I assume that while it's the standard side arm for a Marine, Lenny probably felt that because the M18 is a compact, it would look too small in the hands of a big guy like Gung Ho, and so they gave him the full size, which is the M17. Style choice.

You're right, this is correct

I'm proposing these edits to fix several new discoveries:

Snake-Eyes* - Heckler & Koch 416 inspired rifle (with Troy Industries stock & Hera's CQR front grip), Heckler & Koch UMP, Uzi submachine gun, 92FS Beretta semi-automatic pistol, dao, katana

Viper# - Rifles/carbines of original designs using Swiss/FN SCAR parts, Nerf Rival Knockout XX-100 Blaster

Range-Viper - Milkor M32 Multiple Grenade Launcher, SIG Sauer MG338 light machine gun, Glock inspired semi-automatic pistol

I'm bumping this because we have Grunt's weapons to merge in plus the edits from my last post

Being that we got the M18 and the P320 Compact we should get the M17 as a matter of principle.

Doesn't Gung-Ho have the M17, it's got the extended baseplate plus the longer slide which extended past the dust cover...it's the M18 we don't have but with how similar the silhouette is to the P320 Recondo has I don't see them sculpting it

Why are you asking me? You're the gun enthusiast. LOL.

Oh, just trying to not be rude, yes essentially we have both versions of the SIG which is interesting for the Classified line to have two variants of the same gun

Which leaves me to think will Airborne come with the SieGies rifle. I sincerely hope that Lenny fixed this on Wild Bill



Not only is this shit impractical it doesn't even look cool. Just give Bill a double holster and call it a day.

As the other gun enthusiast, I will respond to the rhetorical question with a yes. As I've said before a couple times, Retro Gung Ho has an M17, not an M18.
