Your favorite military gun

The one I get to shoot and do not have to clean!

Being I started in the USAF in 1986 I'll be an oddball. S&W Model 15 revolver. Transitioned to the M9 in 1991 (they tried in 1989 but several of of us bucked as we hated the M9 at first)

Learned to love the M9 especially after 1999 when the USAF was issues JHP 9mm at stateside bases M4 was good too.

My favorite heavy in my Nuke Security days was the MK 19

 

[Jaybird1980]

M14/M1A and CZ75

 

[senork]

M1 Garand and 1911 Colt

 

[Wolfhound]

I am going with the M249 SAW.

 

[BigRed]

M1 Garand and 1911 Colt

Unlike the AR 15, these are weapons designed for the battle field.

Something to keep in mind when you hear some gun control ***** whinning and droning on and on.

If I actually have to use it in combat, give me an M16/M4 variant. Just for fun? The M1 Garand.

 

[42253]

M16 and 1911 is the choice for me

No military time, but enjoyed shooting my Uncle's M1 Carbine, and his M1 Garand. I do have a 1911A1, and an AR15, and both are fun. I think the 1911 and the M1 Garand would hold their own.
Uncle was a WW2 Vet, and showed me how to clean and lube guns at an early age.

 

[gemihur]

Walther P-38 = best
6.5 Carcano 91/38 = worst

My very personal favorite.

So the M249 1st gen is not a good weapon!
Strange the Belgian M249 seem to work ok when
I was hanging out with them.

I dare you to get 100 RDS though a 1st gen M249 without a malfunction.
2nd gen maybe 400 RDS !

A Revolution in Arms: Weapons in the War for Independence - The American Revolution Institute

The exhibition "A Revolution in Arms" examines the weapons used by American troops during the Revolutionary War and their importance to the achievement of independence.

While this makes for an interesting read, do not let your arms end up as artifacts in a museum.

The one I was issued was definitely first generation (1988). I never had issues as long as it was lightly oiled. Run it dry = problems. I admit I never tried to run it in a desert environment but did have it with me during deployments to Korea in the Winter and some nice government funded vacations to Central America.

I'm going thematic here. I'll take a Valmet and a Browning HiPower. Maybe toss in an Uzi for good measure.

AK47 rifle and CZ82 pistol for foreign military arms
