I purchased a prostitute after watching porkies....but no guns

I allways wanted an M1A after watching FMJ but latter passed after shooting one since I liked the AR platform more.
Same goes for the PSG1 I saw in a couple of movies when I was younger only that was a price barrier not due to liking something else more.

I wouldn't say pop culture or TV makes me want to buy one but how often can you find a gun with your name?
If any one has one to part with, PM me!
Nope, but I do know how to cast pure silver bullets after wanting one from my younger years.
Dimes, Nickles & Quarters these days, aren't worth shit for casting unless your doing lead.

I grew up with the Sean Connery James Bond. I finally bought a PPK about 15 years ago. The guys I bought it from always have tables at the local gun shows, and still call me "The Double Naught Spy" whenever they see me.

Always dug the G3. Got a PTR immediately after I moved to a free state.

I want the guns they use that fires endless bullets without reloading. havent found one yet.
I was 16 when Serpico came out so the Browning Hi Power 9mm was the first gun I purchased and then Dirty Harry's Model 29 ,44 mag . Actually all of Clint Eastwoods westerns had interesting pistols and rifles that I won't mind having.
I bought a KSG when they were first released for stupid money because I wasn't sure if it would be banned in CO due to the 14 round built in "magazine". Turns out they're still legal here somehow. I assume it's because the tubes are not detachable magazines. I've had it for approx. 7 years and have never fired it. ?
You don't know what you're missing. I thought they we a bit of a gimmick at first, but run through a multi target stage with one and i gaurantee you will be grinning from ear to ear. Not super practical but fun as hell.
I want the full auto CZ Scorpion shown in the new Death Wish. Oh well, my suppressed SBR will have to suffice,
Ive shot the scorpion - fun and fast.
32 acp is not cheap and not exactly a common bulk Ammo to buy
I surprised that no one picked up a belt fed due to Black Hawk down or Rambo.

I ordered online drunk while I was in Florida delivery California just to see if I could! It is fun to fire kicks like a motherfuker!
"phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range". Haven't found it yet. *Snicker*
The movie Wind River made me buy a Marlin 1895 SBL .45-70. I knew it wasn't as powerful as the movie portrayed...until I got it. When sighting it in the first shot went through my paper target, hit the berm behind it and made a shortcut through the mountain to my neighbor's place.
Well, bought a Webley after seeing this.
Already had a Bren gun!

Part 2...
And when I saw this movie for the first time at about age 12... I wanted one of everything in it....

I have a couple Rossi 92s due to Westerns. One is .44 mag and I can only take about 4-5 rounds before I get recoil anticipation and a sore shoulder. So I went out and got a .357 version and can shoot it all day. ?

Wait... not one of you will admit to buying a Sharps after seeing Quigley Down Under?
I think some are holding back...

I bought a quigley-ford after reading a thread.
Got a Walker after watching Lonesome Dove and a Sharps after Quigley,,,lol
I bought a number 2 pencil after John wick!
I’m sure a few folks picked up lever guns after all the fun hickcock45 shows with them
Sure it helped skinner sights with sales too.
Beretta 92 after watching Lethal Weapon and Die Hard
Right? I was waiting for someone to say MP5 and M9 based on Die Hard.
I was into building FAL's before I saw "Wild Geese", but still watch this movie from time to time. My latest build:
ETA: Has anyone noticed the irony in this pic? I have here a paratrooper model with a folding buttstock. This is an Inch FAL with a folder, and the Commonwealth countries NEVER had such a model, only the metric FAL had a folding buttstock.

Nice Busse in the fence holding it up too. Love my TGs.
Thought the Sharps were a cute overrated idea until I rang baby buffalo sized steel at a Grand with one after a match and then I was in love.
.....and the Gargoyles, great lenses. Wore them for years, and they saved the vision of 2 friends in separate incidents.
The FAL. Always a classic.I was into building FAL's before I saw "Wild Geese", but still watch this movie from time to time. My latest build:
Just saw the thread. Bought one a year or so after seeing the movie. Cast my own bullets, but draw the line at using black powder. Too lazy to clean.
After watching “Attack Force Z” as a kid, I wanted a suppressed M3 grease gun. I’ve shot a lot of cool ass guns over the years. Everything from novelty pistols, to crew served weapons to rocket launchers. I’ve never had the opportunity to shoot an M3 grease gun & it’s still at the top of my list.
