If you won a contest, what gun would you choose?

[MeekAndMild]

A vintage BAR with a detailed history of where it has been and who carried it...

The history would be more important that the gun. Maybe the battle for Sicily or the seige of Bastogne, maybe Midway Island, maybe Okinawa, perhaps the Chosin resevoir.

MP5/10.

[gmoney]

Probably a MP5, M14 or a Barrett 10 round semi-auto ( M82 ? )

 

[smithyman]

MP5

 

[GeorgeF]

Either a Steyr-Hahn model 1916 (with Shoulder Stock) or one of the Star Model machine pistols based on the 1911 (I would prefer the .45 version but 9mm would do in a pinch).

 

[guy sajer]

I would want back the Winchester M1918 BAR that I sold .

 

[nobanforme]

have to go with an UZI... Just for fun

 

[CQBArms]

A transferable minigun....a license to print money if there ever was one.

 

[CobrayCommando]

An XM-214 5.56 minigun capable of firing 10,000 rounds per minute, so I can mount it on a humvee and mow down infantry.

If thats not available, http://www.american180.com/history/quadmt.html
for mounting on a Cessna. Again for mowing down infantry.

A phased plasma rifle in the 40 kilowatt range.

 

[fed168]

Oh boy. Probably an FG-42 if I could find it, or a BAR.

 

[jbkalla]

Oooh! Oooh! The new (soon to be designated) M8! With all attachments/modifications.

 

[GoSlash27]

/edit not quite right, tho'. It needs the navy ambidextrous selector

 

[BryanP]

A full auto M16A2, if only because there are so many uppers I could then put on it.

Failing that, probably a real AK or an RPK.

 

[PMDW]

The XM8 will never be adopted by the military.

That'd be my choice

 

[Danindetroit]

HK21E
or
BAR Model 1922 and some custom 30 to 40 rd mags

 

[ETCss Phil McCrackin]

Although some have already mentioned it, the FG-42 would be my choice.

 

[NGP58]

BAR first choice,then maybe an M2.

 

[DarkKnight01]

mp5

ive always loved this weapon... its EXTREMELY reliable...

 

[Derius_T]

Mmmmmm.........M240 Bravo................

Or maybe an M249 SAW. AWESOME WEAPON!



Or for concealed carry, a glock g18c. also awesome weapon.

Man I need to learn how to post pictures on here. Not much beats a SAW.

 

[Chiram2003]

I guess I should have placed the limitation on choices" "You must pick an item which would be possible to legally own." Reason I mention this is that HKMP5SD chose the FN P90. As far as I know, this item is of such new production, none are legally transferable in the USA. Well, come to think to it, I didn't stipulate the purchase had to be made in this country, did I?

Actually, some SWAT teams are now switching to the FN P90. However, they are still illegal for civilian purchase. But they sure are fun to shoot!
