Best gun?

My favourite to shoot has to be a good ol' bolt-action rifle. Far prefer it to semi-automatics (can't shoot fully automatics here in the UK). So simple. Such fun.

And it makes me feel like I'm living in the 1880s when I shoot mine sometimes for some reason. The classic vibe I guess.

I think the best gun would be one that can kill a man,KlownMaster

Anything from the AK family, more specifically the AKM. Over 9000 (literally) rounds through mine, and hardly any hitches, all while maintaining reasonable accuracy, durability, simplicity, and reliability. I wouldn't give mine up for anything.

M1A SOCOM II

The SOCOM II is crap, honestly. If you want an M1A rifle that isn't full-sized, you're much better off with the Scout variant. It's actually what the armed force's EBR is, and those two extra inches of barrel REALLY help the 7.62x51 round in terms of muzzle velocity and accuracy.

Is that a henry you've got there on the left? Nice collection man... I guess you're a fan of wooden frames? Ever consider snagging a wood-framed Dragunov?Frame_Dragger

That would be the venerable Mosin Nagant on the far left. I also have the sniper variant with a PU scope. And yes, I'm a HUGE fan of military rifles that have wooden stocks. I'd love a genuine SVD, but those things run over $5k, easily. I'd have to make do with a Romanian PSL for $800 and go through a further $500 or so to make it look like a Dragunov.

TF2 sentry. Camping at its finest.

Out of guns that I've shot or held, the Mosin Nagant. The kick is awesome.

This gun is the best gun ever.

Best. Firing. Sound. Ever.

A bunch of people have already said this, but... There's no "best gun." (And that's the last time I use the term "gun" here.) Different weapons provide different capabilities. It's not fair to compare a Glock with a machinegun. One is totally unsuitable to accomplishing the other's mission. A better topic would have been "Favorite Firearm." Then people could answer based on their use of firearms. In that case, I pick the 1911. That's the weapon I use the most, professionally and personally. At the same time, I don't claim the 1911 is the "best" sidearm, nor do I recomment it to everyone. It's just best for me.

By the way, I'm shocked that this has gone five pages without someone trolling the thread.

EDIT: Four pages..

but i came into this thread to agree with whatever Palantas said

The term best is really subjective. As for my favorite firearm, it would have to be the M16A1 I fired when I was in the Marines way back when.

gets the job done

The best rifles I've fired are the M4 and HK416. Glock 9mm is the best pistol.

I usually keep my forums around 20 posts per page, unless I'm hunting for something which is rare.

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="Frame_Dragger"] I'm not saying the Glock isn't a good gun, but if you could have any Glock vs. any Sig Sauer, Beretta, or Springfield you'd still go for a glock chambered in 9mm? I wouldn't even recommend that for target shooting, and the stopping power is underwhelming IMO.Frame_Dragger

[QUOTE="Frame_Dragger"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Yes. Best pistol I've ever fired and I've fired a lot. Very accurate, compact handgun with a low recoil. And who needs stopping power unless you're shooting at someone on PCP.KC_Hokie

Sig Sauer and Beretta both have compact and standard lines that chamber from 9mm-.45 ACP, and the 1911 IS a .45 ACP standard. Anyway, I'm happy with the beretta in 9mm, one in 40 S&W, and my SS in .357 Sig rounds... basically a jumped up 9mm to compromise between a musket ball and the overpenetration of the 10mm Auto.

EDIT: My bad, not .45 compacts in the Beretta AFAIK

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="Frame_Dragger"] Well, personally I'm a strong believer in the Mozambique drill as the model for SD/HD, and executed properly you don't need large caliber. However, you'd be surprised at the range of reactions people display to gunshot wounds with or without factors like drugs. On the other hand, if you clip the lower ventricle of the heart or descending aorta, you don't have to worry about that. In a real life situation it's good to rely on training and accuracy, but having the insurance of some stopping power can't hurt you. As for your preference for the Glock I'd agree that it's accurate and some models are compact. Personally however, when prolonged use grip, and lasting accuracy are concerned, I'm not as much of a fan. Just my take though, it's not as though I'd throw away most Glocks.Frame_Dragger

Most of the handguns you listed from the companies above aren't any bigger than 40 caliber. KC_Hokie

No bullets required.

[QUOTE="Frame_Dragger"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Like I said from the start..my favorite is a 9mm pistol. Specifically a Glock. I'm not that impressed with Beretta weapons until you get into shotguns. And Sig Sauer's don't perform any better. Most competitors actually prefer Glocks. KC_Hokie
