And the Fairchild C-82 looks even uglier with the replay.

Karl's post got me thinking about how many WW2 weapons I've fired live, and so far, I can recall the following :-
SMLE
Lee Enfield No4
Lee Enfield No5 carbine
Bren
Sten
Browning HP35 pistol
Springfield P.14
Mauser KAR 98K
MP40
MG3 (modern version of MG42)
Walther P.38
Walther PP
Walther PPK
Garrand M1
M1 Carbine
Browning .30 cal MG
Browning M2 .50 cal MG
Colt 1911 pistol
I know there'll be more, including "bigger" weapons such as AT systems and mortars, but can't recall when, so haven't included them.

Ah, but how many have you owned?

Not many - the Lee Enfield No.4 and No.5, and the Walther P.38, and that was a tad over 40 years ago. Gun laws in the UK have always been very stringent, and stricter changes at that time (including storage requirements), meant I had to divest myself of firearms.
Since then, I have been able to use various live weapons (WW2 and modern), due to involvement in military-themed activities, and, off course, those weapons previously mentioned in my original post were used during my military service.
In the UK today, it's almost impossible to even legally own a blank-firing replica, or a de-activated weapon (which are mainly harmless - unless illegally doctored to fire live ammo).
But, bizarrely, it's legal to own a CO2 powered pistol or semi-auto assault rifle, if over 18 years of age, all of which could cause severe injury, or even a potentially fatality.
Minimum punishment for owning / possessing illegal weapons in the UK is a large financial fine, and a five year jail sentence.
