The Iowa's 16 inchers might be massive, but...

The famed Paris gun would be pretty sweet.
Sorry for the resurrect, had to get that one in.
 
The Gabbett-Fairfax Mars, just to see if it was the monster it was reported to be. Though I'm sure an autoloader in the equivalent of .44 Magnum was quite impressive in an era where .30 or .32 caliber was considered "enough gun."

I'd also want to shoot the GAU-8/A 30mm Gatling gun, as packaged in its "A-10 Thunderbolt II" transportation system, otherwise known as the "Warthog." And probably as "OH SH...." to anyone on the receiving end.

Finally, one of the chicken guns, just for grins. Any one of them would do.
 
Colt Thompson submachine gun (about 800 rpm)
M1 (USGI) Thompson submachine gun (about 400 rpm)
.50 cal. Browning m2
MG-42
BAR
Large bore double rifle
Civil War era Gatling gun


Russ
 
Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range

If not that, then I'll settle for:
HK P7M7
Artillery luger with full stock set-up
Dardick pistol and a case of trounds
A crate of ammo for Gygrojet pistol and carbine
 
-mini gun
-FA uzi
-thompson SMG
-any kind of .50bmg
-.460wby
-any kind of SXS double rifle .470NE and up
-any kind of 10ga
-SPAS-12
-M79 grenade launcher
-any kind of sawed off shotgun
-colt python
-gyrojet
-mateba autorevolver
-S&W 500
-XP-100
-liberator .45acp
-any of the old school steyr handguns
-borchardt
-howdah
-blunderbuss
-and many, many others

M-60 was always the gun I wanted to shoot most when I was a kid, but then I got to shoot 50rds through one in basic and wasn't impressed, so that's off the list.
 
I'd like to shoot a .950JDJ from a shoulder-fired rifle, but looking at the recoil charts, that might just be the last thing I ever do. :uhoh: The free recoil energy out of a 100 pound rifle is more powerful than getting shot with a .380 point blank. Scary.
 
HK P7M7
Barrett .50
Mechem NTW-20
Neostead Shotgun
Airrow Rimfire
Twinbow II

These four were on my list but came off:

AR-15
Any full auto (in my case it was a Galil clone in South Africa)
Garand ( thanks Larry Ashcraft! )
Any suppressed rifle (I now have my own, even if it is only .22LR)
 
BAR M1918
Tommy gun
An original SAA
Barret .50 BMG
.500 magnum
Desert Eagle .50AE
Almost anything from a Sharpe's rifle
I'm kind of a sucker for big rounds.
 
MP43/StG44.
BAR 1918
M1919 Browning
MP40
M1928A1
MG42
PM M1910
Vickers gun
M45 Quadmount
noisy cricket from MIB :)
 
See, when I first read the title, I was thinking Barrett .50 BMG, but as the USS Iowa post proves, I was thinking small.

Thanks for the reset. Now I'm thinking the Vulcan cannon on an A-10...but it has to be in flight, at about 400 knots, 100 feet altitude, 70 degrees angle of bank and 4g. Now we're talking...:)
 
M1A Thompson
Barrett .50 cal
.500 Nitro Express

Any shotgun more expensive than my house (and I know they're out there)

Liberator .45
Any pinfire revolver
 
FBI varient of the Thompson with the 100 round drum.

Ma Deuce with enough ammo to make the barrel glow

Aside from that, honesty, most of what I REALLY want to shoot I have.
 
MP40 submachine gun
Thompson
MG42
Mannlicher Carcano bolt action rifle
Gatling Gun
M1 Carbine

But, I still want to own them all.

Fairchild-Republic made a two-seater A-10 for night/all-weather work, but it didn't catch on. This said, a day in the gunner's seat of a Cobra or Apache would be a hoot!
 
Were did the term "ma deuce" come from? Why not say fifty cal, or M2?
Anyway, my list: MP-5, flintlock, pumpkin chucker, Napoleon era cannon or the ones on pirate ships.
I've had my fill of crew serve machine guns.
 
I want another try at the first center fire handgun I ever fired, a Colt Python. And not any python, but THAT one... the one I fired 20-something years ago during my NRA basic pistol class. My NRA safety instructor owned it and I can't even remember his name. But I'd like to see how and if I have improved. I'd certainly be less nervous about shooting it.

After that, I want to fire any rifle actually used during the battle of the North Bridge on April 19, 1775.

And then, in no particular order of preference:
Mini Gun
The quad .50
A scoped Dragunov at 600 meters
A Hawken rifle
 
Ma deuce was just a nickname given to the M2 like the M3 "grease gun". Ma=M Deuce=2. Some soldier called it that one day and it stuck.
