Miami Vice is -why- I got into 10mm...
I did want an Uzi with a laser because of Terminator, but have never owned one.

Browning BDM
View attachment 127906

Sorry, BDM didn't come out until 91. I remember lusting after them.

For me, SIG 226. Heck, the one I have was made in 1986.
As an A-Team fan I'd end up with the Mini 14 too.
Probably just an 870 for the shotgun.

No kidding? Well crap, LOL. I guess I’ll have to go with a Hi-Power?

 

[sparkyfender]

I carried a Rossi stainless revolver in .38 special. It's what I could afford at the time. It worked.

 

[jbombelli]

A Browning Hi Power, a Remington 870, and a Mini 14. That WAS my loadout in the 80s.

 

[Ark]

Salmon pink dress slacks, wife beater, unbuttoned aloha shirt with the loudest possible colors

Colt Series 80, preferably two-tone, in a Galco shoulder holster

HK MP5A2 with a Surefire forend

Ithaca 37, parkerized, 20" barrel and full length mag tube, rifle sights

[jsx1043]

Why do I feel this turning into an 80s-themed BBQ or meet-and-eat?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

1911 and a SW M638, a Remington 870 12 gauge, and a Colt M723.

OMG, it is the same as today.

 

[Chance]

S&W M19 4" nickel in the Galco Miami Vice leather shoulder rig. 2 speed loaders in the pocket.

 

[jinks]

In the early 80s, a 4" S&W M19 in an Allessi square inside the waistband holster, or if I thought I might need more a 6.5" Magnaported S&W M29 in a Jackass "Dirty Harry" shoulder holster. A S&W 469 was for more hidden carry. For long guns an HK91 and an HK512 shotgun. Later a Browning DBA 45, an S&W M38, an AR15, and a Winchester M12 were my normal choice. This all changed again in the 90s.

High Standard 10B

Korea?

Thankfully no. Germany x2. As best as I can remember that was our loadout my first trip in 81-84 when I was in G Trp 2/2ACR on the M60A3 TTS. My second trip I was HHT 2 ACR detached to Hof Border Ops Center. Technically still a tanker but only time I saw the inside of a turret was at a single gunnery.
And I just realized I listed the consumables in my post above not what made the consumable useful.
Gun, 105mm, M68
Machine Gun, 50 cal, M85 (what a POS!)
Machine Gun, 7.62, M240 (Sweet piece of ordnance!)
Submachine gun, 45 cal M3A1
Pistol, semi-automatic, 45 cal, M1911A1
