One or two of them buy you the contents of a bank's safe.
I initially thought this was a joke about doing a bank robbery with the boys but that gun actually sells for around 30k USD.
Laughs in californian real estate prices
Yeah, because they're all grandfather claused and legal to own submachine guns.
Same goes for WW2 Browning M2s. I know a guy who does WW2 reenactments and a guy in his platoon has a working Jeep-mounted quad anti-air gun.
(That historically didn't do shit for anti-air but having a working WW2 technical is still fucking awesome)
Mildly related username?
And the shittier thing is that they kinda are valued as currency. Well, maybe "investment vehicles" is a better term. Only the rich own them and because they don't care about the poors, they're not going to let lawmakers dismantle the NFA to the point of removing the mg registry. If they did, their value would plummet overnight.
Pretty sure there are also a few pre-ban M16 and M4 lowers floating around out there. Every once in a while, one will pop up for about $25-35K. I've heard rumors of pre-ban AR-10 lowers going for $45-50K.
Fun fact: For Halloween last year I was a gangster, and 3d printed model of one of these, modifying it by removing the stock, and making the magazine and fore-grip removable, so that it could fit into a vintage violin case I bought on ebay.
Needs an orange tip
Here you go:
For free??? In this economy??
Feet included?
I knew someone would notice that!
I feel like in the right – or wrong, depending how you look at it – hands these could be worth a lot more than just one house.
Everyone gangsta until you show up to pay your mortgage with a Tommy gun.
I believe you.
But my Tommy gun don’t
uss_entrepreneur! You're the only duck in my pond!
Ho? So da yu? pulls out the tommy from his ass I would like to pay my first tenth of the mortgage please ^^
Good ending and no vampires were killed
Ten of those would win you an enemy position in 1944, arguably more valuable than a house under the circumstances. Commandoes called it the "meat grinder".
how many to buy a revolution?
They were not very good guns.
Estimated 1.33 million active-duty troops in the USA armed forces, around 730,000 active LEOs (as of 2024), an unknown number of militias and affiliated partisans, PMC mercs, and freelance, so whatever the exchange rate is for that.
