Field and Streams conception of the 50 best guns ever made:

There actually were a dozen or so in the mix which I could agree with one way or another.

Here's a guy who would likely agree with one of the F&S choices along with a number of victims thereof:

Reminds me of a girl I once played volleyball with asking the guy with the Ducks Unlimited Tee shirt if he actually shot ducks with a shotgun... The guy replied something like

Yeah, I've shot lots of ducks, but they were ALL bad...

@gungasnake,
I can never understand the "sport" of dove hunting. Why not go out and whack bluebirds.

I ate dove once and its not remarkeable enough to actually go out and waste ammo and time.

@farmerman,
If there's any sort of a redneck sport I have problems with it has to be turkey hunting, particularly when turkeys go for as little as .40/lb at Wallies and particularly when most turkey hunting is done with shotguns which is ridiculous. A turkey would be sufficiently easy to kill with a 22LR while loading shotshells heavy enough to kill turkeys is near suicidal.

They neglected my favorite weapon for personal protection and varmint control.

the Davy Crockett

http://www.brookings.edu/FP/PROJECTS/NUCWCOST/davy6.jpg

It was the smallest and lightest nuclear weapon ever deployed by the U.S. military with a variable explosive yield of 0.01 kilotons (equivalent to 10 tons of TNT, or two to four times as powerful as the ammonium nitrate bomb which destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995), or 0.02 kilotons-1 kiloton.

The Davy Crockett consisted of an XM-388 projectile launched from either a 120-millimeter (XM-28) or 155-millimeter (XM-29) recoilless rifle (the 120 millimeter version is shown above). This weapon had a maximum range of 1.24 miles (120 millimeter) to 2.49 miles (155 millimeter). The XM-388 casing (including the warhead and fin assembly) weighed 76 pounds, was 30 inches long and measured 11 inches in diameter.

I dare anyone (down wind, of course) to **** with me while I'm wearing my "Davy" on my hip.


Other than that I remain loyal to my 5mm rimfire Remington; the best, most accurate rifle I ever owned.

and my newest Sig Sauer, the 9mm P229 which grip fits my hand with perfection.

See gunga even a lefty like me owns and appeciates firearms.

@kuvasz,
SO that's what a Davy Crockett looks like. I've heard of it before but never knew.

Being a former 13Bravo, I'm sentimental towards the M109 self propelled howitzer. Though I missed out on the Paladin experience.

Does anyone know what the heck this is?!

@djjd62,
If it lasts longer than four hours, consult your Colonel.

@gungasnake,
I believe in most all hunting as long as we eat what we kill. I hate trophy hunting (However, in AFrica, it does subsidize the conservation effots of countries like Botsawna).

I love most game meats except deer and dove (one is too gamey and the other is too damn small). I am a hyposrite however, cause I love quail. (I do often buy farm raised quail and butcher them myself). Im not seeing as many quail or grouse around anymore and dont even get me on pheasants.

@tsarstepan,
Could it be the same howitzer with optional silencer attached.

@roger,
Who would use that silencer? The mob? CIA assassins? Wink

@tsarstepan,
Like that, yeah. That's why it's camoflaged for concealed carry.

It is a M109 155mm self-propelled howizer in firing position.
