Coolest Guns

[Eightball]

For me, an MP5 was nifty, but the Tommy I fired was even better. But the MG34 I fired took the cake.

<The FG-42> was based of the MG42 design and could be either belt or box fed, so if you were using a mag it would stick out of the side. It was capable of single shots or full auto fire and was lightened to around 10lbs.

It was select-fire (and fired from a closed bolt on semi and an open bolt on full), but had no ability to use belts, just 10- and 20-round box mags. It was also not related to the MG42 at all. I haven't fired one, but I have had one in my hands.

Full Auto BAR, though a Barret .50 was pretty cool too.

 

[Big Daddy Grim]

Fired a mini-gun attached to a hummer man the fun. Best fun shoot I ever went to.

.55 cal Boys anti-tank rifle

These are a close follow up to an MP5. I would put them ahead of the 9mm but these are semi auto only, but unlike the MP5 there mine.

Semi auto Barrett, then the MP5, a very close second

M60A1 Main Battle Tank's 105MM's Gun.

Oh yeah, and when it was running right and you had the belts in the cupola tray just right, the M-85 .50 cal on high rate. Especially at night on a hard target. From the right angle, at 1000 rpm it looked like a red laser beam.

A plasma rifle in the 40 watt range ....OK OK I didn't really get to shoot one but neither did the terminator.

The "Mark 19":

Fire one of these beauties just once and you'll never go back to a mere pistol/rifle/machine gun.

[Lakeshore]

Broom handle Mauser. It's 100+ years old and still the coolest looking handgun I've ever seen.

 

[hatchetbearer]

too many to list. but
m16A4, M240B, M40A3, M136 LAW (AT-4), but i have to admit its tracer trainer was cooler, made a cool sound when the round was fired, instead of making you deaf

 

[m1009]

well, gotta say...

amongst all the ones owned /or shot; got to shoot a Stoner 63 at Knob Creek a few years back.....was told I was only the 2nd woman to shoot it! Nice little belt fed 223! Very easy to handle and shoot a belt thru.

 

[weisse52]

M60, M79

Old school

 

[DiTzMaN]

Original Army Issue Colt 1911 (not 1911A1) that was manufactured in 1913.

Cool for a different reason than most of the other posters. The long hammer pinched my web. I just get this cool feeling that the basic design has remained unchanged for so long. Kinda weird, but it made me feel like I was "particpating" in history. Also made me appreciate the modern 1911s like Kimber Stainless Target and Series 70 Gold Cups more.

Hey, If I had ever fired an original peacemaker from the 1800's, I would put that over an MP5, or AK.

[Tim the student]

I can't decide, I have been lucky enough to shoot lots of cool guns.

Maybe the M79 was my favorite though, because it's just so much cooler than a 203, and not many people in my age range have been able to shoot one, much less with HE.

Other than that, 240B and G are always way cool.

Rented Full Auto Thompson with Stick mags never burned 20 rounds a time so quick in my life. I spent 1 minute loading for 2 seconds of trigger time. I wish they would have had drums. Then again the rental was like $20 but I burnt $150 in ammo rather quickly. This was around 2001 so I can imagine what that outing would cost since the ammoflation.
