Holy crap! Not much point posting my cricket bat. Just to ask what do you use your weapons for?

For the Zombies

That's a pretty impressive collection. Now if somebody breaks into your house the only problem you're gonna have is deciding which gun to shoot them with.

When you were purchasing these weapons did you by any chance ask for a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?

Wow,holy mokeys!

Thats alot of firepower.How much has that all cost you?

Closest thing I have is a replica Soft Air MP5A5 and two Soft Air Schmeisser MP40's.

The OC-D

Mine's bigger than yours.

...and they wonder why we think that they're a bunch of gun loving lunatics. Dude, I'm pretty certain if this was replaced with porn someone would say you had issues

what the f*ck, an RPK? Where the hell do you live that an automatic support weapon is legal? Also, do you have a box magazine or just the banana magazines?

It is probably a semi-automatic version for civvies.

Seriously? Dude... you know a hammer or hatchet does just as well because of the intimidation factor, right?

An interesting observation I have made in other forums is that I could post a similar picture with all of my airsoft replica guns and as long as everyone knows they dont fire explosive propelled ballistics, nobody would call me a lunatic. And on the other hand, if owning real firearms makes you a lunatic, whats the difference between one and an armory, like this guy has? If he wants to actually hit you he can only wield one at a time. Does owning a bunch of them make you any more crazy?

Also, my 249SAW and G33/40

G33/40 is a good gun. The Germans know their firearms.

I carry a metal water bottle around with me; I am excitable I could probably kill someone with it if anyone really gave me the reason. I will be looking into what my options are for carrying knives once I am trained.

No guns (or bows) in the immediate future although I do like killing things and eating them.

Can't post mine as it would offend most users.

Not offend per se, but you get the picture. Nobody likes to see grown men cry.

Silly attempt at being funny aside, you do have quite the armament! Reminds me, we had some guy from a right-wing party here brag in nacional TV he had a couple of pistols, shotguns and license for them all. Turns out, he didn't. Do you, erm, actually use them?

This is my old list, havent updated in about a year. Add to the above the following:
Rem 700/Harris Bipod/BDC Scope
RPK
Colt 1911A1
1916 Luger
30/30 lever action
DPMS M4 in 7.62x39
Saiga 12 Guage
Kimber Custom .45
SKS
Ruger PC4
Ruger PC9
Springfield 1903A3

Mauser C-96's are one of my favourite guns... I really want one. same with lugers. ah well... some day...

I think both the fates of the Righteous Harmony Society Movement and the Navajo Ghost
Dance prove that guns win. See also: feudal samurai.

I dont mean to be negative, but who needs this much firearms? You do know that the best anti burglar weapon is a mad dog? I am beginning to see why people may say that Americans have a gun issiue

I'm pretty sure he doesn't collect them because he thinks he'll need to wield eight guns at some point in the future.

As far as zombies go i have one of those:



And plan to pick up wathever else comes my way after (from someone like you's half-eaten corpse probbly).

Edit: Found smaller pic.

I got this to keep you f88kers off my lawn

QFT.

For example:
The M1 Para Carbine is 100% origional made by Inland (General Motors Wartime)....
M1 Garand is 100% origional and I can trace the history back to the Marines Corps In the Pacific In WW2....
The Ak47 Bayonet I pulled off a Insurgent In Iraq...
The .30 Mauser is in 98% condition and all matching...
Kar98 german marked....
12 guage side by side over around 100 years old...
Top .303 is WW2 surplus...
Bottom .303 is WW1 Surplus.. (notice size difference)
Colt 1911A1 is 1943 origional production... was lend leased to GB and stamped on Frame, Slide, and barrel with the Tower Of London Armory along with a Property Of British Government Stamp on frame. 96% condition. Worth a boat load of cash.
1916 lugar... 94% condition.. Paid $400 at Estate sale... worth almost 3x that.
DPMS M4 in 7.62x39... is *now* Out of Production. Price has gone up almost $500 since I bought it cause of this.

As you can see for the most part, I am a collector. Most people put their money in banks hopeing that inflation or a bad economy doesnt wipe them out. I invest my money in guns. Laugh all you want, but since Obama came into office ive almost trippled my investment.

Cool collection, not just the amount but also the choices - that's just about a list of my favourites.

What's the difference between 98% condition and 94% condition? Is there a metric or scale that will objectively spit out 94%, or is just a term to indicate quality?

Seriously, you invest in nothing but guns? There are hedging arguments in favour of investing a portion of your money in appreciating assets like collectibles, but all of your investments? That's a pretty risky strategy, dude.

My personal favorite. Owned by Churchill, Hemingway, and Solo.

All I have is a sword which is just a replica from a game. It is Paine's sword from FF X-2.

100%= Like its brand spanking new out of the Box
50%= Its shootable, but nothing special
0%= Complete utter junk
Higher % = $$$
Lots of things goes into it... Rust, scratches, dings, Fadeing blueing, barrel rifleing wear ect ect brings it down.

Example: Due to Rare markings and Like New high % condition, my Colt 1911A1 with an origional leather holster is worth around $3500 US. Needless to say, I didnt pay near this for it.

Meanwhile my WW1 Enfield is much older, but is in horrible condition. Its worth only $200-300 US.

As for risky... So is the Stock, Economic, and Houseing Market. So far all three have lost money hand over foot while ive tripled my initial investment. If I was to sell everything (including some things I didnt list) I could easially cash in at around $40-45k...........

Cant wait until my Class 2/3 gets approved! .30 Cals=Cash Cows!

Cool. Just wondering if there was an exact meaning to 98% compared to 94%, or if they're just subjective. Like, would 98% mean slight weathering, and 94% mean a greater degree of weathering, while 80% might mean some parts have been replaced?

Yep, everything is risky. That's why it's also very risky to invest in nothing but stocks, or in nothing but your house, or whatever. By spreading out investments, a little in stocks, a little in housing, a little in collectables, you can reduce that risk considerably.

Look, I'm not saying don't do it, because if you love your collection, well then that's reason enough by itself. But if you really are looking at it as an investment, then I gotta say it's risky to have all your money tied up in one place.

I own a pocket knife and a bolt action .22 that my Grandpa gave me. He got it when he was 13 for $5.

The rest of my family owns about 3x more guns than you do. That is not putting them all together. Each individual family member owns 3x more guns than you have shown here.

Its pretty ridiculous actually.....
