They have a collection of some really gucci looking guns, such as AR-15s with Hera Arms CQR furniture and a 9mm AR for close-range clearing while a scoped SCAR-H and a tactical-looking bolt action rifle give you your standoff capability. In addition, there is also a separately modelled drone, a little touch to make these guys feel high-tech and up-to-date. The faceless balaclava look does make them look a little bit like some bad guys though, so they could be ideal for adding some skilled advisors to your insurgent militia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in these figures, you can find them on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myminifactory.com\/users\/Enemy%20Spotted%20Studios\">MyMiniFactory in the Enemy Spotted Studios tribe<\/a>.
