What the heck, I’ll be that guy… An AK with a bump stock, I’m aware they’re pointless and all that stuff but they were fun. A close second is my 29-2, it just tickles my fancy.

Hi...
My son and I went to Knob Creek for the machine gun shoot a couple of times.
Dropped a good amount of cash for the opportunity to shoot several automatic weapons.
My son shot mostly modern weapons but I shot firearms from WWII...a belt fed.30cal machine gun, a BAR, Thompson SMG and a German MP40. All of them were great fun but shooting up an abandoned car with a belt fed machine gun was off the charts.
Supposedly last year was the last of their machine gun shoots...SAD!

A few guns stand out, all ones that I own.
For a rifle, my 22Lr Remington 241 made back in 1949. A nice break down improved Browning design 22LR with a 24" barrel.
and my type 1 Colt 1903 made in 1906. (on the left)
and a modern example. I have always loved the 1903 and really really wanted to love the 1911 but have always been very disappointed with the 1911s I've bought. Almost 40 years ago I bought a Series 80 but it was ever enjoyable or reliable and Colt couldn't seem to make it enjoyable or reliable so it went to a Forever Home.
About 20 years ago I bought a Dan Wesson semi-custom Pointman/Patriot and it was beautimus but again, simply never reliable and never enjoyable and so after tring to love it for several years it too went to a Forever Home.
I had lots of 45acp handguns I loved but none were bottom feeders but I felt somewhat dirty not being able to enjoy the 1911 platform.
for the last couple years I have been looking at the ads and reviews of some Turkish made 1911s being imported by SDS. Initially they were about $300.00 but gradually the prices crept up. I'd put one in the shopping cart then decide against it and this went on about every month or so until finally I went ahead and bought one, not at the $300.00 price but not much over $400 including tag, tax, transportation and dealer prep. (no free floor mats though) What came in was not the neat box with the 1911 line drawing but a pretty common plastic clamshell case. But it did come with two Check-Mate magazines instead of just one.
And I loved it. It felt just like the big old slabside that followed my dad home from his four year all expenses paid cruise and tour through North Africa, Italy and the Persian Gulf.
The big difference was that the new one didn't rattle like the old one. The old one was so loose you could hear it rattle even when it was stuffed into sock at the back of a dresser drawer.
But it was a joy to shoot, worked with the magazines that came with it as well as some old Mec-Gar and Ed Brown ones I found that somehow didn't get sent with the DW to the Forever Home. It liked all the old 45acp ammo (lots that I demooned and stole from the wheelies) whether it was 230 ball or 185 JHP and even some old 230+p HiVel from the original Triton (not the Miami company that bought the name). It was everything the Colt Series 80 and the Dan Wesson was not.
And so, about a month later..

It would be hard to narrow it down to just one. There is a Doctor that comes to our private range to shoot sometimes and it would probably be something out of his collection. Probably his 1919A-4 shooting supressed 22. You could hear the bolt clacking, the empty brass tinkling on the concrete floor and the bullets hitting the disc blade that we were shooting at. But its fun to shoot a lot of other stuff. A few others that I had fun shooting were a 50 cal Barrett, a custom 1911 Bullseye gun, a full blown Benchrest rifle, a 1928 Thompson and probably a few others that I'm forgetting.

The Most Fun Gun I have fired would be a friend's Desert Eagle in .44 Magnum. With that gas operating system it was a real blast to shoot!
For me guns that are the most accurate (and reliable) are the most fun to own. Two of those are my Ruger 10/22 which the first time I had it out, it was so accurate with the factory sights that I knew I would have to put a scope on it!
The other fun gun I own is my Colt Combat Commander .45 that was part of a limited run from Colt's Custom Shop. I let it get away from me but long story short, I got it back and it definitely shoots as good as it looks!

A bushmaster arm pistol was my absolute favorite when I was a kid.
now my favorite is probably my 10-22

Haven't shot a lot of guns (couple 12 gauge shotguns, 54 revolvers and 3 auto handguns), but the most fun of mine probably is the Virginian Dragoon SA 44 Magnum shooting 44 Special cowboy rounds. So really any single action revolver, would be a lot of fun. A single action has you much more involved with the gun because of the ejection/loading procedure and the need to cock the hammer every time.

Rock & Roll on Full auto, M16A1 Carbine. Sold it.
Why? Because in 1979, they only cost $631.26 + $200 Tax stamp.

That's a close second to the M2; I was 22 when I fired the M2, but half that age when I fired the M1A1.

If I can count the LAW rocket I fired in ROTC. 
(not the 'bottle rocket' trainer, a live one, at an M113 hulk.)

Thompson .45. Gulfport PD had a couple in inventory and I got to shoot them (they also had a mini Uzi that was fun too). M60-E4 in the Military. I was M60 gun team lead and got to shoot it quite a bit.
The most fun gun I own?.....My 18 inch 1914 Remington Model 11 I built from a box of parts.

Ok, here's one, with an AR specifically (but would have been much cooler with an M60).
I used to belong to a shooting range named Triple C near Cresson, TX.
One day they were having some event out there and had a chopper doing an adult version of kiddy rides. It would fly in lazy circles around a group of junk cars and they strapped you in the door gunner position and let you hang out and blast away at the junkers like it was Vietnam, The Ride.
It had been probably 26-27 years since I'd been in a chopper. My Vietnam Vet Dad said no thanks. No more choppers for him. It was certainly big with the tacticool crowd though.
