That's why, in my mind, a terrorist organization in league with a weapons dealer named Destro, of all the awesome names in the world, would be sporting something a bit more mordern. If the AK-47 is a Moskvitch 412, then the HK G36 is a convertible Z4 M Roadster. |

the AKs are generic, but at least you can round out the squad with heavy weapons ie RPG, RPD. if you've got G36s then there aren't any light machine guns or anti armour weapons that are of that gen. besides the CGs have to have something thats at least a step up. they're who I'm saving the G36s for.

i give my cobra troops the short g36 and i'm giving my cg the long g36 as my distinction between them.
there are plenty of options in the same generation, all you have to do is browse marauders to see you have soo many options it's actually hard to make a decision my 25th army is my modern retake, not holding true to any real mythos be it comic or cartoon. i realize some are pure to the history be it comic or cartoon, it's just as valid an opinion as my own |

there are no support weapons in the same gen of the G36. I'd like to see some MG3s and some PSG1s, and maybe a Carl Gustav. I'm still hoping they put out an M56. And now that I think about it a modified C96 would be badass for destro.

Anyway... The coolest thing about overcompensating for youth is the fact that I have a lot more spending money now then when I was a kid. And the fact that there are more figures availible and more often then when I was young. I can still find Troopers at Wal-Mart. And I can drive myself there. No more waiting until Saturday's allowance. So if I want more Troopers, I can get them. If I want three Shipwrecks, Legions packs or Buzzers, I can get three Shipwrecks, Legions packs and Buzzers. (Not that I do, but the option is there.) So I have been enjoying myself. Getting the figures I never could get as a kid. The only bad thing is the fact that Marauder John has such cool weapons that I want to buy everyone of them... however since I don't "play" with my figures, it's hard to justify buing more guns for them... they only have two hands and usually I have them holding onto one gun with both of them. Heh...
