Just as it says - what was your favorite GI JOE weapon when you were a kid (not as an adult), please post a pic since they are hard to describe :)

Just curious what others were, mine was always the Crimson Guard v1 rifle - I don't know why, I just always loved it. In my world as a kid it was the most accurate assault rifle out there, and was always "captured" for the use of my lead Joe (usually Duke)

tie between Ripcord and crank cases FN Fal's. I didn't even know they where variations on the same weapon until the end of child hood.

been trying to find a good price on a machined one for a while, can find them made out of stamped or pressed parts cheap but machined ones are spendy.

Would "pets" count? Those were my favorite "accessories"...

But if pets don't count, I'd say my favorite would be Tracker's raft.

Storm Shadow V2's red katana.
I always pretended it wielded the power of fire in its blade.

Ditto

But, favorite weapon was definitely the Cobra Officer's AK-47. Was, and still is, my favorite gun. Second would be Short Fuze's mortar.

As a youth I didn't have many Joes... but Sci-Fi's laser rifle and Mainframe's computer were always favorites.

My favorite was '85 Frostbite's M-16. I think it was that big scope on top that made me like it over any other weapon. Image

I LOVED (still do, too) Bullhorn's three piece rifle. I got bored of the figure about five seconds after I bought it, but that rifle was priceless.

I went through a few different ones over the years. For a while it was Firefly's submachine gun, then Alpine's, and then for some strange reason, Avalanche's weird rifle. Later I settled on Leatherneck's M-16/M-203 and Keel-Haul's pistol, with a healthy smattering of a Lone Ranger pistol for Clutch.

I was also a big fan of Bullhorn's break-down rifle and backpack, too; that thing got a lot of use.

As a kid, I always found myself giving 1994 Desert Flint (my favorite figure) the Rock Viper's rifle. I liked that it had what looked to be computer buttons on the side of it and it was a big gun.
