I know nothing about weapons. All the information on this page is gathered from various G.I. Joe message boards and YoJoe.com. I have simply brought my organisational skills to collocate all this information in one easy-to-browse location.

If you have additional information to add to this page, or find broken links, again e-mail me. Really. I welcome all constructive correspondance.

The list is arranged alphabetically by weapon, including the manufacturer when possible. Images of accessories are from my own collection with only a few reluctantly linked from YoJoe.com. Photos of real weapons are mirrored from around the web. When necessary Creative Commons credit is noted in alt-text; otherwise I claim fair-use for non-commercial, educational purposes. The far right column lists the figure each item first appeared with, plus subsequent figures when particularly notable.
