As far the revolver goes, that is $ucked up! I like the notion of it being a part of a traditional uniform...that at least makes it conceivable. Am I wrong or does the CG come with a Garand or something like that? Too lazy to look up the pic right now.
Looking at all versions of the CG from 1985 on it looks pretty much like anytime the CG has come with a rifle (other than when it was a 12 ga folder in '04 and a HK UMP in '05) it looks to be an AR15/M16 style rifle, although the stocks seem to have changed around a bit from time to time. Either way none of them seem to be the classic AR/M16 style fixed or collapsible style stocks.
Which makes sense, seeing as how many different style AR/M16 stocks there are on the market now a days vs years ago. Maybe ol' Destro has just been a head of his time for a while?
What would be cool though is if it were a .308 AR10 style rifle vs a .223 AR15 / M16. Now THAT would make a LOT more sense for a CG, as they are supposed to be the best of the best and brightest! Why not just give them the more superior caliber weapon then!
That ought to be enough to stir up a good .223 vs .308 debate! Hahahahaha!

BTW, the "XMLR-3A Laser Rifle" which is the GI Joe style rifle that Snow Job and some others have always come with is more the classic Garand / M14 style rifle. It doesn't really look exactly like either one, but it's pretty close w/ the exception that it has an AR style grip.
...........not to mention the fact they call it a "Laser Rifle" too.
