Great reviews, I believe this a variation of an H&K MP5. Bullpup rifles usually have the trigger and handguard assembly reversed with the magazine compared to traditional rifles.

Nice review but all in all this figure was just lazy imo.

Thanks for the info, will have these updated. I just relayed what the packaging says, right on the filecard. :)

You say the pack is from City Strike Snake Eyes? I don't recall there being a SE's that came with that pack, except for ROC Arctic SE's.

I actually scored a vintage Rock Viper head off of eBay a couple of days ago. I'm in the process of dremmelling the helmet and going to place it on a head that may look acceptable. Hopefully it comes out right.

Broken Arrow is casting the parts I made/put together for my Rock Viper: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-works-progress/120358-wip-poc-rock-viper-w-arah-goodness.html

Setup should include the gun (based off his ARAH which pegs into the backpack and accepts a POC Lowlight scope which fits the holder on his left leg), ARAH style backpack, head w/ cobra symbol, web gear and belt (not pictured at that time).

I believe the head and webgear are getting cast in the dark redish to match his arms/legs.

Edit: Also if anybody doesn't like the bulgy-looking hinged wrists the POC Rock Viper comes with, Raginspoon casts the hands from the Tornado-kick SE that match the arms Hasbro used on the POC RV.
I picked up a couple sets from him, they're cast in black, swap right in and look great on the RV.

Great reviews, I believe this a variation of an H&K MP5. Bullpup rifles usually have the trigger and handguard assembly reversed with the magazine compared to traditional rifles.

Exactly. The precise variation of the weapon is the H&K MP5K.

The best weapon with this figure pack is the VSS (Vinovka Snaiperskaja Spetsialnaya) special sniper rifle.

The pistol, the Sig Sauer P226.

Excellent review of this figure. The helmet is too oily of a plastic, though. I placed a small silver Cobra emblem on the forehead of the helmet, but it tends to peel off.
