So I'm looking at Impact Armor Duke and it appears that the armored area on his forearms is on the inside instead of the outside and the outside of his forearms is unarmored.
So I checked the little "L" and "R" symbols at the joints and it appears that they are on the correct arms, but I'm wondering if this is a screw up at the factory production level? This photo of the new Duke with what appears the arms reversed seems to confirm this. I'm going to try a forearm swap and see if it looks any better. Has anyone else noticed this? |

I hadn't noticed this at all. I'll have to check my duke when I get home. In the mean time, instead of popping the arms off and switching them around, have you tried just rotating the lower arms around to get the armor on the outside?

Can't rotate. There's an elbow pad so there is clearly a front and a back. Gonna try the swap now.

Speaking of Duke, I am rather curious as to what type of machine gun he's using (the one he's holding in the attached image, encircled in red). It seems like it was an assault rifle which was cut in half, maybe by Storm Shadow, or by Snake Eyes, when Duke tried hitting on Scarlett. Or is it just a new type of weapon? I understand the new bullpup assault rifles - they seem logical. This, not so much to me. |

I'm more concerned with why Duke comes with a sword... What the hell?
