That was funny, thanks

I have five which are on the list (multiples thereof in several cases) and had a sixth but sold it.

I am very surprised that the M-1 Garand was not on his list.

 

[Feral]

nice reading...i need to add all 10 to my wish list

 

[dreppucci007]

As little use as it would get. I'd LOVE the Barrett M82 < DROOL >

 

[EddieCoyle]

I have 9 out of 10. The list should really begin and end with the S&W 500 though. The Model 29 is for little girls.

evidently a real man wouldnt be cought dead with my G19 I wish I saw this before

 

[FalArAk]

He obviously has no idea what he is talking about because there is no FAL..That top 10 list failed.

They forgot a real man's submachine gun, the Chicago typewriter:

I like Tommy-guns a lot

Glad I'm a woman then. Can't stand shooting them. Give me an M-16 and a few thousand rounds and I'm a happy girl.


Oh- and the list was good, but he should have put M-16 instead of AR-15. Need to be able to turn it up to 11...

This was hilarious.He def. should've added the .308 m1A.I agree w/ the S&W 500 magnum too...I have one and makes the model 29 look like a .38.

 

[Rockrivr1]

Have 7 out of 10. Definitely would swap a few items on the list. Garand, lever actions, etc'.

 

[FPrice]

He did leave some room for other weapons:

There are certainly other manly weapons, and you may have a different list. As long as the list contains nothing French, gold-plated, .25 or with pearl grips (which Patton correctly observed are the mark of a New Orleans pimp), it is a good list.

Honestly though, no one will ever agree 100% on the manliest guns ever. Everyone has different tastes/opinions. I agree with most of them but yes, the M1 should have been there, and a whole bunch of others but its only 10. Also, if its "guns" and not small arms then shouldn't a gatling gun be on there? Forget what its called but it basically spits rounds out like a faucet water. bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Mini gun. Never shot it, but it makes me giggle like a school girl with a crush whenever I hear it.

I have heard up close (less than 200 feet) a USN Phalanx Close In Weapon System firing.

It uses a radar controlled GE 20 mm hydraulically operated six barrel Gatling gun which fires at approximately 6000 rounds per minute. It is a fearsome weapon, to say the least.

 

[PaulD]

The guy has an unnatural pre-occupation with Vikings. He also dissed jazz which is very manly.

Finally, he should have included the Remington 700.

 

[badmotorfinger]

After checking that list, I may need to sit down when I take a leak... Since I only own 2 SIGS and 1 Mossberg and neither made the list (Glock and Remington) maybe I should go and purchase a pink scooter as well.


F that!

Yep, that is one awesome sound. Unless it jams as an A4 flys past towing a fake missile target. [sad2] Then, not so much.
