Stats for new (real-world) weapons?

The H&K GMG is basically very similar to the American Mk19. (Slightly lighter, slightly lower RoF.) No problem with stats there. I'd call it EWt 66/44, RoF 5, ST 20M, cost is anyone's guess but I'll call it $18K for the sake of argument.

But has anyone come up with GURPS 4 stats for the new Swedish "MBT LAW"? Or the Mk47 Stryker?

For that matter, what about stats for variant 40x53mmSR grenades? We've got stats for 40x46mmSR in various forms, but no guidance on converting them for other sizes.

I don't normally use GURPS for wargaming, but it looks as though I'm going to be running a Reign of Steel/Action! campaign (with the SAS), where boring old rifles don't do a whole lot against Bishonen and Tarantulas... but HEDP +P is another matter.
