    Like BBI - A Thompson is on my list, along with a Sterling, and a M712 Schnellfeuer - when I move to a free state a whole host of machine guns are coming to my house.

    I have zero need for it, and it's not a gun but I want a Salvo 12.

    ___

    But right now at the top of my "no need, entirely stupid, absolutely useless, but completely irrationally WANT" list is a Standard DP-12.

    Here's irrational for ya: I already have an AUG A3 (one of the modern ones with a lot of US parts).

    I absolutely, totally irrationally, want a pre-ban Austrian one, with the long barrel and the bipod. For no reason, whatsoever, other than it looks cool.

    Now I don't feel so bad about secretly wanting a Glock 23. Even after you have all told me and shown pictures of how bad .40 S&W wears guns. Every once in awhile I think it would be nice if I could get another S&W model 915.

    When people ask me how many guns I have I always answer “more than I need; less than I want”. It doesn’t have to be practical or rational. But unfortunately I can’t afford an infantry company arms room complete with an AHA that would also require a large ranch or farm to shoot on. But my short list of irrational wants
    .470 NE double rifle
    .416 rigby
    .375 rifle -fancy
    ..30-06 -fancy
    Winchester 21
    Colt monitor
    Tommy gun 1928
    Sterling
    MP5
    M16 lower
    1919 belt fed
    M249
    M240
    M2 50 cal
    RPD
    RPK
    DHsK 1938
    Barrett 50 cal
    Suppressors - many
    A bigger AHA and range
    Expensive optics
    A shop to work on the above
    A ford raptor with a AA pintle mount in the bed to mount the belt feds with a military M101A3 trailer for ammo
    Note - these are all things I don’t I’ll ever get. I will make do with what I have.

    Can't decide whether the better dumb, irrational idea would be a 9mm 1911 or one of these:

    Ruger No. 1 in 30-06.
    JM stamp Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70.
    Something chambered in 416 Ruger.

    And not irrational, but rationally tied to something other than usefulness: a Monson made Dan Wesson revolver. My folks grew up in Monson, and I spent a lot of childhood days--though not enough days--there with my grandparents.
