With the DSM stuff, this won't be a problem - though the turrets for
some
of the MICVs etc. are quite small (OK, very small) and may get fiddly of
left loose - but the pins are a fairly tight fit in the holes. The
variation in the FW range is something we've "inherited" from CMD when
we
bought the range, and our re-vamp of it (for the UK) this summer is
partly
aimed at cutting some of the multiple redundancy (ie: over-used
mix'n'match
bits) out of the range.
