I spent a great deal of time deeply considering the merits of the AUG against other competing assault rifles before adding one to the safe based solely on its attributes as a combat firearm.

PPK because of reasons. I got a Makarov because it was cheap and close, and a PPK/S BB gun. Sold the Makarov, still might someday get a PPK.
Beretta 92 because of Lethal Weapon and Die Hard. And the Army. Finally got one. It’s good.
Still want a SAA and a Schofield because of all the Louis L’amour novels and cowboy movies I devoured growing up. Just have a Single Six.
Want a Katana because of reading Shogun and The Highlander movie and TV series. Only have a bokken.
Picked up a USP45 for the same reason. While I really like the gun, it’s too big for my hands to shoot as well as my other more ‘conventional’ guns. I thought about selling it and buying an LEM HK45 so I could have a more practical .45 because I found out .45 is pretty fun to shoot.Originally Posted by awp_101
Originally wanted to shoot USPSA with it using a IWB from concealment like Vincent but never got around to doing it.
I may or may not have had fun doing mozambiques and supine bill drills with it at times on the range

An STG-44 after seeing it in several episodes on Larry Vickers' former show on the Sportsman's channel called Tactical Arms, and in the movie Fury. I am still waiting for the paperwork to clear.

Bought one of those 9mm Schmisser clones because of Indiana Jones and Where Eagles Dare.
Didn't like it, and sold it.

Probably a bunch of others too.

I bought my first gun in 1972. A Colt Python, knowing nothing about it except that it looked really cool. I felt vindicated the next year when I saw that all the bad cops in Magnum Force ( second Dirty Harry movie) carried one. I still have it. Early lesson - buy a major brand but pick what looks coolest. 😏 Probably why I’ve always resisted Glocks.
Oh, yeah. 4506, because Sonny Crockett. Bought a 4516 instead because I thought I’d be more likely to actually carry it.
Love it. Would probably have loved a 4506 as much, but the only one I got my hands on at the time I was shopping had the slide buffed to a mirror. Gag.
