Some of them.  The NAC Marines with their bullpups will look as 
ridiculous as modern bullpup weapons do (Sorry, but the fella with the 
bearskin hat, red coat, and that stumpy little gun with a knife on it 
just does not work aesthetically[1]).  But the French or German figures 
might do better.

anything.
