Good thing it weren't me.

I might have been tempted to just along and.... "Only thing I saw was empty boxes!"

I was transporting them off the island to take to the authorities and my boat sank.

Back in the day if something was delivered to your house unordered you were legally allowed to keep them.

I dont' think the ATF is gonna go for that but they should at least get a substantial sum for the reduction in value to their wholesale purchase.

Big surge in surplus gun crate purchases about to happen.

I'm buying one of the bigger boxes just in case they left an M1 Tank or A-10 in one of them.

A-10 is worthless to me 'cause I can't fly. But a GAU-8 or two would be nice for home defense.

I can't either but, if I found an A10 in the Christmas Stocking, that's not gonna stop me from tryin!

A 7.62 x 51 minigun is handier, and much less expensive to feed.
GE did make a .50 BMG version, too, as well as a 12 gauge.

Yes please. I'll take one of those.

Modern day grape-shot?

Gotta repel boarders.

The guide at the GE Armaments' museum attached to their factory said they were built for river patrol boats in Vietnam. Showed us a 40 mm grenade launcher version, too.

When I was a cadet at Norwich in Vermont, the GE Armament factory in Burlington was an annual field trip.

He showed us one unsuccessful prototype, a 3 barrel 105 mm. One of only 2 made, the other blew apart the first time it was fired.

BTW, Mike Dillon of Dillon Reloading Products owns the patent for the 7.62 Minigun now.

That would be flechette rounds for the main gun of the M-1 Abrams.

When I was in college in the late-70's, remember an ad in the back of SOF magazine advertising crated WW2 light tanks, M-5 Stuarts as I recall.
