What in the world is mounted under her pistol?  :unsure:

Mossie

No idea. It doesn't seem to show up on the same on the CG render. There's a laser sight but no sign of the extension thingy, unless there's an extra on the sprue.

Something to stab with when she runs out of ammo? :unsure:

On the kit sprues, it's just a stub - it looks like a flashlight. Something like one of these:





A common complaint about older Masterbox figure sets was that the kit plastic didn't match the poses/equipment on the boxtop. They've gotten much better about that.

I think the long thing is an artefact, its not on the other artwork on the product page. Pretty sure its a flashlight-laser combo.

What's under her handgun weirdly looks like a Harris style bipod  :o
I had one under one of my rifles and it looks extremely similar...check this out .

Scroll thru the pics and you'll see it mounted and folded in a rifle .
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Just out of curiosity, why would anyone stick a torch onto a firearm? Maybe I'm missing something but, to me it simply says ; "Look at me, I'm a target. Shoot at the nice light!" ;)  ;D

Monster mate we mount torches with a remote pressure switch which we use to activate the light when holding the weapon in both hands ..we mount the switch the way we want it ...personal choice.
The torch might be a target but with a IR lenses we can see em with NVG's but not the bad guys ..also if ya have a powerful one they are brilliant at blinding  bad guys before the fall down part .
One other thing is working a double team trick ..one guy will have a light out to his side ..the second will not have his one on ..military torches are extremely bright and the second chap uses his mates light to target the bad dudes and the bad dudes can't see past the light ..works surprisingly well as a shield.
Some even have a dazzle function..one I have has it ..disco time baby  :wacko:  ;D

There's also the whole "with a flashlight on my firearm, I have both hands available if I have to shoot".  Way back when I was a USAF cop (30 or so years ago), it was really awkward trying to maneuver an M-16 in one hand and a flashlight in the other when clearing a darkened building.
