The Kar98k is a very accurate rifle, capable of long shots over 800 yards, because of this it was a very popular sniper rifle, usually equipped with a Zeiss scope. approximately 14,650,000 were produced over the 9 year time frame. even though so many were built, todays prices on this gun has increased rapidly do to its collectors value. It is a must have for any WW2 weapons collector. The most sought after of them all are the made in Germany, with SS or other stampings on it. this can reach up to $1000 easily. in the early 1990s you could buy on for around $100-200, now for a good one made in Germany you are looking at around $400-1400, depending on quality, matching serial numbers, and stampings. There is a sight that says they have original Kar98K for sale, but dont be tricked by Mitchell's Mausers. Claiming to have found these is Russian warehouses, only the top ones do. most are refurbished remakes of the Kar98k. So if planning on buying one of these great rifles, be sure to do as much research on it as possible and ask questions.

HK USP Elite

The Heckler & Kock USP Elite is one of the biggest pistols on the market. This is one of my all time favorite 45s. it is a well built, accurate gun. The Elite features one of the longest barrels in a pistol! 6.2 inches! where you would usually find 5 as the max barrel length on most full sizes. Because it has such a long barrel the bullet can increase velocity and become more accurate. USP "Universal Self-loading Pistol"

Manufacturer: Heckler & Kock 
Country: Germany
Cartridge: 45. ACP
Capacity: 10-12
Action: Double Action
Effective Range: 30m

Length: 9.4 in
Barrel Length: 6.2 in

This is one force to be reckoned with, seen guys taking 100 yard shots with it and being accurate. plus you have that .45 round, so your toast if hit. If your looking for the bigger stick this is it. its the modern Dirty Harry gun! not the M29 44mag anymore. 
Cost can range from $1200-1800 depending on where you buy it. But if your wanting quality this is it!

Bullpup refers to the magazine feed being behind the trigger, this allows the gun to be shorter and more compact without having to shorten the barrel.

The STG 77 was designed to be the main battle rifle for the Austrian Army, since 1979 many other countries have adopted it into their police and military forces.
Ambidextrous Rifle, and features interchangeable barrels that can be quickly switched out without breaking the gun down.

It is implemented with a 2-stage trigger, pulling it half way causes it to fire semi-automatically, pulling it all the way causes full auto fire.
The barrel features a 6 right-hand grooves and a rifling twist rate of 288mm (1:9).
This gun was made famous to the younger crowd do to the Call of Duty Franchise, which uses this gun in its Modern Warfare series.

The Steyr AUG is a excellent battle rifle, as well as a fun civilian semi-auto shooter, although illegal in California do to overall length, it can still be purchased in most states.
I love this gun because of its look, its long service life and simplicity of shooting. It is capable of almost all attachments.

The G-36 is a gas operated selective fire 5.56x45mm assault rifle designed by HK in the early 1990's.
Unlike most assault rifles the G-36 has a free floating barrel (does not make contact with the hand-guard). the G-36 has a Chrome-lined bore with 6 right hand grooves and a 1 in 178mm (1:7) rifling twist rate. This mean that the bullet does a full rotation in the barrel every 7 inches. The G36 has a rate of fire of 750 rounds per minute.

This gun is banned by California law, but is available in most states.
The G36 is a fun shooter, plus one of my personal favorites do to its distinct design, low recoil, built in sights, and just the beauty of it.

The G36 attachments include: Scope, grenade launcher, bayonet, flashlight, laser, fore-grip, silencer, and any type of top sight.

Currently there are 8 variations of this rifle
the most popular ones being the G36 (Standard), G36C (compact), MG36 ( machine gun),
