To Shoot, or not to shoot? THAT is the question

Gentlemen, all you guys who advocate shooting $3000-10000 dollar Lugers have come up with nothing more than bland platitudes..it yours, do what you want blah blah blah. That's a no brainer.

I want to know WHY you would prefer to shoot say a $6500 all matching Imperial Navy rather than one JUST like it with mismatched parts, same caliber etc. costing say..$1000.

Personally, I don't think anyone can really dig deep and answer this. Because the answer is always going to be this..There is NO DIFFERENCE.

If you choose to shoot a $6500 dollar Imperial Navy and risk it's total destruction by breaking a numbered part you are not only foolish but a very poor caretaker of historical artifacts left in your care.
Yes, yes..I know you paid for it etc but what has that got to do with caretaking such a rare and valuble piece of history?

Would you buy a Panda, shoot it and eat it?
