Unless the Jungle Vipers are going up against ROC Ripcord and Duke with their Delta Accelarator suits, hehehe! These Vipers would end up hitting a tree with that weapon every time they turn. I agree with you guys, it should have been either an SMG or shotgun for the Jungle Vipers. __________________ My troops are ready for inspection.

And for long range shooting in a jungle environment there is always Sniper. __________________ "The Irish when good are perfect." Lord Byron Check out the ATR www.allthatremains2010.webs.com

Yeah, the point is, if it's a triple canopy rain forest, you can't see more than 10 feet if your lucky. And if someone is that close, you might as well hit them over the head with that huge barrel.

Again, they could wait if they have a cropping or cliff along a jungle road, but if the Jungle is really Dense, their vision is very limited. It would be cool if they called these guys "Sniper Vipers" and made them for 4 elements; Snow, Desert, Jungle and City! I'd love to see these guys in Urban or desert Camo!

Good idea, I'd like to see some repaints too. That rifle would be deadly in the open desert or arctic.

There's some good pictures too. This one shows a good shot of the sites. There's the rear butterfly site just to the left of the magazine well and a front sight post mounted a little futhur down the barrel. There's probably some sort of mounting asssembly for a scope on there as well. Good luck. __________________ The United States will conquer Terrorism with the help of God and a few Marines.
