Did you all go through the BATFE process and pay ungodly amounts of money for these guns?
It's easy. Firepower! lives in Pakistan.


You on the other hand, have to pay $20,000 or so.

I got mine about 5 years ago. Yes, I paid an ungodly amount for it. At today's prices it was a bargain.

You have to go through the NFA process, unless you want to be a felon.

I figured as much. I'm not even sure I'm allowed to, living in Jersey.

Although I did not go through any NFA procedures, I did pay ridiculous amounts for my autos.

AKA the HK-94, banned since the 1989 Import Ban, for about $4,000.

There are/were some companies making US made clones of the HK-94 with varying levels of reliability that can be found cheaper.

There is a .22LR look-a-like called the GSG-5 that is supposed to be pretty decent.

I've not fired one myself, but have been hearing mostly good things. There were apparently some early ones that had problems, but the later ones all seem to be ok.
