How would you arm specific Joe and Cobra characters? You can only choose from small arms that that exist in the real world. You can go with anything you think fits particular characters - either because you saw them carrying this or that weapons a lot in the comic, or because you just think it's a good aesthetic fit. I'm essentially curious to see which Joes and Cobras you associate with particular weapons.
Here are some of mine: Tunnel Rat - M-60 Stalker - M-16 Falcon - M -16 Outback G3 or FN FAL Beachhead - UMP and/or G36 Mercer - G36 with underslung grenade launcher Snow Job - Either M-21 or a PSG 1 Sub-Zero - FN-MAG GPMG Crimson Guards - M4 or HK 416 Blueshirts AK47/AKM Blueshirt Officers - 80s era MP5 Eels - MP5 Snow Serpents - AK47/AKM and a Carl Gustav 84mm BATs - AK47/AKM Vipers - G36 with underslung grenade launcher Alley Vipers - UMP SAW Vipers - MG-3 HEAT Vipers - Javelin antitank missile Range Vipers - AK47/AKM, maybe a shotgun. Maybe even a bow and arrow? Frag Vipers - One of those mutiple grenade launcher things. That throwing clas has to go! Firefly - UMP Baroness - old WW II style Lugar |

Given the appropriate stimulation, yes I'd agree.

I want lasers so I guess the real world restriction takes me out.
Knowing is half the battle. The other half is laser beams. |

i'm sorry i've never agreed with tunnel rat carrying an m60. If he absolutely must carry a belt-fed weapon...it need be no bigger than an m249. Even that...is pushing it. I always put him with an HK or an mp5, in .45cal so he's got some stopping power...but it should be compact, lightweight, and deadly...just like him
stalker...HK416 falcon...saiga shotgun outback i do like him with an FNFAL or with an m240 if he's not solo beachead SCAR mercer SCAR SnowJob...m107 sub zero...does not exist in my verse Crimson Guards...bullpup blueshirts...ak47 officers...ak74s/various sidearms eels...mac11s/mp5s/various sidearms snow serpents...ak 108s/HK416s/m82s BATS...they are a weapon Vipers...G36s Alley Vipers UMP in 45 caliber SAW Viper...m249 (i can't change this...it's his freakin name) HEAT Viper...m47 dragon Range Viper...saiga shotgun and after that...whatever they can procure Frag Vipers M320/various sidearms Firefly...changes with mission requirements, however RDX is his weapon of choice Baroness...in my verse baroness no longer carries a firearm. She's surrounded by people who are carrying weapons. in my verse she's my commander of cobra |

I guess my Joeverse is fairly influence by the original ARAH comic. Tunnel Rat was typically armed with an M-60, and this seemed to me to be a sort of nod to the Vietnam era - I mean he looked a lot like a Vietnam era trooper, and there's teh whole Hama connection. I don't know how he as an EOD guy always seemed to be taking point with an M-60, but I guess I imagined that as a shorter guy, he might have had a bit of a need to show everyone else he was as tough as any other guy on te team. Hence the big machine gun, big rucksack, etc.
I get that the SAW Viper might want to be carrying an actual SAW, but SAW can be a description of a weapon class as well as a designation for the M-249/Minimi family. Squad automatic weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Also there was something weird about his filecard, which seemed to present him as more of a sniper/machine gunner combo - "Semi Automatic Weapons" (SAW) although he is clearly carrying a belt fed automatic weapon. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - SAW Viper In short, there is nothing about the classic SAW Viper that has ever specifically been related to an M-249 - up until the 2006 figure. Also, I feel like if he is going to be the main machine gunner in the Cobra ranks, he should be carrying something a little bigger and meaner than a 5.56 light machine gun. The MG-3 fits the bill - it's a ferocious weapon that's basially a German WWII era MG-42design with very slight modifications. There are still armies that do use the MG-3 as a squad machine gun, and an experienced gunner can operate an MG-3 efficiently enough on his own. But hey, that's just IMHJv ;) |

Falcon = The 12 guage autoloader = That's Italian. You can go pump or auto
Duke = The .45 long slide, with laser sighting = These are brand new; we just got them in. That's a good gun. Just touch the trigger, the beam comes on and you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go. You can't miss. Anything else? SAW Viper = Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range = Hey, just what you see, pal! Snake Eyes = The Uzi 9mm = You know your weapons, buddy. Any one of these is ideal for home defense. |
