New SOG releases from Gringos40

One of a new release from Gringos40 from today 20.9.2022 (US the other way around of course 9.20.22!) a One One firing a Gyrojest Rocket pistol ..hard to believe it fired miniature rockets ,the pistol itself only weighing a pound.. space age Nam! The Gyrojet is a family of unique firearms developed in the 1960s named for the method of gyroscopically stabilizing its projectiles. Rather than inert bullets, Gyrojets fire small rockets called Microjets which have little recoil and do not require a heavy barrel or chamber to resist the pressure of the combustion gases. Velocity on leaving the tube was very low, but increased to around 1,250 feet per second (380 m/s) at 30 feet (9.1 m). The result is a very lightweight and transportable weapon.

I thought these only existed in You Only Live Twice, in Tiger Tanakas Ninja unit!

They're great for space and zero-g, but crap in the jungle! But you never knew what would work back then...
One of the things I love about how this mini (fantastically done) is painted is that he looks like SGT Anderson from the TV series Tour of Duty. Since they did a kind of SOG story arc this could indeed be him!

A rear view of the same chap, well laden down!

Now we can again really appreciate those Tiger Stripes, with a larger image. Clever paint job and modelling here.

Opposite side of the same character;

Something about this photo is exceptional for me.

Tiger stripes are amazing....these are 28mm figures! A great range from Gringos40 (but I am totally committed to 1/72 Waterloo figures for our NAM, which in the UK is our National Army Museum, not a God forsaken corner of Indochina)

Latest in a range that has given up on anything but VN recently, but I can see why. Never even met the owner, but I post his pictures and am delighted to show his work.

Beautiful painting!

A further expansion of the range and one nicely painted up

More talent in modelling and painting. This time sporting an MP40;

that radio operator again, with his dog. Based on a real canine hero called Rhino

and now with a Tommy Gun from Gringos 40

Nicely done!
I think it's super cool that they are putting out all of these figures with the "exotic" weapons. Don't know how useful they are, but real cool.
