Haha, kind of like the effects of jacking a round into the chamber of a shotgun, huh? I'd really like to fire a Desert Eagle sometime, sounds like it's a kick in the pants.
I have used a Python, it belongs to my uncle and was the pistol he used to carry as a police officer. Yeah, it's pretty sweet.

.22 bolt action Rifle with open sights which has been on every square inch of our farm, and probably has about 5000 rounds put through it in a summer. Too many gophers, and too much other work to do, otherwise there would be more!

Yeah, the old tried and true ones always end up being the most fun to use. On our ranch we trap the gophers, but I use my .30-30 or my 12 gauge to control the ground squirrel population .
Nothing like overkill to brighten your day.

Personally I think the Rocket Launcher m/48 "Carl-Gustav" is my favourite firearm. Rocket Launchers are so much fun, all that firepower

Yeah I bet. I've always wanted to get one of those old "Honest John" rockets from the 50s and knock down a few barns with it. Somehow I don't think that's ever going to happen though, dang it.

If you want to try something that kicks a lot more than a mule, you should try this one Redneck...

It's great fun to shoot with it, but damn it kicks like h.ll....

Here's picture I took when I was in Lebanon.
We bought an old M113 APC and towed it down to the firing range.
Tried AG3 (7,62x51mm), MG3 (Maschinengewehr MG3 7,62x6351mm), 50. Cal (12,7mm) machine gun and the Carl Gustav on it..

This is the result of a hit by the 84mm Carl Gustav...

When you see that picture you understand why I think the Carl Gustav is so much fun... It has been a while now since I fired one though, so I have get going to the armoury
