Here, put down your favorite types of firearms, and, if at all possible, an explanation.
Here's mine.
Pistol: Glock 22 chambered in .40 S&W. Proper feel for a pistol and excellent brand name quality. Little kick and quite accurate.
Rifle: Yugoslav M59/66 SKS. Decent accuracy, mild recoil, common cartridge (7.62x39mm), and a bayonet. :)
Shotgun: Savage 24S-E. I can obliterate about 80% of clay pidgeons launched with this thing. Typical 20 gauge, break-open shotgun, and a good one to kill claty pidgeons with.
SMG: Uzi. Only SMG I've come close to firing, but it looks pretty fun to shoot.
MG: M2. The Ma Duece- .50 cal. Need I say more?

MG: M2. The Ma Duece- .50 cal. Need I say more?

Pistol: Plasma Pistol. Can destroy a Killa Kan and excelent Imperial quality. Little accuracy but that isn't an issue since it carves a 10' swathe of destruction.

Rifle: Space Marine Bolter. No accuracy to speak of, recoil that could break a man's arm, common (exploding) cartridge (10x7 cm,) and can be used as a club. :)

Shotgun: Flamer. I can bake 80% of clay pidgeons into pottery pidgeons with this thing. Typical 5000 degree, gas-canister flamer, and a good one to bake pidgeons with.

SMG: Multi-Melta. Only Melta I've come close to "firing" (literally), but it looks pretty fun to shoot.

MG: Twin-linked Lascannon. A great fucking lasergun. Need I say more?

Phased Plasma Rifle, 40 Watt Range.

Pistol: Colt M1911. Had a fun weekend with one of these

Rifle: M40A3. Marine Corp Sniper rifle....so sue me, I'm a USMC freak

Shotgun: Meh, don't really care about shotguns, can't hit crap with them, now rifles on the other hand........

SMG: FNP-90. Standard clip of 50 armor piercing rounds, need I say more

MG: Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). Had a fun weekend with one of these as well, matter of fact it was the same weekend as the pistol.

i live in britian though , but i have a fair knowledge.

pistol - Tokarev t33
SMG - a modified AKs-74u (http://www.sovietarmy.com/small_arms/aks-74u.html) to include the drum magazine and bayonet rack on the side
rifle - SVD-n (http://www.sovietarmy.com/small_arms/svd.html) - robust sniper simple to use.
AT rifle - :D
MG MG: Twin-linked Lascannon ah hem a lascannon is not a MG a Heavy Bolter is.
My MG The Soviet PKS (http://www.sovietarmy.com/small_arms/pks.html)

as you can see im a one sided soviet guy

I can't provide any models, but in terms of types, I'd go with my old buddy:

:sniper: Quick, stealthy kills from out of range of counterfire - by the time they found my poistion, I'm gone without a trace. Problem is, most game maps aren't big enough to pull that off, or snipes would be imbalanced. Oh wait, you didn't want Counterstrike?! Screw you :)

your more likley to get shot with your own gun-all they do is hurt and kill. Why would anyone support a machine that does that?

Because other people will, just to have the edge, and leaving oneself ill-defended for such a possibility, if said possibility stands a reasonable chance of happening, is an unreasonable act.

A post that once again proves that stupidity is endemic to human nature.

Anything I can shoot down police helicopters with.

Pistol: Sturm-Ruger .45 cal. Heavy, but it stops "heavy" too.
Rifle: Winchester. Nuff said.
Shotgun: Does the old M-79 Grenade Launcher with "Shotgun rounds" qualify in this category? :D
SMG: Swedish "K." Light 9mm with a folding stock; the "take anywhere" SMG!
MG: Military SAW ... at least you can carry it. :D

Pistol: Springfield M1911-A1 .45 (micro-compact).
http://www.springfield-armory.com/prod-pstl-1911-mc.shtml

Rifle: M-14. (The final Garand, and the finest.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M14_%28rifle%29

Shotgun: Remington 1100.
http://www.remington.com/firearms/shotguns/1100.htm

SMG: I've never fired one, no opinion.

