    The top turret on the TBM avenger was a 50 cal. It was the gun underneath that was the AN/M2 30 Cal stinger and it was called the stinger because of it's lower position.

      Technically a stinger is a slapdash LMG made of 3 guns that still exist so we can have a non-replica stinger - just buy those 3 and slap them together.
      And before someone calls that a replica - by their logic all modern AKs are replicas.
