    For purely aesthetic reasons, I'll have to say my favourite handgun would be the SVI handguns. Those are secks on a platter! Or som'n.

    Revolvers are also quite lovely to look at. Mateba's I would rate quite highly up there. Might have something to do with the only firearm I've ever fired was a revolver but meh.

    Oh, and them winchester lever action rifle things are also pretty cool.

    (and yes, you can tell I'm not really a gun nut)

    how did the mateba handle, zerobyte?? i've never even held one >_<

    and yeah, behind an m240. in the USMC, to be exact :3

    Heh, I can see how that might be mis-construed. No, I didn't fire a Mateba. Just a wimpy police training revolver (a .22 iirc).

    By Richard W. Stevens
    Editor, The Bill of Rights Sentinel

    Here's the question:

    "Why do you so strongly oppose the government's registering firearms and licensing gun owners? Every car is registered; every driver is licensed or should be. Cars are important and dangerous. Guns are important and dangerous. So what's the problem with gun registration and owner licenses?"

    It's a tough question because it draws on the everyday example of automobiles, and most everybody seems to accept state regulation of cars and drivers. Many pro-gun people have real trouble answering this question, and some among us have even surrendered the point.

    Logic and history prove that gun registration and owner licensing pose grave threats to life and liberty. But we need to deliver a powerful answer to the question without the social studies lesson. The answer needs to be a fast effective sound bite.

    So we are offering the following three-reason package below. This formula is the "long version." If you need to give a quicker answer, then just give the first sentence of each reason. You can deliver the "long version" in 45 seconds - and the "short version" answer in less than 30 seconds.

    Three Reasons in a Nutshell

    Here is the answer you can give:

    (1) Practically speaking, registration and licensing laws do not affect criminals, they only affect innocent citizens.

    (2) Fundamentally speaking, citizens in a free society do not have to get permission from anyone to exercise their right to self-defense, just as they don't need permission to freely speak or worship. Licensing and registration schemes require citizens to get permission to defend themselves, so those schemes don't belong in a free society.

    (3) Historically speaking, registration and licensing have been part of "gun control" programs that made possible the calculated mass murder of between 70 and 170 million people. Registration and licensing make genocide easier, not harder. I fight against genocide and I don't want to make genocide easier anywhere in the world.

    How to Use the Answer

    This answer is only 120 words at the most, so you can memorize it. It's pretty easy to memorize because it makes perfect sense.

    Why memorize it? Because, when you are challenged, you need to seize the initiative. A snappy but profound quick answer gives no opportunity for interruptions. Speed and power are critically important when the questioner is hostile or you are being interviewed for radio or television. You don't want to have to think of the answer - you need to deliver it immediately.

    After you give the "long version" answer, you can turn the tables on the questioner. Ask this zinger question:

    "Now that you know the truth about registration and licensing, how can you support those ideas?"

    Dealing With The Objections

    Objection # 1: "Driving a two-ton car at 60 mph is a privilege, not a right. Owning a lethal weapon should be considered a privilege, too."

    Your answer: "Driving a car on tax-funded roads might subject you to the tax-funded government regulations. Exercising the right to self defense, however, doesn't depend on tax-funded resources and should never require anybody's permission."

    Objection # 2: "Gun registration and owner licensing helps police solve crimes, just like the cars' license plates and the drivers' licenses."

    Your answer: "License plates and driver's licenses don't prevent any crimes, they only help track suspects after the fact. Serious criminals frequently use stolen cars and plates; many drive without valid licenses. Likewise, serious criminals will not be licensed and will use unregistered or stolen guns, and the tracking feature is worthless anyway if the cops don't find the gun."

    Objection #3: "You're just paranoid; don't you trust our government to license and register deadly weapons while preserving your right to shoot?"

    Your answer: "Wrong question. The government is supposed to answer to you and me. Why does the government so distrust the vast majority of decent non-violent firearms owners that it wants to identify and track every owner and every firearm?"

    Handguns,

    GLOCK 22 in .40 caliber
    Im a huge Glock fan, extremley durable handgun that comes in 9mm, .40, .45 .357Sig and 10 mm too if i remember correctly,

    too bad they screwed it up so much in counter strike....

    Second place,
    Pretty much any K Frame S&W .357mag/.38Special Revolover
    and
    S&W Model 6906 in 9mm

    I like H&K handguns a lot but I dont have any to shoot on a regular basis.

    Submachine guns/carbines

    H&K MP5 in 9mm,
    M4 carbine
    Ruger .223 Mini-14

    My cousin has a Barret .50BMG sniper rifle that he won free at a gunshow raffle,

    it's basically a slightly enlarged .45ACP cartridge. would you say there's no need for the .45ACP?

    it's almost the same thing, and it really just comes down to personal preference.

    Do you prefer an incredibly exspensive, rare cartidge over a readily availible cartidge?

    it's not SUPER duper expensive.. and not that rare, either. you can buy it directly from the factory.

    as for what <b>i prefer</b>, i'm not really looking to buy a model 1. and it hasn't been selling record numbers, either.

    but look at the new S&W .500 cartridge and its matching revolver. it's selling like crazy.

    it's really all about personal preference.

    edit: after all, that's why there are so many different guns in use today.

    Yea, my favorite Glock is the 20 (10mm), with the 18 (9mm select-fire) in a close second. Third favorite Glock is the Glock 31 (.357).

    Mine would have to be the G11 by Hechler and Koch. Uses caseless rounds, is a fully automatic AR and a high ammo count on each soldier (I think a clip was like 80 rounds and a soldier could carry ten of em.)

    Fave pistol: Colt M1911
    Fave rifle: Either Mauser K98 or Mosin-Nagant (can't remember the number)
    Assault rifle: pffft. None. They're certainly powerful guns, but there's not an AR out there that has <i>sex appeal</i> like other guns do. Not one. I guess if I had to pick one the FAMAS is okay.
    SMG: Either some variant of the H&K MP5, or one of those PDWs; the H&K MP7, or the FN-P90.

    Finally, anything that Metal Storm produces is 1337 in my book.

    I don't know if you've noticed, but my favorite SMGs both excel in indoors/close quartets combat. They don't have the accuracy of the HKs, but the MAC-10 will certainly work well in apartment buildings - er I mean counter-terrorism.

    Pistol: Colt 1911. There's just something sexy about .45ACP. Personally, I think that every person should be issued a 1911 upon birth.

    Sub-Machine Gun: Auto-Ordnance Thompson 1919. The Tommy was good enough for cops, criminals and later the U.S. military. Uses .45ACP, so it gets sexiness points. It also kicks it in Call of Duty and Day of Defeat, so yet more bonus points for happy video game application.

    Rifle: Lee-Enfield. When people say that it has a smooth action, they <i>aren't</i> kidding.

    Assault Rifle: AK-47/74. They're just so dang tough. You can abuse the hell out of them and they still keep working. However, the XM-8 is looking to be a solid weapon.

    Machine Gun: Browning M-2HB .50, aka "Ma Deuce." It's powerful, accurate and it has 80 years of service under it's belt.


    Just as a side-note for Maveric, you'd need a backpack of extra barrels too. The MG-42 was well known for it's ability to heat up and require barrel changes every 250-300 rounds of sustained fire. Fortunately for the MG-42's users, the barrel change was relatively easy and each weapon came with two or three extra barrels.
