Maybe he shoots to mame, not kill. Like just the knee caps? I gotta give it up to Hasbro, these figures look great. Renegades (RIP) are bought fo show!

Every soldier aims for center mass. You don't want to screw around if you're ever in that sort of situation. Pacifist or not, if it's you or him...

C'mon, think about it - knees are SMALL targets man.
 
Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

i talked to a wwii corpsman a while back and he said he always carried a .45 as well even though techinically he wasn't supposed to. he laughed and said it was for "bears and stuff." it was pretty cool talking to him. he had some intense stories to say the least.
 
Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Corpsman today often carry a rifle and or sidearm. It is for their or their patients protection. Their primary mission is still care and treatment but, they are expected to be able to protect them selves. After all, the enemy doesn't give a crap about the Geneva Convention rules.

I was kidding, it was more or less a reference to T2, but after all I am just a civvy. :wink1:

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Finally found some Cobra Shock troopers! There were only two, I'd like to have at least three or more, but I got what I could find. Very cool figures, loaded with gear! For 7 bucks these are a steal and they really lend themselves to army building as there's tons of options... I figure two with shields, one with the sledge, one with the shotgun and one with the rife... :panic: I need more!!

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

he is definitely bad ass. it's a good thing they arent easier to find or i think i could just army build this guy, the alley vipers, and the new vipers (when they come out).

Couldn't agree more... They have the potential to be addicting... I'm wanting to make some kind of dio for them. Like a stair well or something?
 
Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

yeah, stairwell would be cool for a swat-style take down...maybe about to bust in on chuckles or something. :lol

I only have 2 POC Alley Vipers :( I'm not digging the Shock Troopers as much as others. They look more like a gerneric SWAT guy than a Cobra soldier. I am totally looking forward to the POC Cobra Trooper and Viper though as well as the Renegades Cobra Trooper.
 
Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Got a third Shock Trooper, that's going to be my last I think. Weird, I stopped by the Wal-Mart where I scored two a couple weeks back to look for Joes and SW and neither looked to be restocked but there just happened to be one Shock Troop amongst the frosty Destros and lame Zartans. :dunno
