[Note: Was Super unsure as to where to put this]
In my very modest collection, the Cobra Infantry rapidly demarcated himself as my favorite figure. (Baroness supposed to arrive Saturday, so we'll see). I had the opportunity to get the Cobra Trooper and really dithered for abit, finally settled on the Infantry and the more I have him in hand, the more satisfied I am with that choice. The blue and grey web gear really really ramps the appeal for this figure for me. But my relationship with his accessories (his or the Trooper's), is... middling. One of the first things I did was take some angle clippers to his knife. Took off that safety point and gave it a fairly sharp Tanto clip. Conceptually I don't have a problem with the Nerf guns, when I returned to the franchise the absurdity of the Sunbow series was my first crush, so [Fling]"like a Laser"[/Flint] didn't strike me untoward.. but the pistols this guy comes with... I love the nihilism of having two sidearms. I Despise how flat and cheap looking these guns are. So I just received my first Marauder Gun Runners order; two 1:12 scale Lugers, my free gift was a Walther. Knee-jerk response: I'm pleased, with caveats. 1. They are... very scale accurate little Lugers. So the grips are thick, directly addressing my primary complaint towards his included pistols.. but they're also difficult to get into his hands. This is exacerbated by the scale correct trigger guard... it is possible to get his fingers on the triggers, but it requires an investment of time, effort, and emotional fortitude that I'm not sure I'll be doing it very much. Mediating on snipping the trigger guards so I can play with the pistols... not sure. 2. They fit in his holsters beautifully, and this is where I suspect they will spend most of their time. I could be completely impossible and say they could do with some checkering on the grip, it's a touch plain sticking up there, but I'll still take it in a pinch. I also like the vibe that the greebles under his knife sheath could pass as two nine mil magazines easy. 3. Being as accurate as they are... the barrel is small.. and it kinda gets lost against the figure at arms length. Might throw caution to the wind and scratch build some silencer/compensator/LaZoR projector.. an ideal circumstance would be the "Luger 60" from Wolfenstien: The New Order, but I haven't the budget or patience to go hunting around for decent 3d prints... also the period arms add an additional layer of seriousness... perhaps an MP40 to go with? ...got my eye on that Kriss Vector from Action Force tho.

My advice is to try Etsy. Type in Classified and you will see some very nice weapons.
Marauder makes the perfect replacement pistol (it was called like a Delta or Bravo pistol) but he hasn't had them in stock in forever. Edit: It is the Bravo pistol. I have two of them and would love more. They make great replacements for Black Widow figures too. https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/12-800003.htm
