Ok Im bored so here it goes, what would you do if you could pick any 10 guns and go back in a time machine to anyplace?

[Shaun]

what is the purpose go back in time and make purchases with todays money then -- or have then guns and go back? and for what purpose?

I'd take a Barret .50 cal and shoot Hitler.

10 AK-47's with a crap load of ammo and go back to the Alamo! Viva La AK-47!

Give those ten AKs to Sitting Bull, and sit back and watch the fun . . .

[Dennis]

how about 183 ak's at the Alamo
and 183 thousand rounds of ammunition.
all semi auto AK's too
what would the world be like?
if someone had developed something like the AK in the 1830's
the technology would have been converted to naval guns
and we would have had breech loading magazine fed 5 inch naval guns on iron clads
we could have ruled the world.
the entire world running on the energy that freedom creates
By now we would be burning water and eating that rainbow stew!!!!
well
lets hope.

Speaking of the Ironclads, here's a good site concerning the Civil War naval subjects.
http://www.civilwarhome.com/navalwar.htm
Dahlgren guns were, IIRC, breech-loaded rifled guns. All large caliber naval guns have always been "single-shots" - manually loaded for each shot. Even at the end of the Battleship Era - the Iowa-class ships still were loaded manually.

Imagine if Teddy and his Rough Riders had been equipped with the AK, instead of the then-obsolete Krags against the Spanish Mausers. That hill would've fallen all the more quickly.

Or perhaps the militia in Concord, facing the Brits with AKs in their hands. We'd have soon owned London.

I was thinking maybe some trophy hunting back when the dinos were around. A 50BMG, for sure!

[Shaun]

See I think it would be more fun to take my big f250 and 5 grand in cash drop back to the 1800 and buy large numbers of those toys for 10 and 12 bucks a piece -- then of course in the 1920's when Tommy guns were available for 14 bucks in hardware stores.

That's still a good idea for today and the future. :assult: :uzi:
Maybe if it had been done in the past we wouldn't be dealing with the invasion in this time.
