the screws look ok to me. only thing i hate is that serpent uses their own metric system. like 3.5mm screws or something.

Own metric screws? The 3.5 mm size or the metric system that is the one not standard? The stock Philips countersunk self tapping screws are normally 3.5 mm. I think it's pretty standard. Well, I think the lightened aluminum screws only come in 4 mm if I'm not mistaken.

Most metric kits use M3 screws not 3.5mm. I think this is what he means.

Ummm, I have not come across M3 self tapping screws. Almost all the time they are M3.5.
