My first weapon was an M16A1 rifle, my second was a M1911A1 pistol, and my third was a M60 machinegun all within a relatively short period of time.
Eventually I received an M16A2, one with and one without a M203 grenade launcher, and an M9 pistol.
At times I also had a M1200 12 ga shotgun, a .38 cal revolver, a M24 sniper rifle, MP5 machinegun, a M3 machine gun, an M2 machinegun, and a M72 rocket launcher.
Also qualified on most of the German Army basic weapons and probably carried or fired some other stuff but can't remember!
Betcha can't guess where I got them?
Although I had shot other folks weapons (relatives, friends, etc), before the above but never OWNED any of my own. These were literally the first weapons I was assigned responsibility for and were for all intent and purposes MINE. And if you don't think they were YOURS, just try losing one! LOL!
