For me it may be. I think they rose out of my price range. I may still be able to afford a Makarov, Nambu, Enfield or maybe a P-38 but I expect that's about it.
I've always liked rifles, not so much shotguns and handguns. Shotguns I have three. One for me and two for my kids to hunt with. Only handguns I have are military or civilian versions of military.
