Can’t sleep . . .
I don’t know much about guns, but I like the big one my husband keeps beside the bed . . . I could shoot it if I needed to . . .
I like my Brinks alarm system a whole lot, too . . .
January 12th, 2008 at 12:51 amsomething tells me that this tazer will be a success for Valentine’s day ; anyway, if I had to live in big cities, I certainly would rely on it.

and…my riffle… and… my poneys
January 12th, 2008 at 3:10 amLofty, I prefer my pepper spray. Not much bigger than my hand, keep it in my pocket I keep my phone in. Don’t need it where I live, but I feel a little safer when I go to Center City Philadelphia. I have no reason to go to the neighborhoods where they shoot each other everyday and rarely does anything ever happen in Center City, but, hey, you never know.
January 12th, 2008 at 3:25 amWell, I don’t know what my top five would be, but it would have to include the Remmington 870 and the 1911 45ACP.
January 12th, 2008 at 3:48 amForgot to mention my five favorites, five hydrogen bombs. Excellent behavior modifiers.
January 12th, 2008 at 3:52 amApache,F-22,AA-12,Javelin,and my Thompson Center 50 cal. Greyhawk
January 12th, 2008 at 4:56 amJust one. An American with a rifle. Best weapon ever.
January 12th, 2008 at 5:09 amMy favorite is always the one that I am carrying or have at hand at the time that it needs to be put to use.
I am a wheeelgun and combat knife man generally, however, my M-4 and my .45 cal Custom seem to fulfill most tasks. But, my:
2. .357 S&W Scandium.
3. M509 12 guage Mossberg.
4. Cold Steel Ranger Combat Knife
Coupled with a reasonable stores of ammo, these would all make me feel very comfortable in any urban situation, as well as the rest of what lies inside vault.
Never forget the importance of mission oriented ammunition and proper training.
January 12th, 2008 at 6:00 am1.) SIG SAUER P229
2.) REMINGTON 870
3.) HECKLER & KOCH G3

3. Colt frontier 45
4. Kimber 45 ACP
5. WW-1 riot gun.
1. 81mm Mortar Can’t make up my mind whether hanging it is more fun or FDC? But it is tops on my list. I once had an entire BDE of 60’s and 81’s at my disposal. Tim Allen always talked about “MORE POWER”…shit he ain’t seen nothing….(can I get a witness?
2. M110A1E1 - 200lbs of TNT and RDX in one fine package. It’s a bitch to clean. Killing radius 100 m.
3. M72 Law - POS But when you get about 60 of them to fire downrange…it’s alot of fun.
4. M203. Hated the M-79. Loved the sights on the 203. Got real good with it.
5. M102 - I had more fun in AIT with this than any other weapon…with the possible exception of the .50 cal. Every day we fired hundreds of rounds downrange. Gave me a hard-on…

January 12th, 2008 at 9:11 amI would have to say my personally owned number one would be my browning 12 gauge. Just ask the deer, its one bad M’Fer

January 12th, 2008 at 9:21 amM-203 grenade launcher.

2. SKS
3. AK47

Addendum to my #2 above.
Scenario: Charge 7 White bag…all lockouts leaking cherry juice or are empty. You are the No 2 man. If you pull the lanyard, how are you going to not have a bad day?
Answer: Pull the lanyard, ride the breech handle back into battery. The worst that can happen is you’ll be thrown backwards into the AG chair…Beats getting thrown into the spade.
Yep, really happened…

Love the many and sundry weapons mentioned here. It would have been cooler to mention only those weapons that you have actually used. The lists would be even more interesting. JMO
January 12th, 2008 at 12:13 pmJust 1, a B83 set high right on Teheran.
January 12th, 2008 at 12:25 pmNo favorite.
Whatever works best for the situation.
Accurate intel seems to be most important, in the past and in the present.
Personally: A durable and accurate bolt action with a quality sighting device. (there are many, no favorites other than custom made to specs)
All time Combat weapons : Crossbows, Swords (not for present combat)
