Can anyone post pics of how you guys have Longarm hold his weapon after you unscrew it from his arm? And how does it stay in place in truck mode?

Sorry if my questions are stoopid ones...

Which Longarm are you talking about?

Movie Deluxe towtruck Longarm with duck feet.

I didnt realise it unscrewed from his arm. I will have to have a look tonight.

It's fixed onto his right hand by a single screw.

There's a peg on the left side of the weapon that fits a whole in his left hand, which apparently is a good enough fit to hold the weapon (as it is part of how the weapon is held in place for vehicle mode regardless of whether the gun is screwed on or not).

I have him, and I think its meant to stay on his arm.

What kind of talk is that?

You can do so much more w/ his cannon once you remove it- he can hold it in his left hand, for one, or you can mount it as a shoulder cannon (a couple different ways from what I've seen), you can use it as a free-standing gun emplacement- you name it.

I can't explain why on earth they would have attached it "permanently" to his hand- the only thing that comes to mind is that, in truck mode, the tow hook/cannon assembly is slightly wobbly once you've removed that screw- I mean just a tiny bit, certainly nothing worth bolting in place and limiting all those cool alternate uses.

Wow, I kinda went off there, huh...?
