This reminds me of the stories my dad would tell me of how he could make it to Orange Beach or Pensacola or somewhere in Florida to chill on the beach for a weekend and back for like 50 cents of gas.

I believe the chauchat is considered the worst gun ever.

Yea, but the speed limit was 55 and cars didn't last to 60k miles. That drive used to take 7 hours...

It was horrible. Besides the major design flaw of having a skeletonized magazine that let in all kinds of dirt and mud, the manufacturing QC was so bad that virtually no parts were interchangeable from gun to gun.

I teared up 'cause I had one of those toy bazookas when I was about 8 or so.

Thanks for the sub machine gun definition. Always wondered. It still makes no sense.
Guess I should google the term "machine gun" and what it originally meant. As type of round dictates what a gun was called or still is?
Times have changed so much. Crazy. My good friend has an old Springfield "Trapdoor" Rifle. It has his grandpas name scrawled in the stock like a 13 year old. Because he was 13 when he went plinking with that bastard!
Can you imagine the outrage today? Kids shooting cans or snakes in a gully in the country. Then one breaks out a 45 Caliber beast? Probably was late 1930's that this (then) kid was tear assing around rice fields with that thing.
I can't imagine shooting it now as a man much less a bean pole 13 year old. The stock fricking sucks!! Looks like 2 fangs ready to destroy a shoulder.

I wonder if liberals consider these as "weapons of war" as well.

The anti-tank gun doesn't look like it would fire anything big enough to take a tank out.

It's not going to blow the tank into pieces but putting holes in armor and killed the crew or disabling key functions is more how you can visualize it.

I vaguely remember gas being about .30 a gallon, and hamburgers at the drive in .15
I think I bought my first shotgun when I was a teen for less than $100. It was a single shot crappy firearm but only took a couple months hauling hay to purchase.
Those Iver Johnson ads are hilarious. I can't imagine the reaction if they were put out today

Unitended Consequences by John Ross (link mildly nsfw due to the cover of the book)
John Ross has the protagonist of the book shoot down a helicopter using the Solothurn 20mm. It's a neat scene.
A long book but pretty good, I thought. He wrote it to chronicle the 20th century's ever-growing restrictions on gun rights.

I have 5 of the 10 rifles pictured in the first photo.

not to be that guy, but I don't see how an anti-tank rifle can be justified, but hell I would like to own one at $100.
