Heh.  The fun part is finding one of the DPGs in its "folded" position -
I 
believe one came with the Grizzly RAFM mini.

BTW, both the Southern and Northern gears use the DPG extensively in the

game, mostly as a backup weapon when they run out of ammo for their
primary 
gun <g>.  For the RAFM gear minis, the Cheetah and the Iguana are
sculpted 
with the DPG as their primary weapon.  The difference between the two is
in 
the armor shape: if the armor is "all roundy" then it's a Southern gear 
(Iguana), but if the armor is "all rectangular" then it's a Northern
gear 
(Cheetah).

I think that American Eagles in Seattle might have a few of the RAFM HO 
gear minis left, along with Game Wizard in Ballard (Seattle).
