What is the most expensive gun you have ever seen. Mine was a m14 full auto UISGI .308 for a whopping price tag of. 45,000 dollars.
A full broadside actually moves the ship 1-3 feet in the opposite direction depending on conditions.Wondering what it feels like being onboard when those guns go off broadside..Does it push the ship violently?

I love the way lugers look.Its got to be the only remaining origional P-08 in .45 acp for a million smackers.

Probably one of the 16" guns on the USS New Jersey. They fire a 2,200 pound projectile 28 miles and there are 9 of them on each Iowa class battleship. I was on R&R in Hawaii when the New Jersey pulled in to Pearl Harbor on her way over to Nam. They had an open house and we got to tour the ship.
During the First Gulf War, my oldest son was aboard the USS Wisconsin operating the radar for the 16" guns. He sent me a photo taken at dusk at the Wisconsin fired all 9 guns brdadside. Great photo. (look at the shock waves on the surface)
Knob creek last spring, saw a M249 Saw for $89,000. Yes I drooled.
My step-grandfather was on the Coral Sea in Vietnam (medic) and told me once that when all those guns fire the ship moves something like 10 feet in the opposite direction that the guns are pointed.
