Favorite gun?

“null”

“That would be the Colt, Model 603, M16A1 assault rifle, spock. Any more questions?”

“Not even! The P-23 Air Pistol all the way, baby!”

“The one pointed at Spock's head.”

“Any gun that doesn't shoot me.”

“the red ryder!”

“H&K MP5”

“I like Bizzaros answer”

“the colt M4-A1 is far superior to the antiquated M-16, but I would have to say my favorite weapon would have to be the HK MP 5 or the FN P-90. The P-90 offers the accuracy and penetration of the MP-5 with a much larger top load clip. If I wanted a longer range rifle I would still choose the SSG 552 which offers comporable fire rate and accuracy with the addition of a scope. In terms of side arms I would choose the Sig P-228 or the or the .45 USP Tactical.”

“a cork gun”

“Guns of Navarone”

“HK UMP45 (Sub)
HK OCW (rocket louncher)
HK SL-8 (sniper rifle)
JACKHAMMER (Automatic Shotgun)
SPAS (Auto shot gun)”

“the jackhammer is worthless. It always overheats and jams and is a very poor tactical weapon. The M-3 and XMP are much better choices.”

“So many choices in a thread made for me.... Almost anything designed by John M. Browning but the 1911 model Colt in 45ACP is tops. In a close second to Browning design is the Thompson 1928-A1.”

“DM and Teabag, how much time have you spent behind the trigger with your "favorite"guns?The list reads like a GUCCI shopping list...

Abe Lincoln...shot with a poor quality 1860's era pistol (head shot)

JFK shot by a piece of crap Italian bolt action rifle,while moving...3 shots(one head,one shoulder plus another victim...#3 I forget)

Carlos Hathcock 93 confirmed kills,with a modified M-14 and Remington 700 (i think)

Major John Plaster,over 100 confirmed kills with a variety of military and civilian firearms.

Its not about names,ballistics,penetration...its about confidence in the firearm and SHOT PLACEMENT. Stop reading guns and ammo...please!”

“DM... have you ever shot the Jackhammer? Overheats whaddafu!!!!! Stop reading guns and ammo d@mmit!

Tea, the Spas 12 is not an automatic. Its a combination pump and semi-automatic.”

“ok, ok,

My Remington 12 gauge pump action, you happy now?”

“Ruger 10/22 rifle with an International style stock.Got one from Sassafrass for my Bday years ago...”

“Gearslut, my comments were not directed to you but to Tea and Dm (the Vienna Boys Choir!)”

“birch:
Hathcock mostly used a WInchester Mod. 70 in 30-06. Some was with a Browning M2- 50 cal with a scope screwed to it while on top of a mountain in Vietnam. I think his record was 2,500 meters (for the novice that's more than 1.5 miles)”

“16" deck gun ,magazined with alternating Dragons Breath/buckshot rounds”

“Ok, you are all scaring me now.”

“Mtnman thanks for the correction on Carlos' weapon. I own a Rem 700 in 30-06..I guess that I think eveyone should LOL. Do you recall if it was Carlos or Plaster who shot an NVA sniper with an M-2 from a moving sampan from over 600 meters... now that is some shootin.

BTW rifle season (for deer) opens in less than three days!!!”

“DM, I say we show them what our "favorite guns" will do with a shot to the nuts from 3ft away”

“4" Smith &Wesson 357”

“Browning Hi-power .44 auto. Great gun and very accurate also. I also love my rugar10/22 for plinking. You can't miss with that thing.”

“One that shots today and kills tomorrow!!!!!”

“"You'll shoot yer eye out kid!"”

“I have shot an MP 5, I have shot a 30.06. Once I become financially independant I'll probably collect guns as a hobby.

Oh yea, if the jackhammer is a good gun, why isn't it used? Cant' beat good ole' pump action.”

“Paintball gun”

“My newest, of course; a nice Ruger 22/45 .22 target pistol that came home with me Sunday and went straight to the range for 100 rounds of break-in/sight-in. Going to be great for plinking, along with my wife's 10/22 rifle. Also mucho cheaper than an afternoon of 9mm paper punching, even with basic FMJ loads.

But my stainless Rossi M-85 revolver in 38spl. w/full shroud and vent-rib 3" barrel and tropical wood grips is still the prettiest. Ah, classic revolver stylin' can be sweet.

And yes, this counts as a gear thread.”

“PEZ dispenser with a Goofy head.”

