You don't happen to have a use for Budo (one of my other least favorite characters) now, do you...
Thanks John, I use Budo as a Sabre Squadron Armorer. I've made him a Marine in my 'verse and I don't know but the fact that he's always working on motorbikes and all the swords etc, to me he screams 'Swordsmith' or metal worker especially his Retaliation figure.
I've patterned Budo on a GySgt (now retired MGySGT) in the Marine Corp's first attempt at a SOCOM unit and a fore runner of MARSOC - USMC SOCOM Detachment One (MCSOCOM DET One)
DET One's armorer was a very highly skilled precision weapons specialist of Japanese ancestry (I won't name him publicly) who has a reputation for extremely fine craftsmanship and ability. I read that he overhauled all the DET One's firearms and they're now very collectable and pricey.
Here's a link to some of their history.
http://www.marines.mil/Portals/59/Pu...00001300_1.pdf
Sadly, it's only 70 pages. There used to be a full pdf but I can't find it publicly.
Anyway, the thing about MCSOCOM DET ONE was there were only 70 members but they were all given advanced CQB training, there's a famous story of them training with a SEAL Team and the SEAL's were shocked when as they were exiting a CQB Kill House they saw the DET One Admin and Support guys geared up and ready to go in next.
