my local American Legion has a pretty baller museum stuffed full of weapons and artifacts, I've been to war museums all over the world but this one is pretty special in its own right.

The best part was the 'hometown heroes' section, which had things and items from local soldiers. They weren't really 'of note,' but it really helps make it stick that regular people, from the Civil War to today are a big part of it.

I asked him what item had an interesting history, and he showed me a small case that had a very small item inside. He said, "Not many of these came back from Europe after the war." It took me forever to read the writing, but eventually I read, "prophylactic."

We had a good laugh after that. He also showed me an M1 Carbine that was used against US forces in Vietnam (most likely sold to them by South Vietnamese soldiers).

Where in NJ are you from OP? There are a handful of hasgun NJfags around. If you are lucky, maybe one of them may take you shooting sometime.

>>33021210
What school/museum? I'm in NY too so maybe I'll make a trip to check it out

Does RITchie the Tiger mean anything to you?

>>33021980
I know that's the RIT mascot, but I go to U of R.

Good for you OP. If you were closer to Syracuse and not from /k/ I'd invite you shooting with me. If you get the chance Rochester has some cool abandoned subway tunnels that are fun to explore.

>If you were closer to Syracuse and not from /k/

I understand. I like all you fuckers, but I'm afraid of meeting the one guy who'd go, "Oh, you know 4chan too!"

Shoulda opted to hold that sweet MG34 behind you instead of the Springfield OP

It was a casted replica. Yes my disappointment was the same as yours is now.

The MP40 was interesting, it was a 1960s Japanese made toy that fired wooden bullets. Apparently a lot of the parts are interchangeable with a real one (but it's made of pot iron so you'd probably die if you tried to make it fire able).

Heyo! Hasguns NJer (from the Atlantic city area) here.

You seem like an outstanding, willing to learn /k/ommando. All I have is a customized Beretta 92A1 but drop me a line if you ever want to give it a whirl.

So.... what you're saying is that there is something worth visiting New York for?

Thanks, I'll certainly hold onto it. I actually have a few friends up hear that want to teach me on their nuggets.

I guess if I'm gonna start, better start with a broken shoulder.

NYC has it's time and places for me, but so does upstate. It's pretty cool. Every time I've driven to visit a nearby town, I got through a weird mix of suburbs and farmland I'd never dream of seeing anywhere in NJ (at least my extremely dense area).

There's a few places here I'd just fuck off to if I ever needed to.
