you know, i've never quite understood WHY they even bother to outlaw HEAVY water-cooled MGs for civilian ownership, inasmuch as anyone who would want one wouldn't likely use it for criminal purposes.

for example a 1907 Maxim gun weighs about 125 pounds & takes several men to even move one. (not so much HEAVY, come to think of it, as BULKY & AWKWARD.)

btw, your Vickers & Thompson are considered "curios & relics" NOW & need very little federal paperwork to lawfully possess.
