    I really want to win the M16A1 in the giveaway as it is my favorite firearm in history, being lucky enough to learn about the history of it and being able to handle it puts it up there. I'll be extremely grateful if I win this as it is hard to find Denix replicas in my place of residence.

    I’ve had the opportunity to fire and learn about the M16A1, I’ll be ecstatic if I can finally display this amazing piece alongside the M1911. (Love the M1911 by the way)

    As a huge fan of Vietnam war history and being lucky enough to fire an actual M16A1 and an M1911, it would be a dream to finally own it as I can fully practice loading drills and learn more about this amazing piece of firearm history, as the US military still uses the basis of the M16A1 as it’s combat weapons after 50 years. Being able to find a M16A1 Denix replica to display alongside my M1911 Denix replica is hard in Australia, as well as it being affordable. If the employees at Denix choose this entry, I will be beyond ecstatic to finally have my own M16A1 replica. (Aside from that, I absolutely love the M1911 replica, it’s pretty much identical to an actual one!)

    This weapon honestly is one of the most famous firearms in history, which is why I want to pick this weapon if I won the giveaway. Just an elegant yet deadly weapon, and would be a great display piece!
