Help Needed with Project!!!

[GamesB4Gains]

I'm doing a college economics class and i need to do a powerpoint presentation over anything having to do with money, economics, market etc. Since I'm a HUGE gun enthusiast, I want to do one over Weapons. Please give me some topics you think will be good. Mainly the selling of Handguns or Rifles to the military, but if you come up with a better idea please tell me.

What about Aircraft Carriers?

You should definitely analyze the the illicit trade of soviet weaponry to African and Middle Eastern countries immediately following the fall of the Soviet Union.

Not only is it an interesting subject, but black market economics is an amazing and complex beast. You'll nail an "A" no problem.

Also what Econ course are you taking? Macro?

Congratulations, you have managed to produce the worst post I have ever seen in any forum.

Sexy Beast's Lord of Wa..I mean suggestion is a good one, but I guess I can throw in two Finnish firearms manufacturers that both made assault rifles to the Finnish defense forces.

But if I were you, I'd go with what Sexy said...if you don't come up with something else on your own. I'd imagine that there's a lot more articles about his subject, and there for easier to write about.

Maybe the selling of guns on the black market affecting the sales of legal guns?

^This idea is good.

How about the Iraqi selling of guns to Al-Qaeda to help support their cause. I saw this on the news, but I honestly like Sexy Beast's idea better than mine.

Yeah, it's basically Lord of War, but the guy the film is based on is just now getting extradited to the US...so it's somewhat topical.

 

[GamesB4Gains]

YES. You guys are amazing. Knew I could trust you. Black market weapon sales it is. And its a Macro econ. course.
