    Ultimate SHTF weapon package for $14K?

    Randomly came across this on GunBroker.com, had to share.....so pretty!



    The only thing missing is a pair of 5.11 cargo tactical cargo pants.

        It had better be a very short SHTF given the 10 round limit. I thought about buying one to round out my beltfed collection, but it's 17 years too late to pass the 100 round linked belt sniff test.

          I really don't see the point from a functionality standpoint.

          It is a semi-auto version of a LMG, except it fires from a closed bolt so you have the same heat issues as an AR. Us folks in CA are also limited to 10 round mags or 10 round links. Oh, and it weighs 20lbs empty with no optics.

          It is a very collectable firearm, and also has that "awesome" factor, but if you are looking for something functional then you may want to build a heavy barrel AR with two uppers you can swap between, and then spend the remaining $11k on a Humvee to go with your rifle.

            Not understanding the mark-ups on M249s. You can build the same set-up for less than $14k, KY Gun Co had the rifle alone on sale for $7k last week...



            The Hardigg/IM3300 Storm case is about $350 with custom foam, a new barrel is about $300-400, extra nutsacks and links, some tools and headspace gauges which leaves more than $5500+ for optics and an M9/92FS?

            Although I didn't get the one from KYGunCo, I got one a few weeks ago for a couple hundred more out of OK. They installed the munkeeboi gripfin for free including shipping so I didn't need a middleman (but I paid the tax at the FFL). I'm just waiting for someone to make a MK48 conversion that's compatible with the "s" model.

            I wish more people did a little research to avoid panic prices...



            yeah its a range "toy" for now but if we get into a SHTF situation (outside of home defense), that means society broke down and none of us will still be using 10 rounders, BBs or going featureless at that point and only trying to seek the greatest advantage...which is why I keep these in the stable as well.

              If you have a lot of money but a shortage of brain cells, it's a perfect SHTF investment.

                it's all for show, and about as useful as a semi auto BAR or M60

                yeah it may look impressive, but it's still just a semi auto with a unnecessary linked ammo belt, actually slower than an AR15 to load

                and you can only use 5 rd or 10 rd post ban mags, while trying to simulate automatic weapons fire by fanning the trigger to fire 5 - 10 rds, useless piece.

                  M249s and any LMG for that matter, are useless in CA. Give me a nice AR and 9+ mags and I'm good to go.

                      Semi auto saw is pointless. Unless it's open bolt and lets rounds fly until I let go of the trigger I'm not interested. I could spend $14k on multiple rifles to arm a squad with enough magazines and ammo. Cool mantle piece though.

                            For $14k I'd buy a large plot of desert in the Sinai with a house and get the real deal

                              Or you could use that money to move to another state /and/ buy a full auto there.

                              Or use that money to buy pretty much any CA legal semi-auto and a huge stack of ammo for it, and be way better prepared for the money.
