millions.

Yeah I agree. Those BARs and Thompsons are classic. Not to mention the Sturmgehvers and the Stens, and the Grease Guns, and the Russian MGs and the Maxim MGs and the .30s and the .50s and the FN-Fal.

I'm surprised that some of you on here seem to really be into guns stuff.

Guess there must be lots of people out there interested in appreciating and collecting guns.

That one is a million times better.

That gun collection is going to hold it's value a hell of a lot better, though... plus a home theater system isn't going to save you from either the Zombies OR those evil Canadian invaders from the north :)

That's definitely not a man cave, but instead a vault to protect a very valuable collection. Still cool.

I was too.

This is better. What's lining the ceiling with the BARs? It looks like 10/.22 Long Rifles, but those seem too...lacking to be up there. What about some STG44s?!

This reminds me of another gun room I've seen online (which I think I was also linked to on this forum) that was just as crazy in a more modern way - the guy had literally thousands of modern military rifles, shotguns and pistols. If memory serves it was in Illinois - does that ring a bell for anyone? It's possible it was in fact this same house, just showing other rooms in the same basement.

And that collection was worth way more than $1 million. Many of those guns probably cost hundreds of thousands to millions. He had a Vickers machine gun and a FG42. Those were only issued to the Fallschirmjagers (elite german troops) during WW2.

(1) What does he do for a living?
(2) Are they hiring?

I think I need to do whatever it is he (I assume it's a he) doing for a living so I can buy toys like that.

They look like m1 carbines to me.

My brothers friend has a cache not quite that big, but he has 40+ rifles, and he has an almost complete collection of almost every video game ever made. 5000+ games for every system under the sun.

same here. I've seen too many things on the intarweb to not link the phrase "man cave" to something blindingly disturbing.

that is pretty cool though. rich guy obviously.

If I'm not mistaken I see at least one STG44 on the wall.

I think I died and went to a fucking heaven designed by John Moses Browning. :Q
