I'm a bit of a GI JOE nerd, I admit it. I've studied my Real American Hero figures since I was a kid... Anyway Here is one of my observations:
I think Hasbro must have made a mistake in arming and naming the original Cobra Troopers and Officers. Why would anybody field an army of troops with sniper rifles, and give their officers AK-47 assault rifles?!? It doesn't make sense. AND; if you look at the Original figures you see that the Officer has web gear loaded with ammo AND the trooper has a pistol and a pair of handcuffs molded on his chest and arm. Usualy Officers are given pistols and soldiers have the Assault rifles.... So why does the Cobra army have it all backwards?!?!?! I think Hasbro made a mistake and just ran with it. THINK ABOUT IT |

I really wish they would stop shipping the officers and troops with dragunovs. I have a whole baggy full of nothing but.
I found it a real refresher when I found Scarface with the AK. Also, on the subject, Cobra has all kinds of logistic issues like that. For example, Vipers get totally unnecessary goggles while the troopers get nothing but a helmet for ballistic protection. Its like they are the compulsive buyers at the illegal arms deals. 50000 goggles for $500? SOLD! |

+the Vipers are supposed to be the lowest rank, yet they have helmets and vests to protect themselves...like once the get promoted, C.C. say "give that stuff back, you dont need it" lol

I thought the blueshirts were the lowest rank because the Cobra Pilots(Which are blueshirt Officers) are just under the Viper Pilots so they would be upgrading gear not giving it back for lesser gear.

LMAO! I like how the Crimson Guard have medals on their uniforms, but aren;t they supposed to be undercover accountants, lawyers, doctors, etc.? What the hell would they earn medals for?
