The gun in question isn't made for the toys until Destro v3 gets it in 1992. On the upside, it becomes
much
more available during the Battle Corps years as Gristle (The Headman's lieutenant), Major Bludd v3, Balrog v1, and Blanka v1 come with them. Several also come out in the 1997-2000s period (all in matte black). Fair warning: You'll have to sand down the handles if your want your vintage ('82-'83) Troopers to wield these. They're
perfect
for the 2004 Infantry team though.
For those of you asking about the gun the Joes are using, it's Snow Job v1's from 1983. Thanks to accessory packs and other sets, vintage versions are readily available as you should be able to use the one from AP #2 (in light gray), the Tactical Battle Platform (TTBP; 1985, in medium gray), or the Cobra Rifle Range (in Cobra blue). Updated versions can be found, thanks to Kenner's Snow Job (1998). Various versions continued to be made during the 2000s (mostly due to the Big Bens) in a few matte colors.
None
of them are in the color used by the cartoon -- The cartoon's XMLR-3A laser rifle is painted Tan, except for the rifle butt, barrel tip, and other small parts.

.. Reason: I keep forgetting the 1997-2000's retoolings are no longer "modern", compared to the 25A/30A/50A toolings.
