Okay, I know that as runners we love having shiny, cutting edge toys that make corpsec and knight errant green with envy. Money for new toys is one of the reasons that we run.
However, some times that old antique from grandad's street-sam days is good enough to pull you out of a bind, and other times it's simply a case of they don't make them like they used to. This is the thread for those old hunks of metal.
G-3 Battle Rifle (Eurowars, Runners Black Book 2074): A vintage battle rifle, this gun is typical for a weapon of its class in almost all aspects. It has a point of inherent recoil compensation, which is always nice, but the reason it tops this list is its price. at 900 nuyen it's just under a third of the price of the next cheapest battle rifle.
HK416 (Eurowars, Runners Black Book 2074): A vintage assault rifle with the range increments of a SMG, most people would quite reasonably consider this weapon inferior to anything in either category (SMGs have better concealability, while normal assault rifles are better at most ranges). In truth the only real way to make this gun shine is to combine a red-dot laser sight and tracer rounds while firing it full auto (as its higher base damage code than a standard SMG comes into play), but this will generally require a substantial investment in recoil compensation modifications.
your turn.

Reaper drone (This Old Drone) - Four weapon mounts, which can take guns, missiles, or dropped bombs. Upgrade the electronics, maybe install VTOL on it, and you have yourself a nice little combat drone. My typical loadout is a LMG with ExEx, a LMG with SnS, and two incendiary bombs. If that isn't enough to ruin someone's day, then you should have let a merc company handle it, not shadowrunners.

Black Knight (this old drone): 40 grand for an obsolete drone sounds pretty pricey... until you see that it has 14 body! the black knight is a literal remote control tank.

With what I've been watching streaming videos of the past couple days, I think I might one day take one of those and add Walker-mode.

I'm a fan of the Colt M1991 from Gun Heaven for a spellslinger I'm tossing through Hero Labs.

Old Model Ford Americar from Used Car Lot. Beat up, tired looking on the outside... Updated systems and a blueprinted crate engine on the inside.
Common as hell, and a good "sleeper" car!

I let my team pay the same cost and add to rounds for a vintage 1911 colt

The Peacemaker called, wondering why it's not getting any love! :P

I am a big fan of the Ares Air Supply from This Old Drone - An inexpensive, obsolescent, large VTOL transport drone. Nothing really spectacular, just that its (as far as I know) the only flying drone with a body of 6, and therefor a possible 18 Armor. That is quite a tough nut to crack!
Also the 6 body allows you to put a reinforced weapon mount on it, for some hevy weapon goodness.

LONE STAR STRATO-9, a flying reinforced weapon mount for 3,5k.
CAS WANDJINA, a flying combat drone with both a normal and reinforced weapon mounts for 12,5k.
Both from this old drone.

One of my characters has one with ruthenium polymer. If you set it to "white" with red crosses on it, and the appropriate spoof chips, nobody looks at it too closely.
