Hm... Had it not been for the arms, I'd have seen the similarity sooner!
'Course, there are rubbers shaped as divers; they do look pretty much

Um... the only Gargants that do *not* have belly guns or similar are the
Mekboy Gargants and Megagargants - every model inbetween have'em.
Unfortunately E40K doesn't allow you to gun for specific hit locations
any longer...

Yes. This is explicitly stated on page 5, "Rerolls (penetrating

players to decide - preferrably prior to the battle :-/
