If you could have any gun, what would it be, and why? (self.guns)
submitted 3 months ago by leicanthrope
Just curious to see what people will come up with. For the purposes of this, discount specific unique firearms (the rifle that shot Kennedy, etc.), and focus on certain models that pique your interest for whatever reason.
[–]Travesura 18 points19 points20 points 3 months ago
I'll take this one, I guess.
[–]oregon105 6 points7 points8 points 3 months ago
you could sell it for scrap metal and buy a house
[–]damnclam 10 points11 points12 points 3 months ago
An H&K G11. I've always wanted to be able to fire caseless rounds at a 2000rpm burst rate.
[–]MechanicalCake 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
Good answer.
[–]HT10 8 points9 points10 points 3 months ago
Full Auto BAR. I have always loved that gun from the first day that my fascination with History and WW2 began.
[–]doooom 4 points5 points6 points 3 months ago
Same reason I want a Thompson. So much history and just a damn cool gun.
My Dad just told me a story the other day about how my Grandpa was told to carry a BAR when he deployed in France in WWII. He flat out refused. His reason: the guy carrying a BAR is going to be the prime target every time. He carried a Thompson for the extent of his service.

The Beretta 93r. It's like the bad-ass, bigger brother to my 92FS and I will likely never own one :(
[–]pegun 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
How do you like the 92FS? My answer to the thread would actually be a Beretta CX4, but I've heard the 92FS pistol is worth a look if I move away from the rifle desire.
[–]MidwestJackalope 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
It's a fine 9mm with some caviats. It's big and heavy but I also appreciate the stability. Also the only holster that I find comfortable with it is a drop leg, but I never really intended to carry it around. Some people love the da/sa some hate it. Personally I only shoot SA because I find the double's pull a bit long.
I like it for what it is, but it'll be a personal preference.
[–]oshaneo 5 points6 points7 points 3 months ago
I have always wanted a Five-Seven. Or F88 Styer, I have shot one and it was great.

AA-12, because it's one of the few things I want that doesn't have a civilian model I can buy.

Newb question: Why is that gun $5,000.00?
[–]Inthebackgroundalway 5 points6 points7 points 3 months ago
Cause only one person builds the gun by hand

Suppressed Rossi Ranch Hand, registered as an SBR and equipped with a folding collapsible reminiscent of the Uzi. I only have a rough idea of how the stock would work, don't ask for specifics.

my grandpa sold his years ago (in his deteriorating mental state, sadly) with everything matching numbers. everything was there and the stock was beautiful. it was going to my dad one day too. oh well.
[–]MustardCosaNostra 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
If it was sold to a good home....
all i am concerned about in that regard is that the family guns stay in the family

[–]MustardCosaNostra 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
I was going to say Mk.23 but I've fired that once already so that one is on my eventual bucket list. The M1932 is a pipe dream..
[–]megawhacko 4 points5 points6 points 3 months ago
I really want this gun. I love the way 1911s shoot and this is one that I could carry and pass down to future generations. http://wilsoncombat.com/new/handgun-cqb-lightrail-lightweight-professional.asp

Twin mounted .50cals that I can put in the back of a beat up old Toyota that is rusted yellow. So I can look like a Somali in Downtown Denver and scare the shit out of people. My wife thinks I'm crazy (Im white by the way but its doesn't mean I can't blare the music!)...but if I win Powerball...you'll know me when you see me!

Colt Python 6" with a nickel finish.
It's not an unobtainable gun, just one that I will probably never be able to afford.
[–]blorcit 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
I commented the same thing below, but up-voted you when I saw this. I've never wanted a gun so badly. The 6" in nickel is sooo insanely sexy.

