I suspect that 75% of the cost of a modern gun is the insurance.

In the wreckage of the Wonju police station I saw a Russian [I think] single shot bipod 50 cal. I believe it was an early anti-tank weapon. It looked remarkably like the 50 cal sniper rifle that is causing conniptions now among the anti-gun people. I would like to have one, but they sell for several thousand bucks, and the cartridges are about 5 bucks each. Hardly the tool for plinking.

Golly !  They must think that rifle is made of gold .
I have a black powder 50 cal cap an ball rifle and its a ball to shoot .
The captured chink guns that I saw in Korea were very crud workmanship.
