    Go ahead.

    Me, i collect military surplus gear from the cold war era. I specialize in kalashnikov rifles and their accessories. Here's my collection of AK bayonets.

    [​IMG]

    It grows at a rate of roughly 1 bayonet / month. There are over 100 different variants, so i'm nowhere near done yet.

    Don't worry, it's much easier than trying to collect supressors(Have a friend who does that, quite suspicious).

    My dad currently has a decent Pioneer Elite Collection going on...

    2 Elite plasmas and an Elite Reciever.

    And then we have that Rotel...

    AV Equipment comes buy at an astronomical rate here. I'll probably post up all the Dell W2xxx series monitors once I get a chance, we have almost every single one(W2300, W2600, W2606, W2607, W2606C..)

    Ah, snap! I wouldn't touch anything that's commercially produced. There are infinite numbers of variants, impossible to collect.

    Well My friend was only collecting .45ACP supressors for his AMT Hardballer and his Colt .45.

    It's quite hard to find since suppressors aren't exactly looked up upon.

    Speaking of which have you ever seen the VSSK-1? That Sniper Rifle with the HUGE Suppressor?

    Well that narrows it down a bit i guess.

    I see your VSSK and raise it with a supressed GPMG.

    (AEK-999)

    Russians seem to be pretty good at supressing stuff.

    It's not really that difficult, let's be honest.

    My things are a bit more mundane.

    I collect pedal cars,

    Lots and lots of glass bottles.

    [​IMG]

    I make tiny terrariums for another forum in the little bottles to grow like moss and tiny mushrooms. An oven light bulb terrarium:

    Nerf guns - about 20,

    I just started collecting really old toys from when I was a kid. An erector set from the 1950s.

    Erector sets were before Mechana or whatever it's called. In the 1950s toys were metal and wood like Lincoln Logs and metal Tonka trucks.


    I'll be back with some pics of my Troll family.

    I love how names like that used to be possible. Now theyde just get sued by some redneck single mom who says her 9 year old kid learned the world erect and got his 12 year old girlfriend pregnant. What happened to good ol' suggestive brand names that children didnt understand untill they were too old to play with them?

    I collect various things, but not many particularly seriously.
    Most notably (and expensively), i collect Guitars.
    Got 5 so far (1 Classical hand made, 1 1973-built Hollow body, 2 Electric 6-strings and a Bass), all of which i shall have to take pics of at some time, some of which need a good bit of work before they are really properly playable again (Machine heads, Nut, Bridge, Wiring, Pots, pickups on the one, fretwire, etc)

    Steyr AUG is win. And who the hell uses a gas mask in an Airsoft fight? I mean it's not like everyone buys smoke grenades.

    I saw a bullet collection once...

    O_O @ those giant rhino bullets......71 Caliber??? It's like injecting a spoon + Fork into someone and having it go faster than sound.
