Note to self: do not go to Luxemburg without bringing enough 30-06 ammo to last a platoon for 2 months

Haters gonna hate. Actually, even gun fans of this forum will hate, since so much awesome can't be handled.

from the same excercise:
Got into contact in the middle of the night while on 12.7(mm) guard duty, suddenly the gun next to me oppens fire and starts screaming over comms that they are just 50m infront of us. the next thing i know is my whole platoon charging into positions and me shooting like crazy with the 12.7. Even though it was only blanks it felt really intense and realistic.  ;D

Yes, we are allowed to own them meaning when we got the gun we have to put them in the safe and then it has to stay there. Basically it's meant that collectors have the chance to get their hands on those types of weapons without destroying its real valor.
I didn't just bought that baby because i'm a gunfan but also as an 'investment'.
I had to pay 1400€ for the browning and comparing to a demilled m1919 from Arlon militaria fairs that's dirt-cheap, you wont find one there under 2000€

Again, I have nothing against the M1911, but I still don't understand why the USMC would return to those low-cap old (perfectly working) designs. FN FNP-45 has 15 round mags and fires dem .45 ACP rounds. Why not use those? Probably too expensive for the USMC.

Americains love their .45ACP for more than over 100 years.
Maybe the FN is more expensive but don't forget obama wants to push his economy so to me it sounds logical that they prefer an american manufacture or does FN have a facility in the USA?

same goes for the SCAR and dozens of other foreign weapon designs rejected by the US military

I think they have to.

I believe that is part of deal when the USA adopts any new weapon system.
