A real man's machine gun

And what exactly is the penalty for illegal ownership of this type of weapon?

Nothing if they don't catch you

But whatever your good lawyer can beat them down to. (dunno the penalty, I'll have to wait until i can look up "the book" ):confused2

I imagine at the very least you would lose your licence and be subject to regular checks in the future. Not to mention it would make it extremely hard to get your licence back.

Probably as difficult as if an ex partner presented an affadavit to family court saying you were a dangerous man.

A mate of mine went through a marriage and his soon to be EX did the dirty on him about his guns.The local cops took the lot and it was twelve months before he could apply to have them returned.
He got them back, but what a drama.
A C catagore gun can be fired under police supervison but the paperwork is unreal.I have a Marlin m70 .22 that has a tube mag an takes up to 17 rounds.I shoot at the local club alongside several policemen,nobody has ever said a thing about it but I'm pretty sure it's a no no now days.
Some things are banned because they LOOK scary.

You sais a mouthful there! I can't see why a 5-shot .22 semi-auto with a pistol-grip is treated as a MSSA and needs a special licence but a 15 shot 'normal' looking semi-auto is 'just' a .22

Because logic and common sense are not pre-requisites for our esteemed legislators????

Legally anyway. Didn't stop Jorgenson and some mates using an (illegally owned) Reisling SMG in Basset Road all those years ago...
C class means you can own them (with police approval and various fine print), but aren't allowed to shoot them (buggerit)
BTW, prior to 1920, if you could afford to buy one and feed it, you could have whatever pistols or machineguns you wanted. The law was changed (in the UK and we followed) because of fears of a Bolshiviek uprising, as per Russia, as there were a lot of well pissed off ex-servicemen after WW1. Crime has nothing to do with it.

Sorry to be a pedant, it's Reising, Reisling is a particularly nice wine.
If MG42's are a bit scarce, get an M60. It's basically the same ,but with a lower rate of fire.
Can't beat the sound of an M61 Vulcan though, sounds like Hell tearing open.
