Full auto choice

For reasons of practicality, the Thompsons leaves a lot to be desired. Granted, it has a fast cyclic rate of fire, but it is STILL a pistol cartridge. It has neither the speed or range to be a decently effective weapon beyond 100-150 ft. :rolleyes:
On the other hand, AK clones using the 7.62x39 cartridge have a higher powered round with better ballistics and at least double the range of the Thompsons. :)
As it is a "man-carried" weapon, it has advantages of mobility over heavy machine guns like the Ma Duece, or some kind of Gatling gun.
It's also a LOT less expensive so you can buy more ammo. :D
 
I would go with a silenced rpb mac-10. Seems like it would be a fun full auto gun that you could do a lot with accessory wise. :) Also, no one has mentioned it thus far.
 
AK103K:
It's my impression that the military version of the HK Sporter C-93 (5.56/.223)...G 41?..has about the same muzzle rise as the M-16/M-4 during rapid semi-auto use.

It appears that Century Arms (as almost always with foreign semi-autos:() is the only importer/assembler of the C-93 in .223.
I'll never consider their guns, unless it is a bolt-action. Century's "colorful feedback";) on various boards is the reason I decided against any CETME etc.
 
Theres always the original HK's, although you'll pay a premium for them these days.

They are also available as registered machine guns, or with registered select fire "trigger packs" that can be swapped from gun to gun.

I never had any bad luck with the couple of Century guns Ive owned. I still have my old SAR1 and WASR10, with their CAI's scrawling on them. The SAR1 wasnt pretty out of the box, the WASR was much better, and both shoot just as good as my Krebs Saiga conversion that was twice the price.
 
In truth, it may not be the most american answer, it may not even be considered the greatest, but I would have to go with the soviet "PKM" 7.62x54Rmm machine gun. Why? Fully auto, lots's of fun and cheap surplus ammo add's that to the even more fun list. Second choice if I had it an H&K MP5 .9x19mm. .9mm's are always fun to shoot and the ammo $ is reasonable.
 
Torn between a Steyr AUG and an AK-47. Would probably end up going for the legendary AK-47 in the end.
 
If I wasn't such a fan of .45ACP I'd say a BAR but since I do love the 45's I'll go with a Thompson with stick magazines.
 
It's a toss up for me, either a PPSH and as many 72 round drums as I could get, or an RPD. They've both got that ugly/brutal/effective look that I like about the Soviet hardware. Sadly, the RPD might actually be cheaper to shoot. :scrutiny:
 
AK103K:
To contradict myself, I would consider a semi-auto assembled by Century if I knew the owner and could try out the rifle a few times.
Their more recent products seem to be much better than those from years ago.

Why are bolts 'ground'? Is this done to allow them to fit into a specific action?