MG: Never fired one, no opinion.

The squirty kind. Sorry, I'm not American :p

The only gun I've ever used is the Glock 29. Silat class :p

My brother used to have an air rifle. I wonder where that is now......

Gee, I haven't fired a gun before. But I can make some preferences based on second hand knowledge and aethetics, features and technology, etc...

Rifle: H&K G-11. It's a simple, clean looking rifle that shoots caseless rounds. Very fast, very high rate of fire, no shell casings so the gun is more likely to keep clean in a battlefield. It's ahead of its time. Too bad it was never really adopted.

Pistol: That's a tough one. There are so many. I'd have to go for the Colt m1911 series. Small clip, but a good, solid, reliable weapon with decent stopping power. It lasted through two world wars. The Browning Hi-Power is pretty good too. Made by the same designer as the Colt M1911, and it has nine bullets instead of seven. But for modern pistols, i'd have to go with the Walther P99. It just looks cool.

SMG: Calico SMG's are pretty badass, and they hold alot of bullets. The FN P90 is a great weapon too. MP5's are great, but so overused. Uzi's... old, but a timeless design. I'd rather use an MP5 because you know what you're using. It's a proven design.

Machine Guns: Minimi. Need I say more?

your more likley to get shot with your own gun-all they do is hurt and kill. Why would anyone support a machine that does that?

No kidding, ya think?!?! :D You can also stick yourself with a knife, or poison yourself by accident, or get yourself speared, whipped, slashed and stuck. So what makes getting shot so much different than getting bodily harmed by other means?

But guns can do more than kill. You can use them for marksmanship competitions. For hunting dinner. For making bad guys think twice about harming others (I hear the police use that to great effect).

Your argument is naive, at best. I would support this dangerous little weapon because despite it all, it has also helped in our daily lives. Without it, police would have crude means of defense. Soldiers would have to fight with bow and sword. We'd have to kill animals with spears to get dinner.

Guns are just a means to an end. If we did not have guns, we would still try to kill each other by other means. So we could all say 'yes, lets get rid of evil guns', but then the evil of wanting to harming others still remains.

Getting rid of guns won't cure nations of violence, or take away their tendancies to kill each other. They'll just find another way, even barefisted if they have to. So please, stop ragging on guns so much, and find a more effective way of fighting violence.

rotflolz!!!1!

The Mateba model 6 Revolver is my personal favorite.

Pistol - Model 18 (only automatic pistol that i know of)
Rifle- M4A1 SD (silenced and deadly)
Shotgun - M3 12 Gauge (only automatic shotgun that i know of, and it looks cool)
SMG - HK5K (those brits know how to make smgs)
MG - M60E3 ( :mp5: )
Sniper - M87ELR ( :sniper: )

All you Socom fans out there know all of these guns.

Guns... hmmm...

Pistols: either a Glock (17, 22, 29) or a M1911, reliable old bastards those are

Rifles: depends on the purpose. Assault rifle, well, G36 any time. The Steyr AUG isn't too bad either, I like how it looks (it's my 2nd favorite softair weapon, #1 is still the M4 RIS, and yes, there are female softair players). M-14, a friend of mine in the States has one, might try it one day.

SMGs: MP5, or P90, I'd go for the P90 *blames Stargate*

MGs: I always like that Belgian one, that never made it into production, the BRG-15 I think it was. Anything of gatling-type has been turned into a joke thanks to silly movies like Predator. As for the M60... no thanks, I don't like jamming and stuff.


Final note, I'm happy to see nobody mentioning a Deagle yet lol

Hooliganland, HK is a German company, not brit :P The brits can only make stuff like the SA80... crap...

I almost forgot about the OICW. All-in-one smg and grenade launcher with infrared and high-tech scope. Mmmm...toasty!

