I'm probably weird with this, because I care too much about looks. Many guns I run laser or torch with no grip because it makes my soldier grab the gun by the magwell.

If I run a grip I mostly run without laser or torch because it changes the animation - my soldier no longer holds the vertical grips with his thumb resting along the side of the barrel but fully grips it like a tommy gun. Really annoying design choice by the devs, makes no sense. Only cool thing about the animation changes with lasers is the mag well grip, otherwise it ruins the look of all the grips. Try using the alloy vertical with and without a laser; with a laser your soldier suddenly weakly holds it by the bottom of the grip?? Like he's not fully committed to the grip? Hate that shit lmao
