Firearms.

[Ellipzocore]

In case of some people say "You only like those guns because they are from the U.S.!" I like them based on their looks, and their power.

The classic M16 is one of my favorites.

the .357 Magnum would be a great gun to own.

The Barret M105 .50 Caliber Sniper Rifle won a part in my favorites.

The other classic Glock 22, they are nice.

And the Ruger P series.

They rae basically my starters, but don't say "That's all?" Because it's not. Trust me, The Uzi is very nice too.

I prefer the M14 over the M16.

I like the Colt M1911A1, though that's a heavy handgun, makes for a good "sitting behind the desk gun".  A Glock 23 or Glock 27 would be great.  Also, the Sig Sauer P229 (9mm parabellum), 9mm Baretta, Taurus SSUL .38 special +P (undercover model), the Taurus M605B .357 Magnum.

As for shotguns, I like the SPAS12, the Striker Street Sweeper, the Winchester "Defender", the Mossberg "Pursuader", and the Benelli "Nova" (pump action, 5 shot, tactical shotgun).

Same here.

"I don't want no teenage queen, I just want my M-14!"

The only firearm I really love is the S&W 38 special. I like the size and the balance, even though it is far from the best sidearm available.

For rifles, the M-14 or the basic Springfield 303 are my favorites, actually, for the same reasons as the 38. And I don't even touch shotguns. Not my style.

If it's relaxed gun laws you guys want, move to Connecticut.

On a different. Note, my uncle owns a Taurus T5 Judge, the revolver that fires shotgun shells, and my cousin for his 18th birthday got a Mosin Nagant

Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum. That thing is capable of taking down cape buffalo.

For a size comparison, the image on Wiki here shows the difference between a Remington .44 Magnum, and a .500 S&W Magnum.

There is no kill like overkill.

I'm more of a sniper myself.

There is no kill like overkill.

Hehe, that round was designed entirely for big game hunting, but in regards to overkill, I am reminded of this Ninjutsu teaching, "There is no such thing as overkill, only insurance."

[Vy'drach]

I'm more of a sniper myself.

Don't forget to keep that muzzle-break on. 65% less recoil is rather important.

And the .50 BMG is a nice round,  but is getting outdated as a sniper. There are rounds now that reach out farther, more accurately, with more stopping power, like the .338 Lapua Magnum, and the .416 Barret.

Sorry for the double post, but I got news on the guns here, and some pictures.

That's most all of our long guns. Unfortunately, the reason they are all out on my bed like that is because most of then have developed a slight case of surface rust. Nothing major, as my dad and I can get it off, but it's just not a good thing they developed it.

But what we have here is, from left to right:

the Mossberg 3" magnum .410 shotgun that I got for my birthday, which is about 50 years old.

Springfield M1A (which thankfully doesn't have a spot of rust).

Browning BL-22, first gun I ever fired (that's gonna be an heirloom). Actually, lemme get a good shot of the engraving on it...

There we go.

Mossberg model 500A 12 gauge shotgun, with it's 18" home defense barrel next to it.

Remington Wingmaster 28 gauge shotgun.

Mom's 1903 Springfield with a sporting stock (we call it the mule, because it kicks by far the most of all our guns).

Dad's WWII Mauser Karabiner 98K.

Mom's brand-new (not a surplus or refurbished, brand spankin new) M1 Garand, one of only 10,000 made, one per select gun stores.

Another, more beaten up Mauser Karabiner 98K.

And my Saiga AK-47, chambered for .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO).

^ Those are AWESOME!!!

you should see the AA-12 silver it's a beast of a shotgun

I'm more partial to the Daewoo Precision Industries USAS-12 myself, but the Atchisson Assault Shotgun is a good weapon too.

[CrypticQuery]

Vydrach, with all those incredible firearms, I believe a Zombie Apocalypse could be ended in an instant XD. 

[Vy'drach]

Scary thing is, that's not even half of the guns I want, but most of the ones I do want are illegal in California.

I never saw an AK-47 with a rifle grip before

[Ellipzocore]

Until now, I had no reason to post here. Now that I am going to take on hunting, I think now is the time. What would be a really nice thing would be have a nice brand new 12 Gauge for when it comes time for large game. (2 Years to go.)

[Vy'drach]

California legal. Due to the assault weapons ban, weapons can not have two "assault" features at the same time. These features include detachable magazines, and pistol grips. If I had a pistol grip, the magazine would require a bullet button, or be completely non-removable and I'd have to load it through the ejection port.

Hope you're using a slug then, because a good number of large animals don't really get hurt by pellets.

Yeah.  Damn this state of California. 

Anyways, I wanna get a Benelli Nova 12 gauge pump action shotgun, and saw down the stock to barely legal federal standards, where it's 26 and 1/2 inches in total length, some of the Binelli Nova shotgun's barrels are already 18 and 1/2 inches in length.  I'd have to remove the butt from the stock, hopefully still leaving 8 inches on the frame. >__>

[Arashikage]

Well, hearing this, I'm glad to live in Connecticut.  My neighbor has an AK-47 with pistol grip and removable magazine.  When I went up to the blue trails range, I saw a few AR-15's and the National Guard was there with their M4s

[Asper Sarnoff]

Okay, now that I've actually aquired a little more experience with firearms over the past weeks, I might even be able to contribute to this thread. As most probably know by now, I've been trough my recruit period, and there gotten to know the Norwegian Armed Forces new baby, the H&K 416. As I allready have some experience with the gun it replaced, the H&K G3 AG3, it's only natural to compare them against each other.

Now, this should be an easy comparison, shouldn't it? An almost ancient design with such a large caliber that it during NATO excersices have been dubbed "The Norwegian handcannon", against a modern, lightweight redesign of the M4 carabine. Well, despite the 416 havings its pros, I can't help myself actually missing the AG3. Sure, it weighed a bit more, and had a recoil that would be tiring in prolonged combat, but there is a certain feel to the AG3 which I just like more. And one shouldn't forget the punch either. Vydrach have allready told us about the downside of the 416's NATO 5.56 X 45mm. Well, one don't get that with the 7.62x51mm of the AG3. Catch one of those, and you won't be getting up again anytime soon.

So I am a little dissapointed they had to replace it just before I got in. It's not that the 416 is a bad gun. It definatively isn't. But I still miss the AG3.

[Ellipzocore]

Okay! I discovered I like the .20 gauge with a Semi-auto or Pump action. I don't mind what brand., but as long as I can use either of them, then I'm fine. 2 3/4" Shells is the kind I prefer.

[Hatsworth III]

well, sometimes i pratice target shooting with my 5.5 mm pressure carabine (not so much powerful, but very deadly at close range  )
