And it's a good color too. Don't want to be confusing any SWAT teams there!My four-year-old son happened to be nearby and saw this thread. Like any red-blooded owner of firearms, he wanted to showcase his collection:

His favorite is the AR-15 in the middle. And his ammunition costs are nil as he never has to reload the magazine.

Get him doing some dime drills! The best practice is dryfire, and it’s free!My four-year-old son happened to be nearby and saw this thread. Like any red-blooded owner of firearms, he wanted to showcase his collection:

The guns at Fort Casey were originally in the defenses of Subic Bay and brought to the United States in the 1960s.
Many of the guns of the abandoned defenses of Manila and Subic Bays were destroyed by scrappers but many are still in place.

This six pounder is from the Battleship Maine and stands on the SC Statehouse grounds to commemorate the Spanish American War. Nearby is a monument to the yellow fever human guinea pigs from SC. That war was not one of our better ones.

A 10" mortar shell fired from Fort Johnson at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861 may have been the culprit that got my state into some serious trouble. Who fired the first shot is widely debated and the headstones of many South Carolinians proudly claim that honor. Some say Citadel Cadets fired at Fort Sumter even earlier.
PGT Beauregard ordered the bombardment of Fort Sumter commanded by Maj. Robert Anderson. In a twist of fate when Beauregard attended West Point, Anderson had been his artillery instructor and close friend.

Something I could actually hold, here are a couple Zastava AKM pattern rifles. Zastava was Yugoslavian and some of the best made AKMs. They are in Serbia now -

Zastava M92 from parts kit. 10 years back the kits were around for $100. On Gunbroker now $1100 gets a kit without a barrel -
Zastava M95 (.223) from parts kit. Very few imported, they were ~$250 a decade back. Can't even find one for sale now, last one I saw was $1500. Kit as in unbuilt -

Before my unit transitioned to Hawks we trained on the M42 Duster at Fort Bliss, Texas. Those twin 40mm cannons would fire as fast as you could feed them. We had two ammo humpers ( one per side ) dropping 4 round clips into the loader. Sometimes you might have a double feed with two rounds simultaneously jamming the breach. They called it a "cook off" as the heat alone could detonate the round. And when some one yelled "cook off" you got the hell out of there.
Dusters were used in Nam but not for convoy air defense but for anti-personnel.