Oops, my bad. I always thought the hks were british, idk why. Maybe because i've seen too many movies where the british guy always has an hk5k.

I consider the OICW nothing else but a joke. It's huge, heavy, suitable for "peacekeeping" stuff, but for actual combat? I bet it has software updates and is based on Microsoft.

"Sir, I can't shoot at the enemy!"
"Why's that private!?"
"Sir, my rifle is trying to download an update!"


Heckler & Koch has always been German :P

Firearms are ment only for cowards. I have a chainsaw and an axe.

Pistol: M1911 .45, 9mm is for SISSIES!
Rifle: SA-80, it looks GOOD.
Shotgun: I... hate.... shotguns.
SMG: The Russian Bizon, 65 rounds!
MG: M249... it's portable.

???????????/ :confused: :confused: :confused:
what is this??
you'd have to have an IQ of 20 to consistently shoot yourself.
unless you're suicidal....
how in hell can you even HOPE to back that up??
if thats how you feel, then get rid of sewing needles, fire, trees, oxygen, etc.

pistol: Glock 19[little jamming, cheap]
rifle: M1-garand BOO YA!!
sniper: said rifle w/4-9x scope[offset]
shotgun:Mossberg 500 w/#4 buckshot & full choke
smg: sten
mg: Browning .50 cal.[w/scope]

actually i think heckler and koch is owned by british aerospace.

Cord '357 Magnum.
And please stop flaming against everyone who dislikes firearms. :mad:
I've been on the wrong end of the iron, too.
Would at least make you think over, if it happened to you.

He (Or she) Does have a point. A lot more gun owners than you mighty think accidently shoot themselves.

And guns Are made for killing, after all.

It's probably been said already, but my favourite gun is the Super Soaker 3000.

Anything made in the USA or Germany

But manly the M24 sniper

Favorites? Well, that's easy.

The Mosin-Nagant and Mauser Gewehr 98 are my favorite rifles. Rugged, dependable, and extremely accurate.

My favorite SMG is none other than the MG-34. It wasn't the heavy-hitter that the MG-42 was, but it was far less likely to overheat, had less kick, and was much lighter.

My favorite musket is the 1812 Prussian Potsdam percussion musket. It was light compared to the British Brown Bess, was the same calibre (.75), and it was more accurate. It was also much easier to use, as it wasn't a flintlock. Interesting fact: Many confederate soldiers used the Potsdam during the Civil War. They were regarded as highly reliable firearms, though they were only single-shot guns.

If they manage to ND so it hits themselves they need the reminder about how not to handle a gun. Rule # 1 is assume the gun is loaded at all times and act accordingly.

Ouch, percussion musket. Even an 'accurate' musket has an aimed range of IIRC about 120m. Percussion many times more reliable than a flintlock of course, but slower-firing, so you get c.3 shots a minute to a Brown Bess' four. Of course, you could get troops up to 'competent' in half the time, so it might not be too bad - British musketry varied from world-beating to execrable even in front-line divisions. Single shot in ACW wasn't too much of a drawback - the Sharps was pretty useless [due to inaccuracy, unreliability and cost] and the only multiple-shot rifle used IIRC. Poor confeds using those when the Union had Enfields. Rather them than me.

-snip-

Yeah, smoothbores were very inaccurate compared to rifled muskets and rifles. I wouldn't wanna have to fight a guy who's armed with an Enfield when I just have a Potsdam. The calibre is much larger, but what good is that when it's only truly accurate up to maybe a hundred yards?

toy ones as they can't kill even by accident

Sako 41 of 21.
SKS
M-24
M-1 pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop ching! (right number of pops? I can't remember)

Well if your counting muzzle loading rifles I'd have to go with my 1863 Richmond

yes, it is a richmond, not a springfield, or an enfield, but a richmond

Pistol: H&K USP Tactical, chambered for .45 ACP. Tremendous stopping power, and smaller than the Mk.23 SOCOM. Also has suppresor threads

Rifle: M4 Assualt Carbine. 5.56. Add the U.S SOPMOD kit, and a Remington 870 pattern Shotgun, and you have one of the best assualt rifles in the world

Sniper Rifle: L96A1. Simply amazing rifle. 6 x 42 scope, and 7.62 NATO rounds. Tremendous at long range

Give me an M1911 and a Glock 18 and I'll be happy.

