I generally like to stick with the weapon that the figure came with, but it can depend on the mission. Also, something like recoils baby blue rifle can be easily exchanged for an equivalent marauder weapon. If I am equipping different guns to figures, i will usually only give the joes american made/designed weapons, but the cobras get russian/german/belgian made/designed weapons.
