Dusty v1's FAMAS and the Lamprey's gun were my favorites.

I always loved Snake-Eyes uzi . . . Still one of my favorite guns. Though now he has one of Marauders.

Tollbooth's Sledge, I would give it to Salvo and let him hulk smash things

Wild Cards Backpack sheath and machete was also widely used

The Crimson Guard rifle. It was my default rifle for any figure I played with.

Falcon's shotgun. I was kind of bummed when they released the 25th figure without it.

Small Arms

I never liked weighing my figures down with a rifle, and I was one of those caught up in the 80s obsession with the Uzi (ref.: bad guys in every TV show and movie in the 80s)

LIfeline's pistol was probably my favorite - the silver made it seem more realistic, and its one of the better hand guns over all. I've re-issued it to pretty much whatever figure was the focus of my play.

Alpine's submachine gun was a popular choice too but I think that was more so because I owned it, and its a submachine gun, than actually liking the style of it.

These were the guns I always seemed to arm the mission group with. Airborne's rifle, Shockwave's mac 10, Leatherneck's M16/M308 combo in brown from the accessory pack, the heavy gunner had the Tundra kayak's big gun, two Scoop pistols for the silent attack guy, and then one guy, usually Outback, was my weapons specialist who was loaded; Chuckles holster with pistol, Falcon's knife in the buckle, Falcon's shotgun strapped to his back, Tracker's mp5, and Annihilator's gun.

That Alpine machinegun was darn cool.

I always loved both Flint's and the Headhunters shotguns. Dodgers machinegun/rocketlauncher with the spiked handguard rocked as well.

For guns, it was Dialtone's little submachine gun. Otherwise, Falcon's survival knife.

It was Airborne's rifle first and then Frostbites and Leathernecks..then Recoils..always wanted a huge scope on the M-16/203 combo but now I can with Marauders stuff......

Muskrat's pistol grip combat shotgun and his boogie board. And the snowboards from the Wolf got used for every mission no matter the environment.

Falcon's shotgun.

Airbone's rifle. Just thought it was a cool varation on the M-16

As much as I hate to agree with Dave on anything.... ;-)

This was by far my favorite as a kid, and still is one of my favorite Joe accessories.

Destro's (v1) pistol. Most figures came with rifles and like the opening briefcase/backpack, and shiny mask, it was another thing that made him unique.