But an XM-8 wouldn't hurt.

And Snake Eaters, I thought the NATO ammo was 7.65. Is there a difference?

Those pounded into ploughshares.

7.62 X 54

Pistol would definitely have to be a 1911. I've only gotten to shoot one once, and it wasn't even a real Colt, but damn it was sweet. I'd say S&W mod. 28 (.357) with a 6 inch barrel would be second, but that one belongs to my uncle now.

Rifle: This one is a tougher choice. I agree with the original poster that the 59/66 is a sweet gun (only SKS I own). Accuracy isn't its strong point, but I'm not a good enough shot for that to matter. Overall I'd say I like the Mosin Nagants the best, just because it's a strong, simple, reliable action, and the potential for a collector is great with the number of variations out there. I have to give the Lee Enfield No. 1 and No. 4 an honorable mention for the smooth-as-silk bolt action.

Shotgun: Not an area in which I have much experience, but I really like the Mossberg 500 which I inherited from my dad. I don't hunt, and it's too long to be much good for home protection, but we used to shoot trap with it in the backyard, and I always liked this one best.


And 31, that should be 8 pops and a ching. ;)

7.62 X 54
7.62 x 51. 7.62 x 54 is the rimmed Russian round adopted in 1891.

its a close call between the Desert Eagle .50 AE and the Magnum .475.
the Deagle has higher caliber bullets but is still less powerful, but it has less recoil, higher ammo capacity, and it uses a clip rather than being a revolver.
the .475 is still really bad ass if youve ever seen a picture of it, the barrell is huge. i think it was in one of the police academy movies. i think the Deagle wins though.
Either way if you shoot it at someones head, it will explode.

Guns... hmmm...

*snip*

Final note, I'm happy to see nobody mentioning a Deagle yet lol
It was only a matter of time. :(

Fn Fal
Mp5-a4

Pistol: Springfield 1911 A1... My action shooting pistol. Good trigger, Modest recoil, Pretty accurate.

Rifle: Toss-up between my norenko SKS and a bushmaster AR-15. Both excellent rifles, Nil recoil.

Shotgun: I love the Norenko side by side stagecoach shotgun. A doom classic :)

SMG: I love those Uzi's

Bolt-action rifle: A turk mauser has the smoothest bolt I have played with yet.

Give me an M1911 and a Glock 18 and I'll be happy.

But an XM-8 wouldn't hurt.

And Snake Eaters, I thought the NATO ammo was 7.65. Is there a difference?
Theres two types of NATO ammumition. 5.56 and 7.62 x 51, in milimetres.

Russians use a slightly different 7.62 (x54) round, as seen in the AK-47. Most NATO weapons use 5.56, but a few use 7.62 x 51, mostly sniper rifles.

XM-8's suck, unless you have them in parasniper configuration, in which case they are acceptable

snip
But guns can do more than kill. You can use them for marksmanship competitions. For hunting dinner.
snip

Hunting's not killing? You scare them to death? :D

My favourites are the water pistol and air rifle. I'm pretty good with air rifle :)

The Wildey magnum scores pretty high here, next to the "Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?" .44

They don't necessarily shoot themselves with their gun. Other people can shoot them with their gun...

They don't necessarily shoot themselves with their gun. Other people can shoot them with their gun...

In the US, considering that there are 300 million guns amongst over 100 million gun owners, there are surprisingly few accidents - and even fewer incidents where people are shot by their own gun by someone who took it away.

In fact, a policeman is three times more likely to be shot with his own gun than a civilian gun owner in a confrontation.

