World Cup Winner = New Gun

wizzamen · June 30, 2018, 08:32 PM

Is anyone using the World Cup as a great excuse to buy a new firearm?

For example in no particular order:

If Spain wins you can buy a Star Model BM pistol to celebrate.

Croatia: Springfield XD, XD-M, XDS pistol

England: Enfield rifle

Belgium: FN firearm

Brazil: Taurus firearm

Switzerland: Swiss K31 rifle and a Victorinox Swiss Army knife as a bonus.

Sweden: Swedish Mauser and a Morakniv knife as a bonus.

Japan: Arisaka rifle

Russia: AKM variant, SKS, Mosin-Nagant

Mexico: case of Aguila ammo

France: Opinel knife

Colombia: ?

Denmark: ?

Uruguay: ?

I "accidentally" bought something I shouldn't have.

Therefore: My usual lack of interest, combined with an "accident", means a big no to World Cup betting!

My take on the miscellanies:

Denmark: Krag-Jorgensen

Colombia: FN-49

Uruguay: 1908 Mauser

I guess it's good I'm rooting for Belgium.

Absolutely!!!

If the US wins I’ll buy a precision rifle.
If the US doesn’t play I’ll buy a precision rifle.
If the US doesn’t win I’ll buy a precision rifle.
