The Top 10 Guns Of All Time begins... NOW!!!
10) Heckler and Koch MP5
This is the coolest submachine gun ever built. I mean how cool was it in the movie Die Hard. “Now I have a machine gun too. Ho, Ho, Ho”. When you see someone carrying one of these you know some bad shit is about to go down. There are so many configurations with this gun that sometimes it is almost unrecognizable. I personally think the grip handle on the front is the best look for this little badass of a gun.
9) Ruger 10/22
The king of .22 rifles. This gun can be modified in more ways imaginable with the huge assortment of accessories out there. This is another one of those guns that every enthusiast must have. It is cheap fun and it is extremely accurate.
8) Barrett BMG
Any gun that can take out someone from over a mile away is one of the best guns ever built. Considering that it is chambered in .50 cal means that the bullet is going to be heavy. To think that an expert marksman can put that big bullet into the target at over 5,280 feet is simply astonishing.
7) Remington Model 700
The quintessential hunting rifle. This gun has been to every continent and killed every animal on that continent. The folks at Remington knew what they were doing when they built this rifle. Not only is it used by almost every hunter in North America, it is used by multiple law enforcement agencies as a sniper rifle. The possibilities are endless with this rifle and without it, hunting and hostage negotiation would not be what they are today.
6) Remington 870 Wingmaster
The shotgun that everyone should own. The Wingmaster is the single most produced shotgun ever and it is the most reliable shotgun ever. Duck hunters have been known to drop these into mud and still have the ability to shoot ducks after they clear the barrel of any obstruction. Law enforcement adapted the Wingmaster to riot control and to this day you will see an 870 on any bird hunting trip. This shotgun reigns supreme for hunting, law enforcement, and home protection.
5) Sig 226
One of the best handguns ever designed and executed. The gun is single action or double action with a perfect weight and balance to it. The decocking lever allows the shooter to safely neutralize the weapon without fear of accidental fire. The 226 fits the hand perfectly and the high capacity magazine provides the additional rounds needed for modern day law enforcement. At first it was chambered in 9mm but with the rise of the .40 S&W the manufacturer added .40 to the list.
4) Glock
Any model. Ugly as homemade sin but one of the most reliable and safe handguns ever built. It’s a favored gun by any and all who shoot, want to shoot, or think they are a gangster. If you consider yourself a gun enthusiast and you don’t own a Glock, well, you really aren’t an enthusiast.
3) M1 Garand
This rifle was the modern replacement for the bolt action WWI Springfield rifle. It is chambered in .308 and is a workhorse of a firearm seeing duty in all major conflicts from WWII through Vietnam. This rifle allowed the soldier to shoot semi automatically, reload faster, and continue a barrage of bullets while taking out an enemy position. The variants from the M1 Garand continue in service today.
2) Browning BAR
This rifle is pure viciousness. Chambered in .30/06 (yes .30/06!!) and fitted with a 20 round magazine, this rifle literally shoots through anything. It isn’t controllable when held in the hands but it isn’t meant to be held. It is a heavy pig of a gun that grunts out loud noises and thereby creates a psychological warfare device. There are stories of entire platoons hitting the ground when they heard a BAR go off. Yes it is just that bad. Clyde Barrow used to take BARs and saw them off for robbing banks.
1) Colt 1911
Hands down this is the single most identifiable firearm of all time. It is also the best design ever created for a sidearm. Chambered in .45 Automatic Colt Pistol, it is a hand cannon that anyone can control with a little practice. This sidearm is still the favored weapon of servicemen and competition shooters all over the world. Many thought that the 8 round capacity of 7 + 1 was not enough but those people couldn’t be more incorrect. 1 round from a .45 anywhere on the human body will stop the person. You cannot say the same about the 9mm or .40 S&W.
