Well, I'm impressed. You've taken my least favorite drawing (the GM-III) and made it something cool. Good job.

i've translated infantry divisions in MS so iv'e put the US navy becuse also US navy seals uses the GPMS...

Well anyways, you really need to research more on UC weapons, just look at these:
[link] - the large beam rifle here looks like an M16A3
[link] - looks like an M4
Limiting the armaments reduces the MS's flexibility, that's why I recommend the EFSF's 08th MS Team/0083 armory. Aesthetics alone don't cut it either as well (08MST focuses more on realism than just aesthetics, BTW).
