Now this is an all around working rifle, kevlar stock, match grade barrel,super slick action. Light enough to carry up and down a mountainside, accurate enough for comp shooting. Leave the military stuff to the military,and Rambo

What they can do is worth the weight :Up_to_som

Then again there is something to be said for death from above. Like the GAU-8/A. How about a Spectre.

Armament: two M61 20mm Vulcan cannons with 3,000 rounds
one L60 40mm Bofors cannon with 256 rounds
one M102 105mm howitzer with 100 rounds
One 25mm GAU-12 Gatling gun (1,800 rounds per minute)
one L60 40mm Bofors cannon (100 shots per minute)
one M102 105mm cannon (6-10 rounds per minute)

I already have my guns


I kiss them all the time.

For longer distances, M107 .50 Calibre....although mine would have a bigger scope for damn troublemakers at 1500m

A Glock 33, 9x19mm, in my coat inside pocket thing...


A Crvena Zastva M57 (7.62 x 22mm) on a belt holster on my left...


A Glock 18C Automatic Machine Pistol (9x19mm) on a belt holster on my right...


And two small .22 Derringers... one above each sock...


You think that would be enough? :

And if its all out war...

An Avtomat Kalashnikov Model 74 (AKM-74 or AK-74) with the bayonet, and possible a scope... (calibre - 5.45 x 39mm) and one of those M57's as a secondary.

Interesting thread by the way.
I hope you wouldnt have to run away, they would find you cause you would sound like a big bag of saucepans, LMAO :P

Gunns is going to have a rant here:

It is not a "Gun" It is a Firearm, Rifle, Pistol, Smallarm, Longarm or Weapon. A "Gun" is what the media call it, or it is something that you got under the Christmas Tree when you were 6 years old.

Before anyone says anthing about my user name, it is a nick name that was given to me due to my surname, and has nothing to do with firearms.

My perfered firearm

.50-cal. Barrett M82A1/M107
I have got a 50mm grouping @ 2.0km
Yes I am a member of the ADF.

Yes Gunns, i am ADF too. You may have noticed my Guns were the real type....except they are not mine.

I understand your point, but not everyone is a trained professionals. You say firearms, and some people my think about setting fire to thier arms LOL.

As for my shooting ability, lets say I was lucky to hit the inside of a barn once or twice.

Anti oinker - my lever action .375 Winchester. You hit it, its dead. Period. If you miss, you've wasted $2...
Scoped - the mercurial .270 Remington BDL bolt action. Superb mid range rifle for medium game.

Best varminter was the Remington 12 gauge pump. 8 shots of bunny blowing, fox f*****g, pig pasting power. Goverment paid me twice for that one because I had 2 barrels...

Agreed that they are firearms/rifles, not guns...

At least you're not a five mile sniper boasting about the size of your gun.

My old "gun" utilised 2000 ball bearings and 1/2 a kilo of explosive...... for aircraft but was effective against infantry and light skinned vehicles.

Best thing in the last few years was an old single shot lever action .303 Martini. Hell of a kick and for dodgy old iron sights was still pretty accurate.

.303 Martini was pure class. You could abuse them and they just keep asking for more. Once out of rounds you could alway grab it by the barell and club the pick to death.

That is very ture, but that is the media for you. If anyone can put a spin on a term its our friends the media.
The military use the term weapon only for the fact that we instruct the use of combat knives, grenades, firearms, mortars etc......

I was going to stay out of this but.......

Steffo, where do you get your info from?????

The Glock Model 33 is .357 SIG calibre not 9mm. The 9mm version is a Model 26 and the .40 cal is model 27. .357 SIG is basicly a 40 cal necked down to 9mm and is more than a handfull to use. I carried a Model 26 as a personal protection firearm for about 4 years replacing my M37 Smith so I have a bit of personal experience in this not just Playstation skill.

The CZ 57 is a copy of the Russian Tokarev and uses 7.62x25 not 7.62x22 ammunition. Once again I have fired hundreds if not thousands of rounds through these and their chinese copies and they are pricks of things. They get very hot and are hard to hold as the grip is quite small.

The PDW is fitted with a 15 rd mag. It has a very high cyclic rate and you will find that bursts of less than 6 rounds are difficult. The MP5A3 is better bet as it is not that much longer and fires more slowly allowing you to actually hit what you are aiming at before you run out of bangs.

The derringer is in 9mm not .22 and they are useless over about 10m.

The Glock you showed is a Model 18 not a 18C. The Model 18C has a longer barrel that had cuts in it to act as a compensator. They are incredibly noisy and cannot be used inside or next to walls etc because the redirected gas will at best annoy you and could actually cause damage to the user. Once again this is personal knowlege not playstation.

Owning a AK74 in this country would be silly as I have NEVER heard of ex-military 5.45x39 ammo here. The closest you will get here will be 220 russian (same cal but made in USA) and it will cost you about $2 to $3 per bang.


Now what is my favorite gun/firearm/weapon? Any that are not pointed at me...........
