The Energon Pub

I apologize if this had already been asked, but while perusing the toy galleries for TF:Prime RiD Optimus Prime, I noticed the figure had his gun in the "open" position with what seemed to be no assistance what so ever! is it actually possible to keep Optimus' gun open so it's displayed as a rifle instead of just a brick? Or is it clear the person who put the pics up had the toy rigged somehow to be held open?

The weapons do not stay open with out some kind of rigging. If you look closely at the pics in question, you can see the little clear rubberbands Ryan used to keep the weapon open.

or you could remove the spring from inside the weapon. thats what i did for megatrons gun.
