Military surplus collector goes right to the source

I wonder what he was really doing with them?

It is the 1940s edition of a hero pic. Most likely him and his buddies gathered up a bunch of captured arms and wanted to see how many he could hold, I know I have done dumb stuff like that. My personal record is 4 flak vest on me, 4 C6 (one in each hand by the carry handle, and two slung on me), and two C9s (the carry handles stuck into the 'sleeves' of the flak vest). Lets just say I couldn't move very far. The instructors were also pretty surprised/broke down laughing (I was course senior and for some reason, half the platoon got sent somewhere without there firearms, I think it was the MIR, the other half left me with the kit, it was between me and 3 others to get the half that went to the MIRs kit out). I really wish I had a photo, as I am sure it was pretty funny looking.

At least buddy in the picture looks happy enough.
