If you could only have one gun...

AC556. It's got a 13" barrel, folding stock, semi, triburst and full-auto. I can easily find replacement barrels. Not quite a pistol, not quite a carbine - just the right size!
 
Haha sorry if this has come up before (which I'm sure it has) but I'm new here and just thought it'd be a fun question. Honestly I've never owned a handgun yet so I can't speak from experience there but I do own a few shotguns and an ar and I've got to say, even for that casual shooting at whatever is crawling around in the trees my 12 guage gets used way more so I guess I'd have to go with that :)
 
But then again I like watching something disappear more than I like punching a hole in it from 300 yards but hey I know a few guys who love it!
 
I'd go for a military bolt rifle if I could only have one. preferably a mauser 98k, or SMLE. I'm not a fan of mosins, but I wouldn't complain about having one.

They're good at distance, good for hunting, and are built like clubs. they also have spikey attachments, and with practice will do nicely for things that are close, or rather, too close.
 
Probably my AR. Not because I believe it is the best weapon out there. But, I do believe it is the platform I am most capable with after being in the military for 21 years.
 
Remington 870 Express Super Magnum 12ga. When my wife and I were first married 20yrs. ago in august that was the first gun I got. It was a Christmas present from her. Its capable of killing anything I would likely encounter and its an almost perfect home defense weapon as well. It covers all the bases good enough.
 
12 Gauge pump with 3 barrels, one rifled for use with sabots (big game), one with choke tube options (fowl) and one 18'' for defensive purposes. a couple of different stocks thrown into the mix and its more like several guns than just one.
 
For me it would be my Marlin 1894 in 357 magnum. Since I reload for it I can make it work for deer, small game and as a self defense weapon. Being able to add a shotgun and I would be set for all I would really need. But one or two guns only? Who would want that?:eek:
 
It depends on where I'm living. Around here it would be a tough choice between a K frame 357 with a 4 inch barrel (CC, targets, home defense, and deer hunting).

The only thing that prevents me from picking a 12ga pump is the fact that it can't be concealed. Very tough choice.
 
For a long time all I could afford was one gun, and it was a 12 gauge Winchester 1200 pump shotgun. The last I heard it still is the most powerful small arm in the world. And its efficacy is waaay under-rated.

If portability is necessary then a Glock 19.
 
Hmm. The Raging Judge Magnum. You get a shotgun, old cowboy cartridges, and high power modern cartridges in one gun! Plus, I'd imagine you could put a stock and longer barrel on it and have a weird, but functional .454 rifle!
 
Since it's just one gun, it has to be a rifle, which is effective both close and at distance. It should be semiauto for CQB with multiple targets. Probably an AR or AK. One has a slight edge for accuracy and lightweight ammo, the other, reliability and lower maintainance.
