    Huh. I figured much more. That’s actually cheaper than the handgun I want with all the accessories (I want the pistol Snake has in MGS1). Last time I looked, just the gun was nearly $1200.

      Best of luck with getting the LAM for it. I wouldn’t be shocked if you had to pay 5k+ in total for something like that. Since Snake used a prototype laser aiming module for some reason, your path won’t be an easy one.

      The Mark 23 ‘SOCOM’?

      Yeah I am seeing prices of between 2200 to 2700 for a new one of those, depending on specific finishes and grips and whatnot.

      Probably about another grand for the suppressor, if theyre legal in your state.

      Gunbroker barely even has any, one or two are cheaper than that but not by much, many are much more expensive (4 to 5k) collector bundles.

      Yeah, you can get an actual semi auto rifle, a pretty nice one, for 2200 to 2700.

      I am pretty sure the SOCOM is absurdly expensive because… its HK, its quite popular amongst military history afficionados, and its been in several games and movies rather prominently.

      I was gonna post this earlier, but yeah the gun market is currently quite odd right now in that there are many, many popular pistols that are literally as or more expensive than roughly equally popular semi auto rifles.

      I think a Bren 2, new, is currently cheaper than a new Mark 23, at about 2000.

      Here is Cabelas for the Mk 23 (HK doesnt directly sell anything but parts):

      https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/hk-mark-23-semi-auto-pistol

      $2500

      And here is a Bren 2 from CZ:

      https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-bren-2-ms-carbine/

      $2000

      Not sure when you last checked prices on a Mk23 for it to be only 1200 lol.

      Or perhaps either you or I have a different Solid Snake pistol in mind?
