Try it out first with one model and decide. For my guard, I left the pistols off (the bits seemed oversized to me) and used the grenades to fill cracks etc where I could fit them. Pretty much same with the marines.
Or...
You can leave them off.
Most players let pistols and grenades slide if they are not the models primary weapons. Even tournaments rarely demand grenades be modeled. Is your purpose to play absolutely What You See is What You Get or are you a modeler who thinks they look great and are really into the painting? Then you'll need to fit them, usually before you place the arms on. Many painters who go for high quality paint models before arms are on as it is.

If their arms are higher than their waists then by all means show pouches, holsters, grenades and blades]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780530/10576978.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780530/10576978.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780530/10577012.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780530/10577012.page GMT
