You’re talking with a friend about gun rights and the limits of the Second Amendment.
“Absolutely, you should be able to own a gun,” she says. “But who needs an assault weapon?” She goes on to spout a line explaining how bump stocks turn regular guns into machine-guns. “Doesn’t the sale of machine guns put the public at higher risk for school shootings? Machine guns kill more people faster, right?”
She has a good point. Fully automatic guns are dangerous when they fall into the wrong hands. You start to wonder: Do we really need them?
But then you read the Second Amendment again. And you remember: The amendment protects our right to bear arms, not just so that we can protect ourselves from crazy school shooters, but so that we can protect ourselves from any threat to our freedom — up to and including our own government.

No Matty Mattel. I don’t want an M-16.
Very easy to answer that one... the M65 atomic cannon known as “Atomic Annie” and used in the Upshot-Knothole Grable test.
Short barreled AK-47, Krinkov.

Biggest trooper carried the Pig? Not so. In my early enlisted infantry days, I was an M60 gunner. 5’11/170 lbs of marathoner who used to run the 2 mile in 9:40 and do 115 PU/120 SU well into my 40s as an officer (well the run time dropped a bit I admit as I wore my knees out).
I carried the Pig for a year while stationed in W Germany 84-86, 3rd ID, 2/30 IN Wild Boars. Had no trouble humping it in full battle rattle with the squad.
Our biggest guy carried the Dragon plus his personal M16A1.
Everyone carried either LAWs, extra 762 ammo or a dragon missile, or mines or the demo kit or …. We all maxed out at about 120lbs of combat load.
This was prior to and just into our transition from M113s to M2 BFVs. Then the focus changed from dismounted operations to more mounted ops.
Working on the wife to let me have a LeMat. I’m gonna get it anyway, but it is always good to get her input.
LeMat...
That pistol is in So Many Movies!
Me...
I’m holding out for
.50 cal BMG.
Call me nostalgic.
I think they all should be legal and easy to obtain but actually I am perfectly happy with all the models which are still widely available.
I sort of would like a Browning Hi-Power with the shoulder stock/holster. Same for the Artillery Luger. Just never could afford the fees.
Sort of like to have a Beretta Lupera with 15 or 16 inch barrel.
German H-44 design: 8 x 50.8cm main guns. Diesel engines capable of 30 knots. Roughly 1,132 feet long.
ANM2 Stinger, Colt Monitor, FG42, Sten MkI, Mkb 42(H), etc.
G30, hands down.
The guns and their are doable, but the holster rig would be a bitch to handle.
Silly question. I’m in California.
