It all depends on the type of gun. For example a handgun would cost considerably less than an top end assault rifle like an M4 carbine or M16.
If it's a handgun your after I guess you'll want a semi automatic one which means you fire a round (bullet) each time you pull the trigger without having to re-cock the gun between shots so you can fire rapidly until the magazine or clip runs out.
These guns, legally can cost from around $300 to around $1000 or more, but illegally $150 to $1000. However the chances are if you buy a semi automatic handgun for $150 it will either be a piece of sh*t that would jam and even explode in your face or if it's a decent gun it would probably have been involved in some bad business.
For most bog standard assault rifles, rifles and shotguns (except pump action) your looking at about $1000 or more the maximum is about $5000 but for some assault rifles and SMGs (Sub Machine Gun) you can pay up to $60,000.
However if you wish to upgrade your guns with new sights, bigger magazines, scopes, grenade launchers (illegal almost everywhere) new grips, camouflage paint jobs, bayonets and whatever else you want to stick on a gun you can spend further thousands.

Did bad weather hinder the attack on Normandy in 1944?
In a way it was beneficial to the Allies. The cross channel conditions were such that the invasion, although expected somewhere, was unlikely to happen in a less than calm sea. But the tidal situation was vital, the landing craft would be hampered by underwater obstacles unless landing at a very low tide: Eisenhower took the chance. The surprise element was crucial to success.

Why did some soldiers wear cards in their helmets?
I'm guessing it was a sort of luck charm. The symbols on the cards could represent the soldier in some way. Or, maybe it was some way to identify certain people in your unit. Or yet again it couldve just been a wartime "fad" just the thing to do at the time. I do know for a fact that the Ace of Spades is the Death Card in which the hardest soldiers might wear.
How many miles is Omaha to Long Beach?
I want to take a road trip with my family this upcoming summer. We want to drive from Omaha Nebraska to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, then drive from there to the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and eventually end up in Long Beach California, see the sights. Then drive back.
What percentage of soldiers survived the D-Day landing?
Exact figures should be available somewhere, but I can tell you that casualties were lighter than expected on Utah, Gold, Sword, and Juno. Less than 200 were killed on Utah, a handful for a division-sized attack, compared to the 800+ killed in Operation Tiger (the secret rehearsal for Normandy) at Slapton Sands, England). * It is not all about the percentages. The actor Charles Durning was a US soldier at Omaha. His boot came untied and he bent over to tie it. A German bullet killed the soldier in front of him and the soldier in back of him. Durning was understandably affected by the experience, and as a result he will not make war movies. * If percentages cannot be found, it is still possible to find strength and casualty figures for Operation Overlord (D-Day) and crunch the numbers yourself. And don't forget the Airborne divisions.
