What is the most intimidating firearm you have ever seen?

a 3 inch 500 S&W.......cause I own the 8 3/4 so I couldn't imagine shooting that thing.

I like the Smith and wesson 44 mag snub nose.It frightens me after about 25 rounds.

The walther P-38 I had stuck in my abdomen by a maniac. Second would be a SPAS-12.

nothin more intimidating then a cricket.

hmmm... maybe a .45-70 BFR by magnum research

the 20ga shotgun that was pointed at me

even a .22lr pointed at me is scary. wouldnt want to get shot with a BB gun either.

When my friend rested the barrel of his 10/22 on my shoulder to try to shoot a squirrel. The muzzle was a little close for comfort. The funny thing about it was that what he shot at wasn't a squirrel at all, but parts of 2 seperate branches that looked just like a squirrel from where we were.

The most intimidating weapon is any one being operated by someone that knows what they are doing and has the will to do it. It's not the weapon, it's the person in control.

+1 for the A10

or

USAS 12

the most intimidating gun i have ever seen is the gun setups on many military jets and planes of today.
like the nose gun on an A-10 Warthog, the cannons on an F-16, the setup on the AC-130, with it's guns either being a 105mm cannon or a 120mm cannon.
both are just insanely powerful.
most inimidating weapon i have seen?
a disarmed nuclear bomb at a museum near hill AFB in Utah.
it still was sinfully scary even though it was disarmed
(and it was eight feet long and about six feet tall.)

It would have to be the unknown revolver that a thug pointed at my face back in the 1980's in Indianapolis. It was the last time I ever wore that pair of underwear.

Now that was an intimidating firearm.

The most intimidating firearm I've ever seen was a .22lr revolver that I didn't know enough about guns at the time to identify the make. I was 11 or 12 and a neighborhood bully and his friend walked by my front yard while I was hanging out with a friend and they decided to pull it out and have some fun seeing our reaction to having a gun pulled on us and threatened us for a minute or two before walking away. After the cops were called the sidekick must have been pretty scared (I'd have been scared knowing what they did and seeing a dozen cop cars in our sleepy suburban neighborhood, knowing they were there for them) because he knocked on our front door the next day and apologized to my mother (I wasn't there) and claimed it was a pellet gun, but when the police searched their houses there were no pellet guns and the bully had a .22lr revolver in his room matching our description of the gun so they determined that was the gun.

I'm surprised I didn't have to change my underwear that day, I did see my friend try to run away so fast that his feet couldn't get traction on the wet grass and he looked VERY cartoonish, and I learned for the first time that in a real situation I am very much in control and do pretty well.

I may have looked into the business end of a few Police 357 mag revolvers oh ummmm three or so times, with the officer yelling "Freeze!!!".

You know the thing about 357 Mag revolvers is that you can very much see the hollow points looking back at you. Plus something about knowing they're 357 mag bullets; all ready to go...

The early 1980s; somehow I survived.

one day at the range in 2006 i was shooting my Marlin .22 WMR all of a sudden i felt my hat move form a real loud bang of g force i turned my head and saw the largest son of a bitch hand cannon i ever seen the guy in the bench next to me pulled out a .460 XVR Magnum wheel gun it was the loudest i ever felt in my life up close. he was shooting a .30-30 before he pulled out that big SOB.

A Jennins 22 auto. Last time I shot at Carter's Country shooting range north of Houston and old lady who had no idea what she was doing pointed that gun at me as I was leaving. I pushed it down and said not to point that gun at me? She peevishly complained that it was not loaded.

I should have reported her but I didn't.

Well, since no one said it has to be hand held or shoulder fired, I would go with a 16 inch naval gun.

The 12 ga. 870 pointed at my head by a fellow Marine on guard duty who didn't get the word that I was coming into the compound to repair a downed power generator. The damned OIC didn't tell him and I nearly got shot by this guard because of his mistake. Unreal...

Oh yeah and first runner up goes to that mini-gun shown in post #20.

M16A1 in the hands of a Philippine Communist Guerrilla. The flash suppressor was in my ear.

This photo was sent by a friend. He downloaded it from website that builds and sells these things to appropriately licensed people. BATF paperwork req'd. http://www.hatchergun.com/

It looks like a genuine fight stopper; appearance alone would scare off the average creep.
