Heck it isn't even the correct model for the ARAH, or the 25th, it's a completely different shotgun.
That is true (although I don't mind that it was a slightly different weapon). They kind of did it with Storm Shadow, too. For many, because the nunchucks were originally included in the '84 figure, it was an essential item.
I agree that the sawed-off shotgun makes a lot of sense for Tunnel Rat, but shotguns almost seem "special" in GI Joe - for those few that had them, like Flint or Falcon, they were part of the character's iconic look. Yeah, it comes down to personal preference.
In the end, we can all just give them what we want anyway. Hot Toys and a ton of other companies make pretty much any weapon you could think of in 1/6th scale.
I'm thinking about trying to obtain some backpacks for the figures, not sure where to start though...
