Be Honest and why /k/
>>65135414I'll give you two.Kel-Tec RDB and CZ-85. Both are comfy, accurate and reliable.
>>65135414My Israeli Mauser. Why? because it's chambered in 7.62 Real Fucking NATO, looks wonderful and my grandfather remembers it from when he was a conscript. When I showed it to him, you could see memories and emotions from his youth coming back. He still knew the manual of arms and the disassembly of it. He held on to it all evening, like an old friend. I think nothing beats that.
>>65135414F2000 or Glock 20. >whyCyberpunk.
>>65135438>Israeli I don't care about that, but the story about your grandfather struck a cord. >visiting uncle >bring along guns for hog hunt>for keks bring my M1 rifle >night before >alright what are you bringing >pull my rifle >uncle is Korean War vet >eyes light up>he tells stories how the M1 never failed in combat, dust, rain, sleet, and snow the M1 kept going >meanwhile the M2 was great in summer but in winter would freeze into a bolt action >uncle holds rifle when telling thisThere is something magical we lost while listening to our elders telling stories of their youth.
>>65135486Reminds me of my dad>2012>Buy Yugo SKS>End up trading it for something.>Dad tells me he used to be issued an SKS for base perimeter patrol in Soviet AF in the 1980s>They had AKMs and AK-74s but nobody wanted to trust boots with automatic rifles around expensive aircraft, bombs and jet fuel.>Says he liked it more than the AK anyway because they were more accurate.>Wish he had told me this before I had traded my SKS>Spot a 1951 Tula in pristine condition on a classified >Trade my first handgun (Ruger P89DC) for it>Xmas is coming >Sandy Hook shooting happens, panic buying everywhere >SKS is now worth $2000 easy>Nope, not budging >Gift SKS to dad for Xmas>Range session with dad later that week before NYE> he's hopelessly unsafe and barely remembers how to operate the thing> somehow prints 2" groups consistently with itHe still has barely an idea of how to use or maintain the thing but he's the best shot with an SKS I've ever seen.

Luger I guessCause it looks cool
>>65135519>2" groups with shit ammoThe reality is that our weapons WILL be more accurate than we will be. The brutal truth is that 99.999% of humanity are shit shots (remembers the fundamentals of sight picture and alignment, trigger pull follow-through and recovery) while in combat, never mind shooting at paper.>Ruger P89DCA handgun I absolutely regret trading, it is to me the perfect 9mm handgun to exist, being reliable, accurate, built like a brick shit-house and cheap.
>>65135643I've owned multiple since that trade and I always let them go. I like how it looks but that trigger is just terrible. Most of my 9mm trigger time is between my CZ-85 and Taurus PT99 nowadays.
>>65135414>Reverse US flagIs this a Bizzaro thread?
>>65135643The gun being mechanically capable of greater accuracy doesn't mean you can't switch to a better gun and achieve better accuracy. This argument is a cope.
>>65135486I got this one when I went shooting with a friend's dad and brought my cheap beater chink SKS>hey, this is what the enemy carried in vietnam>I was watching over a road with a buddy while on patrol and we ran into two young men who had these rifles slung up on their shoulders>we got our guns up first, and that was that
>>65135414Love this thing like no other, got my initial exposure from Battlefield 2 of all games
>>65135414Any Beretta long slide is just raw sex
model 8
>>65135414I'm not sure about it I love most of my guns equally.But based on familial history it'll be the 1936 Winchester .30-30 my great grandfather fed the family with, or the post 64 Winchester model 100 with a bulged barrel and topped with a Bushnell 1.5x4 power scope that my grandfather bought when he was in the service and carried for decades during deer season. not forgetting shotguns I'd like to think I'm making memories by using my 1903 Winchester 1897, but I also have my Great grandad's Winchester 1912 that drowned in lake McGee in the late 60's when my relatives were supposedly duck hunting. all of them have stories, I have to have at least 40ish guns but it's fun that the Japanese through twitter seem to revere the hand me down Winchesters like swords.Honestly, it's interesting the things that the younger people will latch onto that the previous generations either forgot or discarded
>>65135414Only going off guns I've actually shot here. Favorite 22, probably the 10/22 as "boring" as it may be for an answer; it just does what I need and is easy enough to work on. If a vintage one came back with some tweaks, something in the Nylon family with a detachable mag. So light, so handy. Centerfire rifle, AR or SKS. My SKS is surprisingly smooth and well gassed. Most Chinese ones I've handled seem to be the same.>>65135438>>65135486>>65135519Reminds me of a story I THINK a gunshow seller told me once. Either him or a neighboring vendor had a bunch of SKSs at some point. Not Russian or Chinese, that I know. Some guys came along and were looking at the rifles; one of them turned out to be a friend's issued rifle. The group video called said friend (still in whatever country those guys came from IIRC) and one of them in the group ended up buying it. Wild amount of random chance for that to line up like it did.
