I initially thought this was a joke about doing a bank robbery with the boys but that gun actually sells for around 30k USD.

    Yeah, because they're all grandfather claused and legal to own submachine guns.

    Same goes for WW2 Browning M2s. I know a guy who does WW2 reenactments and a guy in his platoon has a working Jeep-mounted quad anti-air gun.

    (That historically didn't do shit for anti-air but having a working WW2 technical is still fucking awesome)

    And the shittier thing is that they kinda are valued as currency. Well, maybe "investment vehicles" is a better term. Only the rich own them and because they don't care about the poors, they're not going to let lawmakers dismantle the NFA to the point of removing the mg registry. If they did, their value would plummet overnight.

    Fun fact: For Halloween last year I was a gangster, and 3d printed model of one of these, modifying it by removing the stock, and making the magazine and fore-grip removable, so that it could fit into a vintage violin case I bought on ebay.

    Ten of those would win you an enemy position in 1944, arguably more valuable than a house under the circumstances. Commandoes called it the "meat grinder".

    Estimated 1.33 million active-duty troops in the USA armed forces, around 730,000 active LEOs (as of 2024), an unknown number of militias and affiliated partisans, PMC mercs, and freelance, so whatever the exchange rate is for that.
