And in the end, the Davy Crockett system was a failure, only deployed from 1961 to 1971. With a nuclear warhead, firing it would have been a suicide mission for the crew, due to intense radiation exposure. (The blast effects were minimal compared to the radiation effects.) But if it had been used, the resulting escalation would have led to WW3 and the end of the world as we know it. (This is exactly why the Russians can't use tactical nukes in Ukraine. It would just take insanity to a new level.)in all seriousness, I bet that thing cost way more that $1Billion to develop and maintain
Ironically, a nuclear weapon (as an NFA "destructive device" and not a "machine gun") is not subject to the Hughes Amendment and is still legal with a $200 tax stamp -- if you can find one for sale. (Not a chance of that happening.)Wonder if it still a $200 stamp and 1 year waiting period?!?!?!
ok, I’ll play alone… I’ll buy $1 Billion in Ruger Stock, be a majority share holder and get them to bring back the .44 mag carbine

You better buy 100 Holland and Hollands. You’ll wear out one after 25 million shots.I would order a Holland and Holland custom fitted side by side. And $ 999, 900,000 worth of shotshells.
I've been accused of posting the dumbest thread ever (which I honestly didn't think was that stupid). This, however, COULD possibly be THE ONE, so let's just to get that out of the way. Please, I don't need anyone TELLING me this is the stupidest thread ever. You can think whatever you want...
.
Yes! lolI would not buy any guns, I would just pay some goons to take care of everyone that angered, they choose what they want.
I would buy allBeat me to it. If I had a billion dollars that could only be spent on firearms related, I would buy stock in several different firearms companies. In fact, I might buy stock in certain companies just so I could either make major changes from within or just shut their doors.
Alligator Skin or Mink coated .44 Carbine?With a Billion Dollar Budget I would travel the country looking for fine and unique pieces of history. Old Smith and Wesson, Colts, Winchesters, and Remingtons.
I would also buy many limited edition remakes of fine firearms.
I would stop buy THR members towns and cities take them out to lunch. And leave them with a new firearm to break in and enjoy.
When I got to Ruger country I would stop and see @Mark_Mark and have him make me one of them fancy Ruger 44mag carbines in a left handed model!!!!!
I probably posted the absolute STUPIDEST threads!!! but my memory is like a gold fishSo what was this supposed stupidest thread ever?
You have no idea! they have camera and face id Ai on every single inch. with your freedom gun drop, also drop a mini EMP device with each shipmentMy idea:
Buy as many small arms, ammunition and explosive kits as I could with a billion bucks.
Attach them to small balloons with drone motors set to fly at low altitude.
Launch them to float over the People’s Republic of China.
Drop the munitions so the average unhappy Chinese Joe can arm up.
Let the Communist Chinese Party (CCP) deal with some fun insurrections all over the mainland to keep them occupied for awhile.
Of course, this is just a silly scenario made up to generate a chuckle or two.
Stay tuned for more stupid ideas.
Add another $1,000,000 for some gucci guns, (should cover it, assuming 100 to 200 guns running around $5,000 to $10,000 each.)
Yeah, did some Googling and apparently there is a pair of 1911’s carved from a meteor that the supposed value is $4.5 million. I’d buy one. And there are lots of old collector guns with provenance to historical events or people that adds value for some people.I could spend cool mill on 4 or less guns. just sayin.
Thank you for the excellent advice, where do we buy mini EMP devices?You have no idea! they have camera and face id Ai on every single inch. with your freedom gun drop, also drop a mini EMP device with each shipment
I was speculating on how much it would cost to buy one of every new production gun. I think the meteor guns fit that bill, the Holland and Holland does as well, so I might have to add some money to my budget.
Best answer in this thread!ok, I’ll play alone… I’ll buy $1 Billion in Ruger Stock, be a majority share holder and get them to bring back the .44 mag carbine
