This is the first custom I have ever done that was actually inspired by a weapon! Frostbite's M-16 with the scope is one of the greatest weapons in the G.I. Joe line and I needed someone worthy enough to weild the extra one I have!
Headshot is an old ally of Firefly, and quite possibly the only person alive who knows his real identity. The two men worked together for years before Firefly got his exclusive contract with Cobra and went off on his own. Headshot was always the support-fire while Firefly went in and did the dirty work. Years later, Cobra was rebuilding its forces, and needed more agents! Firefly put some calls in and recruited Headshot into the team. In order for the sniper to make the grade, Cobra Commander ordered him to go through the regular training programs, and Headshot breezed through them, scoring higher on the accuracey tests than the instructors! Now, Headshot is Cobra's newest Sniper and is the new firearms instructor.

Construction notes: I whipped up a two-tone Cobra symbol for the red/black forehead, which looks real cool up close, but is hard to see in the photo. I also made up a new "Cobra Sniper Squad" patch and put it on his chest, but that is hard to see as well. It is the open mouth of the Cobra sigil with crosshairs in it. Again, real cool up close, but hard to see in the pic.