“Ahh a Red Neck Gathering? Guns are for fearful people. I don't live in fear. Good bye. :)”

“Last year I was going to get the ruger 22/45 target pistol but opted for the ruger single six with a 7inch barrel. Fun gun to have along on short trips.”

“LOL Sassafrass!”

“Birch:
I don't recall it from his book and that's what I get my knowledge of him from. He was positioned on a hill with a Browning M2 50 cal sandbagged down and fixed with a scope and I do recall him hitting a bicycle way way out. The M2 weighs about 84 pounds and apparently has a very stable (obvoiusly heavy around 400 grains I think) bullet so it is good for long range accuracy may be the same guy. He was a fantastic long range shooter and had several 1000 mtr trophies in the USMC. I've done some long range Hipower and its HARD. I have a Rem 700 BDL in 270 Win. Love it, its very similar to yours.”

“That was CHRISTMAS Birch! Remember you found it and opened it three days early?!”

“Calnative, I picked the 22/45 because it has a polymer frame and grip, along with a bull barrel to give it some front end weight, that make it very similar to the feel of our KP95s, making it nice for practice. The clip release button is even in the same place. Nice to have a completely adjustable rear sight, too.”

“Rem 700 BDL, 30-06”

“MK-19 grenade launcher”

“Hey, we've got some real firearm aficionados here! I need some advise. I want to get a shotgun for the home. What would you recommend in a 12-guage with a barrel short enough to barely be legal. And I would rather not spend a ton of money. Any suggestions?”

“beretta?
with a clip?”

“BobK - for a real deal, find a Wal-Mart that has the Mossberg 500 "Defender" model in stock. 18" barrel with an 8-round magazine tube, synthetic stock. A couple years ago I picked up one for $189.

If you have more to spend, though, find a gun shop with a mil-spec Mossberg 590 with parkerized finish -- an upgraded version of the 500 that has a variety of barrel/mag capacity options.”

“That Mossberg should have a pistol grip attachment too.

Think about an alarm and better outside lighting, a safe for locking up valuables or getting a good size dog. Thorny bushes around windows work get great.”

“Well, I already have two Dobermans. They are excellent deterents to the neighborhood lowlife, as well as outstanding bed warmers and general household comedians! But I do want to replace the really crappy shotgun that was given to me a while back.

I have heard a Mossberg gun would make a good choice. And $189 works for me. Thanks!”

“Plinked Browning buck mark has a better feel in the hand and more accurate that the mark II of 22/45
Sig 220 .45 cal great feel in the hand and less complicated that the 1911(what I consider an experts gun ) ps I have a kimber great gun but the sig wins
Ruger 10/22 cheep and fun
Howa .308 cal great gun good price and more accurate out of the box that rem 700
Glock 33 .357sig it is a hand full (because it is not 8) ) I don?t like glock in .40cal they had a KB problem early on I do have a KKM barrel in .40 this is nice though
Ruger MINI 14 all the love of a AR15 none of the hassle ,it looks like a sporter (witch it is) but still has the potential
BobK Mossberg 500 "Defender" great choice ergonomics are very good and will work every time stay away from the Winchester it has some function problems . if you don?t like the Mossberg Rem 870 is always a good choice .

Barret (sp) .50cal is the coolest and made just a couple of miles away . but will be on my wish list a very long time”

“Also a good shot gun (in pump) is a Remington 870 with a 20" barrel. Mine ran be about $200 from Scheels. The 870 is a real work horse and can take a beating and never fail.”

“The 20 MM "Burp" gun mounted on the nose of the A-10 Warthog - tank buster!”

“Geez, you guys are obessed.”

“BobK:
A short barreled shotgun, even a 20 guage is fine is the best for home defense. I suggest a pump but a side by side is fine. By short barrel anything from 18(legal) to 24 inches in a cylinder bore (no choke) I use a Mossberg for this like Pekka, Don't do the pistol grip for 2 reasons 1. its much harder to control recoil and hit anything and 2. it just looks bad if you ever needed it and then say the family of the perp sue and they drag that thing out in court. You know it looks like an evil person's weapon that MEANT to KILL someone not like honest John's bird gun. One more thing NO 00 buck loads OK. Keep at least the first few rounds as some low brass trap/skeet load with 71/2 -9 shot. Two reasons here too 1. it won't shoot through the wall and kill someione in the next room or apartment (energy dissipates in the first side of the sheetrock) and 2. It is like the rule above (it looks better in court than blasting the poor intruder with some big time 3" mag. 00 buck load)Trust that any shotgun load no matter how mild is terribly destructive inside 20 yards.”
