5 Guns

The current meme floating around the gun forums and blogs is "What five guns would you own if money and other considerations were not a factor?". I've decided to play along and my choices are as follows;

1. Thompson .45 SMG- I'm not sure if I'd rather have the classic "gangster" type with the fore-grip and drum magazine or the GI style from WW2, but I definitely want one.

2.Vickers Machine Gun

3. Spencer Carbine

4. Colt Army Model 1860

5. M-16 A2 w/ M-203

Most of these weapons have history behind them; the fifth one just has boom behind it.
