The Ten Manliest Firearms

[USMA-82]

Was doing some googling, and ran across this. Didn't see it here previously, so I thought I'd share:

http://www.arthurshall.com/x_2007_manly_firearms.shtml

By the way, I do currently have seven of the the ten, and working on the last three...

#1 may be a challenge, but I do have friends with greater resources than I who like to share.

Enjoy!

I have all but the Swiss.

And it's entirely possible you will have your ass handed to you by a 13 year old girl shooting a select-fire StG90 assault rifle that she carried to the range from school, slung across her back while pedaling her bicycle. Swiss GIRLS are better men than most allegedly-male American liberals.

Great write-up accompanying the list.

You would[sad2]

Want to adopt me?

I have 3

Did anyone notice that the AK shown is milled?

And, I've got some shopping to do.

Fred:

I can't believe you don't have the Swiss! That's the cheapest, easiest to get of the bunch!!!

 

[dwarven1]

Um... why is not the M1 Garand on the list? I would have thought that the "greatest implement of battle ever devised" would surely have made it.

but the writeups are truly hysterical, even with his egregious omission.

I just never got around to it yet or was offered one.

2/10

I got some catching up to do.

 

[Pilgrim]

I've got 6.


A GLOCK !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[TonyDedo]

Excellent, a shopping list!

At the moment I only have one from the list (Colt 1911), but I do have a Mossberg 590A1 - does that make up for not having the Remington?

Otherwise, my C&R (should arrive today???) will help me check off half that list in no time!

In Switzerland, at age 5 while you're learning to ride a bike, their kids are learning to field strip, clean, and re-assemble multiple weapons. I had my ass handed to me one day by an 8 year old Swiss kid who cleaned his WASR-10 faster than I. I knew I should have moved to Switzerland.

Yeah, same for me with the Barrett M82 .50 cal.....

Was doing some googling, and ran across this. Didn't see it here previously, so I thought I'd share:

I wonder what you were googling for that you came across this? "Manly weapons in pink"? "Is weapon. Kills people. Pounding fists"?

2 for 10 ..................and a bunch that did'nt make the list.

 

[USMA-82]

Believe it or not, I was discussing the choice between visiting Hawaii or going to Octoberfest in Germany with someone in the office. In hoping to sway the conversation with some visual incentives to prove my point, I googled "Octoberfest Girls"

That website showed up....

5 out of 10, but some of them I have more than one (or two), of.

 

[Chris]

OK, the S&W model 29 is a good entry, but to advocate loading with .44 Special? I thought we were talking REAL man guns. And frankly I'd have to advocate that any X-frame now trumps that entry.

I'm missing 4. And the Barret and Glock will likely never grace my safes. Crap, make it 5, my Enfield is not a Short Model I don't think.

The others are an AR (Yes, I don't have an AR, just never got into shooting poodles although I've toyed with the idea of the .50 Beowulf chambering) and the Remington 870 (Not much of a shotgun shooter. Only shotgun I own was purchased because I thought a bolt action mag fed adjustable choke shotgun was a neat oddity and was cheap at only $75)

That site is hilarious. Check out the writeups on tobacco while you're there.

Great write-up accompanying the list.

I liked this line too, but honestly how many stories like this do most people need to see, to understand that shooting guns isn't necessarily some testosterone HE-MAN thing. It is pretty much a myth of the uninformed.

At first I was irked that the 1911 wasn't number one.
Then I remembered:
"So why do you carry a .45?"
"Because they don't make a .50"

 

[csharpdev]

How is this S&W Model 500 Revolver not on the list... (they even have a "compact" version)

# Most Powerful Production Revolver in the World Today
# Massive 500 S&W Magnum® Cartridge with 2600 ft/lb. Muzzle Energy



I also agree that that M1 Garand and/or M1903 should be on the list .30-'06 is one nice round.

 

[Rockrivr1]

I have 7 out of 10. Ok, I don't have the Barrett, but I have a 50 BMG from another maker so I'm counting it.

I'm also one who's missing the K-31. It's one with the lowest cost, but I just don't have the urge to get one. Not yet that is.

Hummmm, don't understand the Glock in this list. There are several other firearms that should of been on the list before that one.

 

[drgrant]

The fact that the M1 Garand is not on the list is pretty shameful.

Also, I would have put the S+W 500 in place of a Glock. I would
have had more respect if they had said "Glock 20" or "Glock 29".

FWIW, it's not that I hate glocks, I just don't think they really
belong on such a list.

That pic of the chicks with the ARs is awesome. That girl has a hot pink AR!!! There is something so very wrong and yet so incredibly cool about that at the same time.

Really!
The K31 over the Garand!?!? Wow.

It's only wrong because you have a perception of what it should be (black and scary). It's a mechanical device, nothing more.

Really!

Agree. That omission alone makes the the rest of the choices suspect.

How on earth can an antiquated rifle that never fired a shot in anger be considered more manly than the rifle that did more than any other to crush Hitler and Tojo?

 

[Jose]

The dude does have some good lines:

John Moses Browning is the patron saint of shooters and weapon designers. This was a man so manly that his sole purpose in life was to create weapons to kill tasty animals and the enemies of our nation in job lots.

When the revolting scum start rioting like chimps and burning cars in the streets of America, it will quickly come to a stop because of Viking-sired rednecks with Remington 870 pump action shotguns.

In other words, as guns go, it is very well hung.

The USMC (the manliest men of the manliest military on the planet, and true Vikings—shipboard warriors who strike fear into their enemies just by existing)

However, the only acceptable caliber for a man to carry is .45 ACP

so any guests you have during the Collapse can be outfitted as they receive Enlightenment. Then they can rape, kill, sack and loot with the rest of the men who secure a new Dark Ages to hasten the new renaissance. It will be a manly duty

.40S&W is a wussified 10mm that the FBI created when it found out its agents weren't manly enough for 10mm
