All you need is the permits for the guns....six of them :D :D . It's a whole lot easier to acquire and own automatic weapons than most folks think.

Used to be a guy in Anchorage who'd come down to the Rabbit Creek Range periodically with an M-2 Browning, set up his tripod, and blast away with a few hundred rounds of belt fed .50 cal. I'm guessing the breaks between his visits were used for reloading and saving money for more lead and powder.

But, six of em at once.....$$$$$

Whatever winds your watch.

Fired a MG for the first time two weeks ago. Pretty cool. One was a HK rifle in 5.56 very controllable and accurate. The other was a Glock MG pistol. Good for shooting at the ceiling.

Couldn't find any for sale currently, but a few years back, some M2's changed hands for 18K to 32K apiece.

I'm thinking if your watch is a self-winder, the machine guns would do a credible job of keeping the mainspring wound up tight.

fired 30 caliber MG's back in the 60's at Ft Leonard Wood. Now if anybody talks to me in my left ear I ignore them.

Re: Gun Nuts: Twilight Tear

We carried an M2 (and then later an M3!) on the left side of our aircraft. And flew with the doors off 98% of the time. It would rattle your fillings for sure!
