Found this really small channel but they have great production quality.

I’ve always wanted to hold one of these. Don’t even have to fire it, just holding one would be cool. (I’d want to fire it, too, tho)
You can get them in the US, but they are semi auto and have a comically longer barrel.
Basically, you can get wonky P90 at home:
Also, 5.7 x 28 ammo is stupidly expensive.

I probably wouldn’t even be able to afford the gun lol
True lol.
I think the PS90 is about 1500 new, which will be more with taxes and fees and waiting times.
Its only a grand and a half for your goofy space gun rofl!
Huh. I figured much more. That’s actually cheaper than the handgun I want with all the accessories (I want the pistol Snake has in MGS1). Last time I looked, just the gun was nearly $1200.
Best of luck with getting the LAM for it. I wouldn’t be shocked if you had to pay 5k+ in total for something like that. Since Snake used a prototype laser aiming module for some reason, your path won’t be an easy one.
The Mark 23 ‘SOCOM’?
Yeah I am seeing prices of between 2200 to 2700 for a new one of those, depending on specific finishes and grips and whatnot.
Probably about another grand for the suppressor, if theyre legal in your state.
Gunbroker barely even has any, one or two are cheaper than that but not by much, many are much more expensive (4 to 5k) collector bundles.
Yeah, you can get an actual semi auto rifle, a pretty nice one, for 2200 to 2700.
I am pretty sure the SOCOM is absurdly expensive because… its HK, its quite popular amongst military history afficionados, and its been in several games and movies rather prominently.
I was gonna post this earlier, but yeah the gun market is currently quite odd right now in that there are many, many popular pistols that are literally as or more expensive than roughly equally popular semi auto rifles.
I think a Bren 2, new, is currently cheaper than a new Mark 23, at about 2000.
Here is Cabelas for the Mk 23 (HK doesnt directly sell anything but parts):

$2500
And here is a Bren 2 from CZ:

$2000
Not sure when you last checked prices on a Mk23 for it to be only 1200 lol.
Or perhaps either you or I have a different Solid Snake pistol in mind?
To be fair to the P90, $1500 isn’t unreasonable for a new semi auto rifle (especially one that lacks the AR’s economy of scale).
But to be even more fair, it is a lot for something with a clamshell plastic design.
It is also unfortunately not really a rifle caliber… Its quite an odd duck.
You could get a semi decent actual semi auto rifle for that price, or a cheaper AR styled pistol chambered in .22.
Ive actually seen a good number of vids that show that .22 (magnum) actually has pretty comparable ballistics and penetration to the much more expensive and often low in stock 5.7x28.
I am not personally aware of a ‘tactical’ style weapon in .22 magnum with large ammo capacity, but I am sure something like that exists.
The two dummy cartridges at the end of the magazine for the push I found to be an interesting design choice. Does anyone know of another magazine that uses a system like that? I’m also a little curious how easy it is to hand bomb rounds into the magazine.
Drum magazines need them to feed rounds into the ‘tower’ that mates with the receiver, and quad/casket magazines also feature faux rounds for feeding too.
For conventional magazines I don’t know of any value gained versus a normal follower - nor can I think of any examples.
Otherwise Sterling comes to mind though that’s a fixed follower with rollers.
