The only time a Commando should be punching is if his weapons are already inoperative.
Given a choice, no one should ever choose to punch instead of firing the SRM-4 or medium laser.
Of course, kicking is a different story

I'm in my Commando, and I need to get into a building, grab someone/something that wouldn't react well to getting shot, and carry the cargo away without it getting damaged. I can punch through the wall with my right arm, and have a 50/50 chance of hitting with the fist instead of the SRM launcher, or I can punch with my medium laser, optics first.
I need to pick up a crate that doesn't have handles. I get my right hand fingers under it with some work, and I slam my medium laser into the ground, optics first.
And so on and so forth. It's just not a good placement. Otherwise, I really like this redesign. Shorten the laser to behind the hand, or shift the whole array back so the extra sticks out past the elbow and I'm golden.
