Yeah, ditching the sleeves improved the design a lot.

Yep. It's on his right hip, partially obscured by the RPG7 (I figure he's right handed, but he's holding the semiautomatic pistol in his left hand because he's using his right hand to keep the RPG7 from falling over).

No particular reason. I just want a sense of consistency with the weapon assignments. If you look at the Joe designs, I rarely went for "unique" weapons (apart from the personal sidearms/pistols). The riflemen are all armed with AR15-style assault rifles (M4s or M16s) with the rare HK416 and FN SCAR thrown in (and although those two are internally very different from the AR15 design -- they use short stroke pistons -- they use the same STANAG magazines), the designated marksmen use either accurized AR15-style rifles or improved M14s, the SAW gunners all use the FN Minimi or derivatives thereof, the machine gunners all use improved M60 machine guns, etc.
I wanted the same type of consistency with the bad guys, with the "standard" rifle being the AKM/AKS (in my mind, Cobra and its mercs prefer the 7.62x39 mm cartridge over the 5.45x39mm cartridge, but at the resolution I'm working in, AK-47 derivatives aren't really distinguishable from AK-74 derivatives, so I freely use one in place of the other and vice-versa depending on what pictures are best suited for the character I'm making an image of).
