Late to the Meme Wagon...

Y'know, I saw this when Robb did it like, oh, three weeks ago and thought, boy, that's a great idea. I had just returned from SHOT Show the week before and was busy catching up on stuff, and watched while everyone and their brother took their turn, and at the time figured I'd missed out. So I was sitting down last night, remembered that I hadn't put up my five, and here we go!

I'll use Robb's criteria:

What 5 firearms would I purchase, should price nor practicality be an issue?

Hoo boy. This one's wiiiiiide open, ain't it? Now, I'm going to make a couple assumptions on this one. First off, I'm going to make the assumption that if it is legal to own, it is on the list. That means that brand new full-auto firearms are out, but anything that is transferable is not. Secondly, we'll also assume that if I can afford anything on the list, that I can also afford to feed it. With that said, here goes...

5. Coonan Classic. My favorite cartridge and my favorite pistol platform hooked up one night in Tijuana Minnesota and produced the Coonan pistol. What's not to love?

4. Barrett 82A1. Oh lord yes. I would only buy this, mind you, if I could rig up a scale model airplane and shoot at it...

3. Thompson submachine gun. And all the 100 round drums I could find. Why? Because Earl Harbinger is the biggest badass on the planet, and the Thompson is his gun of choice.

2. Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum. Because this is the most powerful handgun in the world. It'll take your hand clean off if you shoot it wrong... I am, if nothing else, a recoil junkie...

1. GE Mini gun. Why? Because I ain't got time to bleed. Besides, what's a cool quarter million among friends?

So, for the folks who haven't played along, what are your top five money-is-no-object guns?

That is all.
