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
