Get two CZ 5s and two cases of ammo and then blaze away.
Customize the heck out of one.
It 'll be a lot of fun.

id say get a few mosins. thats what im going to do.
there are many varieties available and ammo is still reasonably cheap.
plus the looks you get at the range firing a big long rifle with a bayonet attached are priceless.

For a "Fun Gun" as well as a good hunting rifle, I would go with a Sharps 45-70 and load it with appropriate Black Powder loads.

Great suggestions there guys! Some of you have mentioned the Saiga 12, SKS, Mosin Nagant so here are the guns that I currently have..........
Glock 23
SKS
Browning 300 Ultra Mag (another one of my big and loud guns)
Mosin Nagant M91/35
Converted Saiga 12 gauge (semi-auto for those of you who do not know!)
Old Savage .410 over .22LR
The SKS, Mosin Nagant, and espeically the Saiga 12 are some FUN guns to shoot! I am looking to get something that I dont already have although I was thinking of getting a M44 to add to my Mosin Magant collection. I heard that since the M44 was shorter.... it produces much more muzzle flash and is much louder

If it's all about muzzle blast and recoil, then get a Savage Striker in 308Win or 300WSM.

Dude...
Loud? Destructive??
Get an AR with a .50 Beowulf upper...you can add other fun calibers as time goes on, but trust me...the .50 Beowulf is a HOOT!

I have to second the M44 motion. Cheap, loud, and pushy. Everything I look for in a wo... er, fun gun.

If you like long jets of flame belching from a pistol with rifle-like lockup and velocity - look no further than a CZ52. They're cheap too. Nothing like folks wandering up at the range and asking "What *IS* that thing?"

I am a firm believer that everyone should own a .22, a shotgun, a 30-30 and a .223 AR of good quality. Someone please disagree with me. Essex

What about violent felons?
Sorry, it was the only flaw in that argument I could come up with...

Can't go wrong with a 91/30, or even better a Finn.
My 300 Ultra Mag is significantly more powerful than the 300 WSM! The first time I shot my 300 Ultra Mag before I had a brake put on it... i was like 
After someone suggested the .50 Beowulf.... I googled it and it looks pretty darn bad ass. The only thing is that it is a rifle that can only be mostly used at close range, but then again I do not think that would bother me. How is the recoil in the .50 Beowulf.....brutal I hope!! Get any flashes outta these too????

Give some thought to a .22 Ruger Bearcat. They are stylish, well-made, relatively accurate, easy on the hands, and they won't set you back an arm and a leg in ammo costs. The single-action revolver is no doubt under-appreciated in this age of polymer-framed wonderweapons, but the dog-gone things are just plain fun to shoot.

Fun gun?
Nothing like popping targets with a lever action.

I have to agree with the posters who have already mentioned the PLR 16 if your two main criteria are LOUD and FUN. Although any of the big handguns would also fill this role, they lose their fun factor real quick. A contender handgun with one of the 10" barrels in most chamberings would also fill this role.

I own a 500 S&W and I love it, its one of my fun guns/ hunting pieces. youd probably like it, if I were you Id get a 50BMG if you have the money/ can handle saving a couple more months...(especially if you handload).
The 300RUM sounds good too, especially for hunting. But the cost of factory ammo is BS compared to 300Win Mag, So I bought the 300 Win because the 300RUM isnt gonna do that much more especially for $25-$30 MORE per box. So Id rather go for something like a 375H&H for the price if you want to pay $50 a box (just about the same price as the 300RUM) and have an Alaskan or Safari game rifle.

Get a .50 BMG. The smile on your face after you shoot one will be worth it.
If that's not practical for you, then get a Desert Eagle in .50 AE and see if you can't find an AR upper in .50 AE. Makes a nice pair
