It's the perfect Viper weapon.



You forgot one word there Viperlord, Modular ;-) :-D :twisted:

When I have some cash, I am picking up some modular NVRs to go with the NVRs I already picked up from MJ for my Viper Pit Vipers, AK-74's w/ grenade lauchers is the perfect combination for your basic troop. (That is what I armed all my night watch troops and officers with.) :-D

As for Hasbro weapons vs MJ, MJ wins hands down, the detail, the options, the price point, wow, you can't find anything better out there. MJ is a godsend to the community!

I'm going to be replacing all the firearms on my Cobra Army soon.
The blueshirts will all be getting AK-47s, the CG's AK-74s,

But what should I give the vipers to replace the dove gray guns they came with? (oh if only they had been molded in black, like theone that came with the claw/fang set.)
I picture Vipers as second tier troops, so their weapons should be an upgrade from the "Grunts." I aslo want to replace the ridiculous giant scale uzi carbines that came with my IG troopers, as well as their sidearms. They should be top tier.

Any suggestions?


Hey!
I would agree & "humbly" suggest the NVR rifle. Also, the "modular" NVR rifle allows you to customize the weapons within the squad. The majority of the troopers get the basic NVR, but some could use the modular NVR with grenade launcher, vary the scopes & front grips, etc. Also, another thing to consider are "specialists" within the combat group (snipers, anti-armor, SAW gunners, etc). The 50 Cal sniper rifle is a modern & cool upgrade. The anti-armor/explosive trooper could get the RPG or new Multi Shot grenade launcher. The squad automatic gunner could get the Gatling "mini-gun" or M249 (would suggest RPK, but that is more in-line with the "basic" Cobra troopers). Here is Viper equipped with the NVR:

The Iron Grenadiers could get the Uzi with silencers OR the modern upgrade of the Special Agent Machine gun (MP-7) with scope (here is a picture of the weapon WITHOUT scope, but all of our "modular" scopes can be mounted on the weapon):

Also, if you do allow Marauder to "gun-run" for you...don't forget to request your FREE bonus weapon. The free bonus weapon offer with order is good for ALL joeboard members!

Thanks!
MJ



LOL, you're putting Destro out of business man, :)

Agree with all the points about MJ over Hasbro, but I think you left off the most important - MJ doesn't use flimsy plastic. Nothing is more irritating then when Hasbro does make a decent looking weapon, you can't use it because someone's breath with deform it. And nothing looks more pathetic than a trooper with his gun barrel bent at a 45-degree angle.

That's why I want MJ to make some MP-40 for my Indy figures.
