Any GURPS Cliffhangers Player Could Have Told You

 

 

The Colt R75 Monitor, a variant of the BAR, was first offered for sale in 1925.

All you needed was money.  No background check.  No waiting period.  No tax stamp.

Just plunk down your cash on the counter and head home to bankrupt yourself buying .30-06 to feed it.

Did I say counter?

Mailing a check to Colt could get you one delivered by the Post Office in six to eight weeks!

  1. The Thompson SMG was advertised as a pest control device for farmers and ranchers.

    You could buy modern breech-loading cannon if you had the scratch. If it was available, Bannerman probably had it until WWII.

  2. Funny that. I have my father in law's Colt 1945 original cardboard shipping box from Anniston Armory, dated 1962, shipped USPS direct to his home in KS. No fuss, no muss, no forms, send a check, get the item. This is as it should be for ALL weapons. This inability of certain folks to understand the phrase "shall not be infringed" is quite bothersome and certainly infringes in spades.