>>65135809Could have been Romanian, Yugoslavian, East German or (somewhat unlikely) Albanian. I'd guess Yugo would be the most likely.
>>65135414Favorite gun I own?>pic relatedFavorite gun in general?M1 Carbine with the paratrooper folding stock
United States Rifle, Caliber .30, Model of 1903. Because it was the service rifle for the period of US military history I find most interesting and it was also a period of great national interest in military shooting sports.
HK21E because it's a god damn beautiful gun with some unique design features and it's a bigger version of the G3. Some day I'm going to get good enough at 3D to make this fucker in all its glory and I'll use it for everything
>>65135668>cope>gets 4MOA out of 1MOA gunsBruh
MP5 because it's a movie star, serves perfectly as a very light civilian defense carbine, suppresses stupid well, and it's fun to slap.
>>65136115That is a really cool rifle
>>65135414Probably just my 6920. Its accurate and reliable, if a little front heavy. My SP1 or M1A are close seconds though.
I just think it's neat.
>>65136526It’s old enough to have occupied Veracruz, chased Pancho Villa, stormed the Bois de Belleau, shot Bolsheviks in Siberia, stacked bodies for Dole Fruit up and down Central America, battled bastards on Bataan, been really fucked now on Guadalcanal, and maybe even came ashore D+1 at Normandy.
>>65137208If it's below 800,000 on the serial there's a chance it will have a receiver failure with commercial loads.

>>65135414Accuracy International AXSR because bleeding edge sniper rifles are the closest things to God in the world of guns
>>65137225>If it's below 800,000 on the serial there's a chance it will have a receiver failure with commercial loads.If it's a Springfield below 800,000 or a Rock Island below 285,507 there is a chance that the receiver is overly-hardened, and IF it is one of that unknown percentage with a brittle receiver AND you have an ammunition failure in the breech such as a case head rupture that vents propellant gasses into the lug spaces, THEN it might fail. All those M1903s which failed in service had survived a 140% (70,000CUP) proof load when the barrel and bolt were fitted to the receiver. Any "low-number" receiver with a post-1918 barrel has been proof-tested at least twice. Stressing the action in the manner in which it was designed to withstand is not enough to cause it to fail: a second factor (leaking propellant gasses putting force on the receiver in directions it wasn't meant to withstand) is necessary to cause failure. These rifles were meant to be shot with ammunition generating a chamber pressure of 50,000CUP; you will be hard-pressed to find a commercial .30-'06 that exceeds such specifications.
>>65135710It just werks.
>>65136120That is nice.For me it's the HK-91. I saw my 1st one in 1986 and liked it immediately for it's looks. As you so eloquently say: it's a god damn beautiful gun. I finally bought one in 1988 (my 1st gun) and absolutely love the feel and weight of the thing. I swear the pistol grip was molded for my hand and nothing else i've handled has been as comfortable to grip. I bought a near-mint HK93 a year later and was hoping to collect a G3, an SRT9TC, and a PSG1.Unfortunately, before I could obtain them Canada reclassified them as Restricted and even though they said they wouldn't, they secretly and quickly prohibited them and it was too late. :-(I like dragging them out once in a while as they are a bit of a crowd pleaser. I like letting the kids (my range as some very well mannered and behaved 10 to 13 yr olds) try it out. The grins on their faces is extremely gratifying to see. So sad they are missing out.
>>65135414The MAS-49/56, because it looks cool, specially with its DMR optic and the incredibly rare 20 rounds magazine. I really wish France had completed these earlier in order to have them in service on time for WWII, and also the Maginot line keeping the faggy Belgians out of it, so the war would've been a lot more kino.
>>65136844That is one classy looking rifle.
>>65135414My riced out mk4. It's stupid fun to shoot and eats everything I feed it.
>>65138852>another guy who has a 22lr autoloader pistol that works like it should.
