Affordable, how about something that shoots .22's....very affordable!
Too bad the American-180 isn't made any more, that in full auto would be so much fun!! [:D] |

Two questions come to mind--
1. What is "affordable" to you. 2. Will this be the only one, or first of many? Most common suggestion is the M-16 ($4500 on up) because of the interchangeability of uppers, calibers, etc. Next would be UZI's (Vector or RR conversions) just under $3000. You can get .45, .41AE and .22 conversions, and the mags aren't too bad price wise. Bargain guns--MAC's and Stemples run under $1500. AFARR |

If your going to do it, do it right.
I'ld either go M14, STG, or M16. Maybe, but not necessarily, in that order. Very affordable compared to a Ma duece or Mini. |

The first should be a M16. There are so many things you can do to this. Have a short barrel, 11" 14.5" etc. Put on a 9mm upper, 45 upper, 22lr upper. Very versatile.
American 180 is on my list of wants. They are awesome. :) 1919 too. |

M2, FN MAG58, M1917 or M1919, or a Vickers.

For a machinegun, M60 hands down. Submachinegun would have to be an FN P90. Or for the big boy, the M2 HB browning is the bomb.

Need more info....
What is affordable? If you have been saving 10 years for one of these an only have 6K than probably an American 180 because you won't be able to afford any ammo after purchasing. You will have to plan ahead, I will bet if you are like most people, after making your first purchase it won't be long before you look into making a second. Let us know what your attentions are... Purchase primarily as a collector piece? Purchase primarily as a shooter? What is your favorite caliber? Ask yourself, what gun makes you drool just by the sight of it? How much cash do you have for an item? Let us know and we will be happy to help. [:D] |

I would like two AM180s.
Get an M16 and then you have the .22 kit option with 30rd mags. Then you can shoot .223, 9mm and .22 |

A Machine Gun is normally a crew served weapon using rifle ammo. Make mine a Browning 1919A4 in .308.
A Submachine Gun is a man portable weapon using typically a pistol caliber ammo. Make mine an MP5ksd. |

The Uzi is a good start for the money. Just make sure you have a good conversion. The magazines are strong and dependable and really could last a lifetime or two. Parts are everywhere. They are simple and fun - and fairly accurate. I used to hunt jack-rabbits with mine. It's a good bang for your buck.
Or an M16-A1 if you can afford it. It's about twice as much as the Uzi. Rocking and rolling with an AR/M16XX isn't quite as much fun as with a subgun though, IMHO. |

[left]My first one would be a maxum; second would be a 1919 browning. these are good MG's, and good to learn gunnery skill's on without being a mechanic with it. thats why i WOULD NOT recommend a M60. most of them are rewelds.[/left]

An M2 Browning 50, or maybe a quad 50 like Dillon's would be kinda neat. Realisticly, an M16 with several caliber uppers. Sub guns are very cool, might have to add a dedicated sub like an Uzi for a total of two mg's. Until the bux materialize for the M2 anyway....

I would go with a UZI. They are cheap as far as MG's go and surplus ammo is also cheap.

If reality was somehow suspended, and I could own full-auto where I live (but still had to buy ammo). Not going to combat with any, but just for fun. Here is the order I would get (if I had any money):
1 - HK G36 2 - M249 SAW (Minimi) 3 - M60 4 - MP5 SD 5 - Armalite AR180 (or AR-18 Stoner) 6 - Thompson Model A-1 (Tommy Gun) 7 - BAR 8 - MP-40 9 - AK-47 (taken from Charlie) 10 - M16 All else being said, Ma Deuce would be on the top of my list. |

Obviously you want what will give you the most options. M16 and UZI are great for that as far as easy swapping of barrels and calibers. Shooting 9mm FA is cost effective and 22LR even more. Not to mention UZI's cycling rate is manageable and the M16 can be modified for slower rate. Parts are abundantly available. Whole IMI SMG kits can be had real cheap and will keep you rocking. IMO any MG ranks high on the coolness factor but the M16 UZI and Thompson are the coolest

OK, if we're talking wish lists:
