Lets hit the pause button on SWINE FLU, Gov. run health care, IRAN ect and just have some FUN ! What Weapons and gear would Mack Bolan use today? Have fun and show your creativity !

Still the Automag and the Beretta 93R.
Why jack with perfection? What would Carl Lyons carry? Edit to answer my own question... Carl would probably replace his Atchisson with a Happy Switch Saiga-12. He really loved that Python, though. I think he might STILL carry the Python. Stay classy, Carl. |
I wish some of the assholes who are responsible for that being written would try that shit on before they include it in a book. I read that shit while I was in Junior High and in my freshman year. I picked one up while flying to Vegas for the SHOT SHOW in 04. My first thought was, how the fuck does anyone carry all that shit and still consider themselves concealed.

Don Pendleton was a decorated Veteran of the fucking Battle of Iwo Jima there, Killer. I'm sure your experience at SHOT was more realistic. |

Wow, what a blast from the past. I friggin' loved those books as a child. Actually I think I preferred Phoenix Force the most, then Able Team, and the solo Bolan books the least.
I think they had one or two books with all three franchises involved. Stony Man Doctrine? Probably my fave solo Mac Bolan book was the one where the terrorists had the distinct misfortune of hijacking the plane that Mr. Bolan was on. 
Ridiculous, cliched characters and predictable plots but sooo much fun. |

A Gibson Les Paul and a Marshall half stack....maybe a HiWatt or a Voxx. For special gigs he could pull out the Gibson Flying V or Fender Strat. http://www.rocksbackpages.com/furniture/artists/bolan_marc.jpg Oh...wait...you said MAC Bolan...... Nevermind.  LOL! |

Quoted:
Used to read them back in High School, always questioned his use of .444 lever guns as a sniper rifle. A good read for study hall.That's about when I started reading them. Of course now adays you'd probably get suspended if seen reading one....even without a trench coat ! |

Since then the books have been written by contract writers, including (according to the allegations) at least one writer whose articles you may have read in a gun rag. |

My current readng material... I found some I haven't read for 25 cents each. The Survivalist Series by Jerry Ahern The Guardians Series by Richard Austin I came across a stash of The Survivalist and even dug up a copy of CASCA at a used book store about 8 years ago. |

Wow, blast from the past. Arfcom suddenly makes sense, bunch of guys who read Mac Bolan books as kids. When I was in the Army there was a kid- Stephen J. Traylor (WHY would I remember his name after all these years, he wasn't even in my platoon?) who read these all the time. He was a habitual screw up. When we went to the field you could find him operating the honey wagon. 
I haven't thought of those books in decades. |
|
Quoted: ... The Guardians Series by Richard Austin... Loved those as a kid, even more than the Bolan books. ... and preferred the Murphy/Sapir Destroyer series (Remo Williams & Chiun  ) to all of the others (as cheesy as they admittedly were). Sadly, they went to pot once the writing was franchised out (as it sounds like the Bolan books may have, from comments above). |

Ha! this is great. I just cleaned out an old bedroom and found all my Mack Bolon books (got a couple of Zerox copy paper boxes full) and it got me thinking.
My friends and I used to love these things back in High school. Man I always wanted an AutoMag... maybe someday... |

... The Guardians Series by Richard Austin... Loved those as a kid, even more than the Bolan books. Same here. I actually reread that series over the summer. Good stuff! Mack Bolan was actually a bonding opportunity for me and my Dad. I really didn't see him much as an early teen since he worked so much. But one day he saw me reading one of the New War books. When he realized it was Mack Bolan, he dug out his collection of Mafia War books that he read while on deployments in the Navy.  Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Bolan would carry a Glock18 and maybe a DE50 (or 44)
He was never that particular about a long arm but I would say his most frequent would be a M4 with the business and an M203. If it was still the same guy Lyons, just aged he would still carry the Python, as it went back to his police days. If he was a modern version of Lyons it would be an modern auto in 45. His long arm would be an AA12 |

Things I remember offhand from those books.
An M3 Grease gun converted to 9mm. (No, I don't know why) .444 Mag sniper rifles. The 93R and 15 spare mags carried concealed. The Automag (also carried concealed and used to destroy vehicles.) A .375 h&H sniper rifle. A motor home that carried three times it's weight in explosives and ammo.
Lots of boobies. Steel buckshot in a full-auto shotgun (that may have been Able team) |
