Question of the Day: What Firearms Would You Buy If You Won the $500m+ Lottery?

If a firearms enthusiast scores tonight’s Powerball jackpot they will have enough money to buy . . . just about anything. Saying that, I doubt New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg could run his Dassault [Weapon] Falcon, grab America’s guns and maintain the bodyguard-protected lifestyle to which he’s become accustomed on a mere $12.5m per year (.05% return on a $225m after-tax payout). And no matter how much money you have, civilians still can’t buy some of the best toys. Given the odds, I worry about hitting the lottery, getting bitten by a shark and struck by lightning on the same day. Provided I survived all that, I’m building me a room. Into which I’d place a SCAR 17, McMillan TAC-338, a VO Viking and something tasty from Volquartsen [above]. Amongst other things. You?

  1. Id grab that, not a fan of the magazines, but that is very nice. Looks like they took a Dragunov and fused it with that QBU-88(?) bullpup rifle.
