This video popped up while I was perusing YouTube today: https://youtu.be/XkVn1lzcK70This gentleman has amassed the most impressive collection of militaria that I've ever seen. In the video, he walks us through his "military museum".

This guy popped up either here or TOS a while back. His place is open for tours which would be seriously fun.

His prices seem fairly reasonable. I think I heard him say $25 for an hour with one of the "run of the mill" type full-auto weapons. Also saw somewhere $2 to drive the tank. In one of his videos he talks about how reloaded ammunition "always" causes malfunctions, which seemed a little strange, but to each his own I guess.

Incredible! How did he get enough money to buy all those things?

Hard work at buying and selling guns. The lawsuit against Discovery was dismissed. PTmorgan wrote: Where is the museum located?

The son of a New York chiropractor quit high school in the ninth grade to collect guns, build motorcycles and ride with gangs. After serving in the army for a one-year stint between 1965 and 1966 during the Vietnam War, Mr Bernstein opened a motorcycle-repair shop on Long Island. He moved to Colorado with his wife, Terry Flanell, in 1982, where they opened the gun store and started building the collection. But Bernstein was hit by tragedy in 2012 when his wife was killed at their rifle range while filming a Discovery Channel reality show. Terry died when she was hit by two smoke bombs travelling at 150mph while being used to create a smoky atmosphere for the show about the military. Speaking at the time, Bernstein said: “I lost my best friend”.

I used to play paintball with him when I was stationed at Ft. Carson. Just going up his driveway is shall we say interesting.

Wow. I was wondering how his place was guarded. Apparently not

I was wondering about this as I watched. I thought maybe he was in some super-secret location known only to him, but it turns out his address is all over the internet. Found it on Google Maps and was easily able to identify specific buildings based only on what was in the video. I'm not shocked he was robbed.
