    I want a Walther PPK. With a delivery like a plate glass window. I hear the American CIA swear by them.

    But seriously, I do want one.

    What are they like to shoot? Is a .32 worth anything in a SD situation (sorry if this is a dumb question.)

    And do they get hot like a P7M8 after a box or two of ammo?

    I’m kind of hoping you guys can talk me off the ledge here.

    We covered this ground in this very thread, starting at post #180.

    I want a American-180 in .22 LR. About the only transferable MG that I would use on a regular basis.

    I got to fire one years ago, and it was a blast, literally and figuratively. At the time, I was not able to afford the purchase, being in the midst of raising a family. Now that I can afford one, I am constantly being distracted by other interests.

    I remember watching it in the theatre and my only desire was the lovely Mary Ure.

    I'm now jonesing for a PTR-91 .308 pistol with a brace.

    Please tell me I'm an idiot.

    I've been jonesing for a G3K clone since I first saw pictures of one on HKPro back in like 2000ish.

    Similarly, if I hit Powerball, I'd immediately hunt down one of the handful of transferable FJ Vollmer HK51-B's that Fred Vollmer built with HK21E parts. An MP5 sized 7.62 NATO belt fed machine gun with quick change barrels is exactly my kind of flame-throwing crazy range toy.

    So...we are idiots.

    Okay, you're an idiot I have a PTR-91 and there is no way I would want it any louder or blast even more.

    That's just good common sense. It's a big country. Travel is fun. Wear out some tires. Michelin will make more.
