Lee Marvin was flatout tough.
Watch "King of the North" no guns in the movie, but it's a hell of a movie and Lee Marvin fights Ernest Borgnine in it.
I have to give honorable mention to Sylvester Stallone for firing a Light Antitank Weapon (LAW) inside a Huey Helicopter...
Usually when you fire those things you yell "BACKBLAST AREA CLEAR ??? !!! "
Of course no one in the back got killed and the helicopter still functioned.

"A soldier of fortune is the man called...
...PALADIN"!
The quintessential gunfighter for hire, in Have Gun, Will Travel, the most stylized TV western ever; played by Richard Boone, whom TV Guide once called "The ugliest man on TV".
Paladin would quote from classic literature, draw his custom made, perfectly balanced and tuned sixgun from a holster bearing his personal logo (the chess knight, the most versatile piece on the board) and dispatch the bad guys with diligentia, vis and celeritas.
Paladin also introduced the concept of the backup gun, the Derringer he hid behind his belt buckle.
Didja know that many of the episodes were written by Gene Roddenberry, who went on to write Star Trek? So I consider it a lucky twist of fate that we had Richard Boone as Paladin and William Shatner as Capt. Kirk, and not the other way around!
By me, it's no contest: Paladin all the way! Although I, too, am in love with NCIS's Ziva!

Bingo. Bruce Lee said Steve McQueen was probably the toughest guy he ever trained. McQueen and guns? The Getaway. Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson are legendary. Marvin was Chuck Norris's favorite actor to work with. And don't forget Bronson's "Macho" speech about John Wayne. I'd like to thank Charlie for giving me the definition of macho. Until tonight, I didn't know what the hell it meant.
Today's tough guys are also shown to be good with guns on the screen; The Losers and The Expendables come to mind. Steven Seagal is supposedly as good with a 1911 as his characters are purported to be on the screen. And how about Jesse Ventura firing a GE Minigun in Predator. Payback time! And Arnold's John Matrix in Commando, probably my all-time favorite cheesy flick. Leave anything for us? Just bodies.
