    Maybe a Swedish K or MP5, but if we're dreaming big, a Dillon Aero mini-gun.
    Seriously though, a Ma Deuce for the win. It would probably be double the budget and then I'd need a pick-up truck to mount it in (or an old Willy's JEEP or a Rover).
    Any ranges where they'll let you play Rat Patrol?

    Yep for sure. Nothing as awesome as going on a beer run in a Hummer with an M2HB on top.

    Let's say you had an extra $40k laying around and decided to get into the FA game. What gun would you buy and why? Bonus points if you have a good reason to buy a gun that doesn't use up the entire $40k budget.

    I'd probably get a Sterling or MP40. Ammo for them is about as cheap as you're going to get.

    I don't know what they're selling for though.

    The one I'd like to have would be an MG42, but a couple of seconds of firing would cost you a car payment's worth of ammo.

    I was blessed in my younger years to have a good friend who rebuilt many awesome machine guns, so I was able to shoot many things I had never heard of before! Of course they were all post samples and couldn’t be owned by us mere mortals.
    being somewhat pragmatic with a budget of $40K and looking for the most bang for the buck, I’d go with an M-16. Like any AR, you can swap out pretty much any part and build it up in many different ways. 223 obviously, 2zlr and 9mm and a .or of fun would be a full auto 300blk! With your budget you could at least start out setting it up with extra uppers, optics etc.

    I really wanted an M-16 when I bought my first full auto but couldn’t come up with the money and didn’t have the patience so I ended up with an AC-556. It was a great gun and was easy to feed and did have a 22 lr conversion kit for. later on I also owned a Sterling and a Vickers, so I’ve been lucky enough to to own, SMG, assault rifle, and a belt fed. They are all awesome in their own ways.

    MP5 with a 1,3 and auto trigger pack myself and I would love the navy variant. Auto is what makes PCC's epic and the MP5 is still one of the best. For that kind of money I don't want anything blow back operation myself.

    Throw a can, red dot, light and keep it loaded with 147gr subs makes the perfect HD tool.

    When I went to Vegas last summer I got to go to Battlefield las Vegas and shoot some MGs. I got to shoot a Thompson,mp40,mp7,bar,mg42,and a pkm I fell in love with the Thompson i would definitely buy a Thompson if I had the money.

    If I were to buy a smg it would be a tough choice between a ppah41, yugo m49/57 or Suomi.
    In reality a m16 with fightlite belt fed upper is probably best bang for buck.
    Would also love a pkm or dp28 with the belt feed kit on it for my stock pile of 54r the mosin and psl just ain't that hungry.

    I've got Macs which are great with Lage kits. 9mm and 5.56. M16 . Had mini Uzi . Full size Uzi is slow, almost boring fire rate. MP5s are damn expensive for what they are.

    Fnc/ruger556 is damn near M16 money not worth it in my opinion.
    This is the way I went. Sub gun and a FA AR15 at a very reasonable price.
