The best or most fun gun you could not take home with You

Me, North Africa 1985, I traded 3 pairs of jeans and a bottle of George Dickle bourbon for a 12.7 mm Russian heavy machine gun with 400 rounds of ammo.
At least we had burning up the ammo.

I gave the gun to the Brits in the area.

Cheers, John

There is gun play that is just fun to watch.

Many, many years ago I was at a carnival with my friends. There was the booth with the air powered BB machine gun patterned after the Thompson submachine gun. For 50 cents you could try to shoot out the red star to win a stuffed animal. I blew $2 trying. I stood around and watched others try it with no success. Then an older kid came to try. After two short busts he realized that the game was for suckers. Out of frustration he pointed the gun at the shelf above the target that was filled with stuffed animals and let it rip. Teddy bear guts flew everywhere. He then threw down the gun and ran. I was good for him he did run beacause three rough carny types were right on his heels. I got my $2 worth of entertainment.

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which ismore important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill
