I’ve always wanted a fully operational WWII Thompson and a BAR. I have a Garand. Note I didn’t say I need either of the others but They would be interesting to shoot. Only problem I have is the M1 comes out at the range and pretty soon I am surrounded by other shooters wanting to see and talk about it. I figure a Thompson or a BAR would be the same only worse. They would get my attention.

DITTO.

Of course I still remember the “War Surplus” German Anti-Tank Rifle that you could purchase from an Ad in the back of a Magazine (Boy’s Life?) when I was a Kid.

Including the Magazine and Ammunition it was $179.00, a little pricey for the time. Another FReeper Posted a copy of the original Ad here a while back.

Thompson M1, not M1928, for me. BAR definitely, with bipod. M14.

Since no limit here: 155MM Long Tom. (After all, a barrel of sufficient calibers in length was officially a gun, not a howitzer or mortar.)
