Re: Considering a "fun gun"

I think if I were shopping for what I might define as a "fun gun," I'd probably look to a SIG 522. As markthenewf noted, .22LR is one of the few calibers you can still use to plink to your heart's content without breaking the bank.

If you don't have one, another consideration would be a Kalashnikov. Prices are going to be insane, though, if you can find one. But the 7.62x39 round is both practical and, since the AKs are more than happy to shoot steel-cased ammo, is likely to stay less expensive than 5.56.

I suppose, bottom line, for me, is that a "fun gun" should be inexpensive to feed. And ammo prices have done nothing but go up the past decade. Even after the current panic buying is over, I strongly doubt prices will drop all the way back to November 2012 levels. I've joked that if I'd had a crystal ball, early this century I would have taken my 401(k) and used it to buy up ammo. Just imagine the rate of return...
