Out of reason: MAG58

Within reason: 1919A4

Dirty_Harry · January 30, 2006, 03:00 PM

I would like a steyr aug.

miniuzi · January 30, 2006, 08:31 PM

Anything beltfed with quick change barrels

raydbonz · January 30, 2006, 08:37 PM

I'll go all out & pick a minigun. Yes, there are a few transferable ones - two of them are here in AZ.

GE; they bring good things to life!!

caz223 · February 1, 2006, 04:16 PM

No question, L2A3 sterling silenced.
Historic, exotic, distinctive, functional, and cheap to feed.

Whitworth · February 7, 2006, 11:53 AM

Give me a well made military style rifle in 6.8mm.

You can keep all your M4's and 9mm pistols!

Axel357 · February 8, 2006, 04:18 AM

An H&K G36C with a suppressor and red-dot scope. I'd sleep at the range if I had one of those.

Chaingunner · March 4, 2006, 02:11 PM

I would personally take a BAR simply because they still make .30-06 (I bet that won't change for a while) and it's mag-fed.

For everyone who chooses belt fed weaponry: Where do you intend to find links for your ammo...?

TexiCali Slim · March 5, 2006, 11:41 PM

Pappa Bear:Browning Automatic Rifle, You know for zombie helicopters.
Mamma Bear:Tec 9, Just to sign my name in abandoned cars.
Baby Bear:Glock 18, Hey girls need jewelry, Guys need sidearms.

Surplus dealers. Links and belts are easy to find as are the link or belt filling machines to feed them. I get DM-1 belts for about $6/50rd and 1919 cloth belts about $25/250rd and always keep a few thousand rounds of 308 already on links and/or belts. If I want to feed a weapon off of M13 links instead of DM-1's, they are available for about a few cents each and while they are a little more expensive that M13s, M27s are widely available and I 'm pretty sure they can still be had for less than $.10 each. You just need to know where to look. If you buy surplus ammo in bulk you can often find deals on linked ammo; my dealer recently got about 60k-80k of surplus 7.62 NATO on M13 links and in 200rd ammo cans for about $.20/rd.

Sixty thousand rounds for twenty cents per round, linked? HOLY LORD.

Obviously, the Navy needs to buy from THAT guy, and then maybe I'd get to shoot my M60 again (I've been onboard USS Tarawa for nearly two years. We've had ONE fam-fire for the M60 during that time, in which participants lay prone on the flight deck and fired 25 rounds each. We have ammo for these girls; just no training ammo. I don't know if the Navy realizes it, but people need to constantly shoot and train with live ammo in order to maintain a superior state of readiness...lord, you should see some of these idiots shoot 9mm's on our shooting line..pathetic..)

Silvanus · March 7, 2006, 03:30 AM

H&K G-36 or Sig 550.

OneInTheChamber · March 12, 2006, 04:21 PM

Suppressed M4 with a 203 on it. Top it with an Trijicon ACOG, and gimme, gimme, gimme!

Or for really unpractical, an AT4. Then people might take the NO PARKING sign a little more serious!

Chaingunner - I don't recall what kind of ammo that was, but it was surplus of some sort; maybe Portugese. Nice looking stuff and NATO headstamped. Since most of that was going to be used in his minigun, it had to be fairly good (a hangfire in a minigun can be a dangerous thing). Its incredible they don't get you guys ammo for practice - 25rds in two years is shameful. Its one thing to read the manual and shoot a little to get the feel for how a gun like the pig handles, but if you're going to bet your life on it, you should shoot it enough to get familiar with other aspects of using it effectively - like quickly changing belts, barrels, recognizing common problems that can cause jams or failures, clearing drills etc. I have an MG42/MG3 clone and even after thousands upon thousands of rounds downrange I'm still getting used to its little quirks and learning tricks to use it more effectively.

SemperKnight · March 13, 2006, 12:37 PM

http://www.murdoconline.net/archives/000905.htmlHK G36C. Easy to use, HK name, cheap to shoot. Not very expensive though. 1-2Gs.http://www.hkpro.com/g36c.htm
Or maybe even that new experimental XM8 they claim will replace the M16 as the US infantry primary.

buseydggs · March 19, 2006, 07:58 PM
