Re: Any Firearms Collectors?

Thought about buying a Sig Sauer or Colt 1911 .45 ACP a few years ago...

...but one visit to my local indoor range instilled enough respectful fear to avoid a purchase.

Coincidentally, I picked up a Armorer Works M712 DL-44 airsoft pistol on my 43rd birthday:

Based on the fully automatic "Schnellfeuer" variant of the Broomhandle Mauser, and very close to what Harrison Ford used in The Force Awakens. It is a lot of fun to plink away and 'shoot first' at paper targets in my office.

Here's the real deal in action, an M712 chambered for 7.63mm

And a couple C96 Mausers mocked up like DL-44s:
