What is your favorite firearm? #2 info


What's your favorite firearm? Preferably one that you have some experience with, but any one that you want to use works to. Please elaborate, seeing as I couldn't really be much more specific with the options than this without going on for several pages.



Personally, my favorite is my own .30-30 Model 94 Winchester lever action. It's the most enjoyable firearm I've ever used, and that includes the M16, M240B, M249, M203, and the M9. It's extremely accurate and well-balanced, and has been proven by almost 150 years of use (not mine, but the design haha). It also packs a pretty serious punch and has good range (I usually only use it around 150-300 yards, but have made longer shots without any difficulties).


No boom, no boom, no boom, Amen.

Field experience is something you don\'t get until just after you need it.

OOH, hard question as there are so many categories :!:

1. Pistol - Glock 21 or a CZ75. Both very nice weapons, especially for service weapons and I had some the best shot groups ever with both of them.

2. Submachine gun - M3A1. Can't beat the old grease gun for shear slamming .45 cal fun (the last time I fried one, I had some pretty good 3-4 round shot groups at 25 and 30 meters).

3. Rifle - M16A1 (most familiar with this one). Maybe not the bestr wervice weapon anyone ever came up with, but good to go.

4. Machine Gun - M2HB. Nothing beats the old .50 cal for sustained firepower, noise and punch. You have to love the way the tracers arc away after hitting (and going thru) the target.

5. Larger calibers - M109 (any model) 155mm howitzer or the M110A2 203mm howitzer - especially at Charges 8, 8 Super or 9. Have to love the noise and blast.

I'd rather be a Soldier with a mule and mountain gun, than Knight of old, with spurs of gold, or Roman, Greek or Hun. For when there's trouble brewing, they always send for me!

Haha, sounds fun. Do you know if we still have any canister, flechette, or equivalent rounds in the inventory? I always figured a 155mm shotgun would be a nice thing to have come goose season, to heck with decoys and waiting for the dang things to decide to come down.

The only AP rounds I know of now is the 105mm flechette. the M1 doesn't have a dedicated AP round and neither does the M109 series (unless you count an HE round with a time fuze set to zero AKA Killer Junior!)
