Dillon mini gun. No practical use, costs a fortune to buy and a fortune to shoot for any length of time.
I would also add:
Military AK47
Ma Deuce

Re: What rifle do you want irrationally?
I guess mine would be a Mini14...but not just ANY Mini-14. Nope, the exact model used by---THE A-TEAM. The Mini-14GB-F...stainless steel with folding stock and flash suppressor...just for the "cool factor". I already have a regular, modern Mini that is way more accurate than the A-Team/police models of old...but I always wanted one as a kid...it'd probably run me over a grand for the privilege of owning one, but its about irrationality, right?
