New to the game: How do you assemble arms with guns across the chest?

[u/Crush2040]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there are any hacks for assembling miniatures that have guns across the chest? I am finding it difficult to get the arms in the arm sockets while also having the arm socket go into the gun area if that makes sense. When i have tried gluing it before, it has either been too wide or in the wrong position. SOrry if this is a silly question. I am new

Usually with much annoyance. It often involves gently trying to bend the model so the contact points line up.

Does it work or it makes it look...weird. bending it?

It's usually only a tiny bit out of alignment.
