* AwesomeButImpractical: Most of his non vehicle related abilities are this in the original game. The Grease Gun can take out patrols in a single burst, but has limited ammo and doesn't appear in many missions, particularly in the latter part of the game. Mounted machine guns provide a good amount of firepower, but have inferior range compared to enemy weapons, so it can only really be of use to get the drop on an enemy as opposed to a protracted fight. He's the only commando without a silent attack in ''Behind Enemy Lines'' and his baton in ''Beyond The Call Of Duty'' is clearly an attempt to remedy this, except he's the only commando with a non lethal attack that cannot restrain an enemy afterwards. His molotovs in ''Men Of Courage'' are quieter than grenades, but set their target on fire, making it impossible to salvage weapons or uniforms from them.
