Going to out myself here, but I'm that guy. I don't know a lot about guns - I know a bit. I'm swimming in the kiddy pool compared to others around here. That being said, I can tell that Rock n Roll comes with a very old machine gun, which I'm okay with, though I would have preferred a more modern gun with the figure.
BUT, I do definitely prefer my Joes to come with realistic looking weapons and firearms and gear, or at least look like they are inspired by real-world weapons. And that's exactly why I've spent so much on Grid-Iron lol

I'd have no complaint if Rock N Roll came with the most recent M60 version:

The M60E6 is a beast and an incredible weapon of choice. That is definitely an easy modern take on something Rock N Roll would use, at the end of the day.. it still fires red lasers in my head canonical thinking lol

I actually asked Lenny to update Rock and Roll's clunky Vietnam era M60 to an E6 or an E4 during San Diego Comic Con. Didn't stick, I guess.

Wonder if it may have been too late at that point? But that's great you gave him some input/feedback! And maybe he'll remember that idea and take it into consideration for future figures?

It's definitely not too late, although I don't know how complicated it would be. That wave is probably nowhere near production.

While it's silly they have gotten so PC they said "blasters", here's the likely reason...
It's because of Nerf, I've seen writeups online where Nerf communities say "blasters" or some other PC word, not because they hate guns but because of the harassment they get using guns terms by left wing gun control proponents, it's not in their interest to yell gun phrases or words especially near schools or in parks, etc. so they come up with diluted names to get by...I'm guessing Hasbro is just showing solidarity with their consumers since they did promote the Joe Nerf gun |

It must be really close at this point, since we'll probably be pre-ordering it in Dec. Aren't the figures already in production by the time pre-orders go live?

We're likely to see preview samples in the next stream in the next month or two which by the the figures should by well into production
