I only have a story to contribute, I have a friend who like to collect military stuffs, he got US military stuffs like boots, helmet, night vision goggles, binocular, kevla vest and some bb guns like M4, USP, R700, G36C, shotgun... etc he's crazy about those stuffs.
When I visit his home I bring out his guns and try to fire those, but the fucking problem is they don't have the fucking bullets! I ask him where are all the bullets (the small round plastic pieces)? He said I don't need them I threw them out, then how you shoot these guns then? - I asked, he answered: I will fire them like pew pew guns then
I couldn't reply after he said that

PS:

Yes, nerf guns count! ( aint that like really popular in the states?) I got a couple of bb guns myself. I mostly collect funny looking rare classic guns and dont play against others with them. However my well used stg44 is used in skirmishes. Latly however I have been using my cheap ass china made thompson m1a1 with drummag , its entire made of plastic and weigh nothing so you can wave it around Max Payne style.

Those chinese stuffs are cheap but they're also easy to break down. My first bb gun I gonna buy is a RPD or RPK with drum magazine and automatic fire airsoft version (sadly, if the police gonna find out they will take those kind of guns ).

Had an AK-74 and a double barrel shotgun from China. All broke down in a skirmish . Only my Glock 17 (German quality) is still working about two years now .

I had a bb MP40 but it broke  . It still looks cool . I'll get a pic later

Anyone have grandpa/grandma's medals? My grandpa was a soldier and he had tons of them. I will try to find them show for you guys. And hey, show yours too!

[Sommarkatze]

Yeah, the chinese one are in terrible quality. However they are often quite cheap and often the coolest looking ones ( mp40s, c96s and such.) If you prefer older weapons like me
Like Fishy/sharky said, they look cool still though, nice props and such ^^.

Doesnt have any medals. I got my grandfathers fathers hitlerjugend knife however. I get some pictures!

My Arsenal:

Mosin-Nagant
SKS
Carcano
Several Pistols which I will not begin to name the entire list, including but not limited to Glocks, Winchester Revolvers, a Luger P-38, an old .45 that I'm afraid to shoot because it might explode

Oh,
Miscellaneous items include 2 shotguns, one gas-chambered and one pump-action, a .30-30 Winchester, aaaaaaand 2 pairs of Milano Stilettos.

My grandfathers were born during the war so I don't have anything like medals for that seeing that Italy withdrew in 1943 and did not require men to fight anymore. (So no great-grandfathers either)

However a few of my great uncles that arrived in the states went to Vietnam to gain in return educational opportunities. (The top level in school for the village we descend from was 5th grade )

My Wishlist:
1923 Thompson SMG. It look so pretty

Cranial, your guns are real eh?

Now I want to be a proudly US citizen 

[Cranialwizard]

Yea.

Now I want to be a proudly US citizen 

Owning weapons has lots of silly stupid laws over here. If it's above a certain age it has to be registered, if it's below a certain age it has to be registered. It's also dependent on state, in New York it's illegal to carry most weaponry without getting certified in classes like Gun Safety etc.

Needless to say, I found loopholes. I don't keep my firearms in the state of New York.

Surprisingly, it's the Switchblades that could get me in the most trouble, lol (Possibly the .45 too but I dunno)

@Cranial: Looks like you are ready for a zombie apocalypse

Just about yea. Ammo can be expensive for the older guns so I try to make sure their iron sights are well fitted and leave them alone until something bad happens.

Like a zombie apocalypse.
