Okay, I'm guessing some will not want to answer this in as much as this is a public forum. So, if you are comfortable responding . . .

How big is your "arsenal?"

I have 11 long guns and 9 hand guns.

I have more guns in 22LR than any other caliber.

If I had kept every gun I've ever owned it would be 42 . . . but there would be a lot of safe queens.

Life is good.

I had 5 complete rifles, two ar pistols, a few spare uppers, two shotguns and three traditional handguns. Some hunting knives and a K-Bar half sword (not sure of the term). Not much compared to some people .... but the ammunition, I had so much ammunition, I can't even guess the amount.

But, I lost them all when my boat sank. :D

Well don't know for sure. At least 50 long guns. Maybe 12 shotguns and at least 30 handguns. It's not owning that many it's feeding them.
 
I'm not a collector or even a consider guns a "hobby". My guns are tools... some of them support other hobbies, but the guns themselves I consider more of a means to an end.

I have a few AR's, a .22lr bolt-gun trainer, a .22lr semi-auto rifle for teaching and fun, a semi-auto shotgun for HD and field work, a G19 for EVERYTHING, and a Ruger SR22 for teaching and fun.

I've had plenty more guns in the past, but found that 5 different rifles for deer, hogs, critters, coyotes, and such just didn't make sense... so I've got a really nice top-notch AR15 lower receiver with different uppers for different jobs. I got rid of my centerfire bolt-guns and AR10 because they just didn't get used anymore.

If I ever hunt anything bigger than white-tail where 6.8spc isn't enough, I'll probably build an AR10 in .338Federal. Some day I might want a backup CC gun and I'll grab a small Smith .38spl.

For now... my half-dozen'ish tools fill all current needs.

We won't get into how much ammo I have on hand... that would require a spreadsheet and keeping it hid from the wife!
 
I used to have a very modest collection by TFL standards. Unfortunately like rickyrick all my guns were lost in a tragic boating accident. That's my answer and I'm sticking to it!

Seriously though, how many, what variety, and how much ammo is a private matter in my view. While the interweb is often thought of as anonymous, it often is not. I may be a little paranoid, but I can live with that.:D
 
I have a few handguns ranging from .22 to .44 Magnum which I purchased new. I have a few shotguns including an inherited Winchester Model 1897 12 gauge. I have a few rifles including an inherited Winchester Model 1892 .25-20. I don't really have an arsenal, but my firearms (with the exception of home defense firearms) are in an expensive safe in an expensive tornado-proof safe room.

I have never heard of a .25-20. Seems like everytime I log in here, I end up doing google searches and learning something. As far as numbers of guns, i am under 50.
 
I guess I'm more of a minimalist. I don't need much more than what I have now. But my "arsenal" used to be between 15 and 20.

4 Handguns - multiple purposes

2 Centerfire Rifles - hunting

1 22 Rifle - plinking

1 12 Gauge - hunting
 
S&W 9mm 5906
S&W .357 Model 65
M&P 9mm Shield
Ruger 10/22
JC Higgins 12Ga
M&P FS and .38 Snub are on wish list
 
I'm down to 2.5.

A 30-30, a 20 gauge, and an AR lower.

I had to sell the rest to pay bills. If I ever get back on my feet financially, I will add a couple of 9mm handguns, a complete AR and an upper for the lower I have, plus a .22 rifle and pistol.

I don't need very many to cover what I would like as a minimum.

If you have more than 2 and a box of ammo, the news will call it an arsenal, anyway....

Besides, haven't you heard, its not the size of your arsenal that mattes, its what you do with it!!!
:rolleyes:
 
The last time I took a good look around my garage, I'd say I'm up to 1 lever action grease gun with a floppy hose, 2 caulking guns, and 2 staple guns. I know I bought a pop rivet gun, but danged if I can find it. Oh, and my wife has at least 2 hot glue guns.
