Nice! Trying to re-create the "Fugliness" of v1, I take it :P. The Punisher mug does a good job of that - very cool.

Nice head choice, but I think that the SAW is a bad choice for our favorite infantry trooper. Give him one of MJ's swanky moular M-4s and he'll be pure awsomeness!

very very nice and true to original 13.
I can't quite agree with Spectre's SAW comment, the SAW is a very versatile weapon, and may very well fit in well with Grunt, yet not impinge on Rock and Roll's M60.
But, the Grunt we all know and love carried an M16, and either an M16 or M4 would really create the iconic look.
I say go with what you like. The M249 SAW was well and truly integrated into the armed forces during the mid 80's and would be appropriate for Grunt, the M4 not so much unless you tone it down to a CAR 15 look alike

I would have never thought of that head- totally works.

Thats not a SAW its an M60-E3, not a personal choice for ol Grunt, I'd go with the m16 from Marauder John's, and the head choice is perfect!

i kinda hate the headsculpt but there aren't many other decent choices. the head from vvv slipstream or ace wouldn't have been a bad choice if they were designed to fit on pegs like that.

this reminds me how i'd like to see a navy blue grunt made like in the cartoons.

He looks super pissed off. Which is why I like it.

glad you like him, he's ez to make for everyone too.
I wanted a m16 for him but I'd have to go raid my older customs to find one so I just wanted a gun in his hands for his picture debut.I plan on finding the right gun though, again thanks.