I've always been curious about bullpup configuration rifles, especially the Steyr and Tavor. The latter of which I'll hopefully (but doubtfully) be getting to pick up around the end of the year. Since we're being sort of hypothetical here though...
The FAMAS. It's distinctive as hell, unavailable anywhere outside of video games and the very rare movie. It looks comfortable, and a couple of the airsoft versions I handled when I was younger handled very nicely (even if they were sweatshop peices of crap).
I'm going to stop talking now before I end up listing half the guns I'm interested in but likely will never own. =p
[–]Deep__Thought 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago
It changes every day, but right now I'd love an H&K SL-8. I need a range toy in 5.56 (shooting the PTR gets expensive) and I'm not really into the AR scene and I don't like the way the SCAR looks (call me shallow, whatever). The SL-8 has great sights, and an actual rail (contrary to my PTR, claw mounts are expensive), really comfortable stock and neat features, plus I'm a sucker for their cocking mechanism.
[–]fromkentucky 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
I can't stand the way stock looks on a SCAR either, otherwise I'd love one.
[–]Deep__Thought 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
Someone said it right yesterday on the "im FN crazy" post, it looks like an UGG boot.

M249 SAW. If not for the pure awesomeness of it, the resale value on a transferable one is insane

I kinda want a medusa revolver.
[–]Indig 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago
I really want an MSG90. Maybe that way I can stop bringing my mosin to the range and missing every other shot at 200 yds.

I want to thing of something exotic and awesome, but the first gun that comes to mind is a P90. Video games gave me a love for that futuristic looking gun.
[–]kaisersousa 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
I've recently become fascinated with the Bofors AK5. Not sure if they're even available in the US - that's probably part of it. That and my innate fascination with all things Swedish.
[–]Ting413 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
H&K USP compact with a threaded barrel and nice gemtech silencer. I hate gun restrictions. But I guess those restrictions is what keeps the public safe. Sigh....
[–]closet_superhero 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
I want a full auto SMG chambered in .22lr. Even after I finish up pharmacy school I could never justify the kind of money I would spend shooting 9mm that way. .22 on the other hand, I could shoot all day for less than a hundred dollars.
MP5 style...
[–]FishWash 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
I've always wanted a Walther P22, ever since I saw one for the first time. There's something about the shape of the grip and the rest of the gun together that just really looks good to me.
[–]doooom 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
A P22 was my first real handgun (in other words, not counting my Phoenix Arms 22 I had a long time ago). They're a blast. You won't get accuracy like a Ruger Mark III due to the short barrel but that's not necessarily a bad thing, depending on why you want it. They're also a little picky about ammo, but CCI Mini Mags work great and aren't expensive.
In other words, buy one! They're fun ammo sprayers.
Another vote for the P22. I love mine, I've put at least 500 rounds through it and it's a great starter gun. My girlfriend even loves it, and she prefers rifles to anything else.

The gun that shot Archduke Ferdinand of Austria. This gun triggered WW1, which essentially set the stage for most every war since whether it be directly or indirectly.

VSS Vintorez. Doubles a both an Assault Rifle and a Long Range sniper's rifle.
[–]Voxxer 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
A SR-1911, made in 2011, that would be my pistol. As for a rifle, I would go with a Classic, Russian made AK-47. I could shoot both of these, but take great care of them and still not feel guilty. Then, down the road they would both be collectibles.

Then I'd sell it for $820K and well...
[–]Zak 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
Staying away from things with little practical value to me, I'd like a Mateba Model 6 Unica in .454 Casull.
It's hard to put my finger on why I want it. .454 can kill anything in North America, but the Mateba is comparable in size to normal large-frame revolvers (e.g. most .44s) unlike the more powerful X-frames and BFRs. The autorevolver concept is probably more of a gimmick than anything, but I still think it's cool, as is the bottom-aligned barrel.

[–]ucecatcher 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
Somebody give Jim March a crate of Mateba Autorevolvers, a dedicated machine shop, and a couple years worth of operating costs in cash with the goal of designing a gun for production. I'll be glad to take the first mutated monstrosity that comes off the line when he's done and the rest of you can just say "Thank You" (once we are able to figure out which end is supposed to go bang, which I suspect may be difficult).
