Attached Link: Sandy Lodge Poser utilities and other stuff
Unless you have 3DS Max, the .max format is useless. Apparently, nothing else can read the data. Cedarwolf, if that's the site I gave the link to, I thought most of the stuff on that was in Lightwave format (and that can have problems too). I suspect it would be worth having access to some other 3D program as an alternative import route. Poser internal scale is very different from most other programs, so importing can be awkward. The native scale is apparently 96 inches to 1 Poser Unit (Poser 5 can display other units, but the Poser Unit is what the files use) but Geep (see his tutorials) uses 100 inches. But it means that a .3ds model of a gun will fill a large Poser warehouse if it isn't re-scaled. The link above has a utility which can help with this, as well as a couple of don't-look-too-close hand grenade props. Incidentally, if I remember right, TurboSquid has a lot of free contemporary tank/artillery ammunition which comes up if you search on "grenade", but you'd have to check on the file format.
