Not bad. But I'll use this photo again of the female contractor we invited to shoot with us. Bring the weapon up to your line of sight, not the other way around:

I'm glad new (new to me at least) producers are putting out new figures, BUT it "you" are using 3D scanning tech, I expect to see unique and dynamic poses. Not something that looks like a 1970's Tamiya figure...

I'm by no means an expert marksman (I don't even own a rifle), but I agree with others who commented that the figure's firing position looks very unnatural, unless he's leaning against a wall and shooting over it. Even then...

Also, you can clearly see he's rocked back on his heels. 60% of the weight should be on the balls of the feet. This 20th Grouper must not have been one of my SFAUC students.

Nice figure EXCEPT for the pose; as all of you have already said he is standing unnaturally for a shooter: one leg should be forward with his weight resting on the front of his feet with the anchor leg stepped back and perpendicular. If he fired a burst as he's standing it would be all over the place as he's not standing solid & anchored. Nice detail on the figure, though...
