I think The Machine Guns and the Jerry Cans would cost more than the Jeep

So what are your plans? From experience now, a gas fire .50 with all the gas connections, hoses, etc and mount would probably cost you around $3500. Jerry cans around $20 each for German style ones like that. (US style cans weren't in theatre that early in the war) The Vickers K guns or similar Lewis guns would be an entirely different matter. Just finding those and then finding some that are California legal is going to cost you plenty.

Check this out though. Looks like a Bren gun and it's semi auto.

Now check this site out. It's in Texas they make LMG's that are semi auto only.

Uh... good luck with that one, can't help you there. Tell him you won't go to college and he can save all that cash.