Pistol - .50 cal Smith & Wesson Revolver. You got the armstrength, this baby will drop anything.

Rifle - that old standby, the M16A2

SMG - H&K MP5 PDW. Nice feel, good grips, more reliable and accurate than an Uzi.

MG - M60. You keep it good, it works fine.

Shotgun - All. I like shotguns, they can sometimes kick like donkeys, but I like how targets just evaporate

I disagree with the pistol choice (bigger is not usually better). The rifle is a poodle shooter. I agree with the MP-5.

The M_60 is garbage by comparison with the 240.

And with other than clay pigeons, I've been disappointed with the shotgun, especially the effect of buckshot on humans.

I'd prefer the M249 SAW rather than the M-60. Sure, smaller round, but more portable and lightweight. Agree with rifle criticism, and don't underestimate the shotgun. In close quaters, it can be among the most deadly weapons, especially solid shot, which can penetrate normal body armour with ease

I can't explain, my drolling is already getting in the way of my typing..

Pistol: Glock 20 and Glock 18, I'm a sucker for select fire, and for 10mm
Rifle (Bolt Action): Lee Enfield...
Rifle (Semi): SVT-40
Rifle (Battle): FAMAS G2
Shotgun (Pump): Winchester Model 12 Shotgun (Bayonette..mmmmm..)
Shotgun (Semi): Saiga 12 and Heckler-Koch CAWS
SMG: FN P90 (duh)
LMG: Lewis Gun
HMG: FN BRG-15

7.62 X 54

7.62x51.

Nato is 7.62x51, the Soviet and pre-communist russian round is 7.62x54!
Designation comes from a combination of bullet-diameter and case-length.
the 7.62x54R is a different animal than the 7.62x51 (also known as .30 Winchester in civilian terms, as the round was commercially introduced to the civilian market by Winchester at a time when most shooters in the U.S. preferred their cartridges in Imperial Standard sizes...)

Yes, the 7.62x51mm is 308 Winchester, and the 7.62x54R is the 30 Russian (the old Russian service cartridge from the days of the Mosin-Nagant rifle).

Pistol: M1911A1. If you've ever fired one you don't need an explanation. If you haven't, poor dears, it's an amazing gun. Pointed like it was part of my hand. That was a Colt M1991, my 1911 clone isn't as good, but still better than everything else I've fired short of an H&K USP, which was second only to the Colt. And you can't beat .45ACP round.

Rifle: Remington 700, good basic bolt-action rifle.

SMG: H&K MP-5. Dream to fire, recoil was on par with a .22 rifle, highly accurate. I've not fired the .45ACP version (UMP, is it called?) which is why I've not listed it.

MG: Never fired any, but the M-2HB gets a vote just cause I like the old monster.

Shotgun: Browning Auto-5 in 12 Gauge. Mine's 50 years old, reliable as hell, points like a charm, well balanced, and you gotta love the 12ga caliber. The buck is plenty powerful (roughly the same as empting the clip on my .32acp pistol for every shell) and the slugs are awesome. Fired one into the grill of a junked car (no engine) and it came out the trunk. Gotta love it. And the kick isn't as bad as people think.

Submachine gun: Heckler & Koch MP5

Rifle: Steyr-Mannlicher Classic (full-stock) in .308Win

Revolver: Colt Python .357Mag 6-inch stainless

Pistols:

Beretta 92FS/M9 blue 9mm

Browning Hi-Power Practical 9mm

Colt Special Combat Government .45ACP (go to http://www.colt.com for a look)

Actually, the Ruger P-85, Remington 870, M1 Carbine, M60, and PPSh-41 ain't too bad.

Rifle: Fn FAL in 308, by DAS (of course)
Semi-Auto Handgun: .45 ACP 1911, by Colt (of course)
Revolver: 44 Special Model 24, 6 1/2 by S&W
Shotgun: Remington M-1100

Famas G2, the best assault rifle in the world currently(when it has a red-dot/other aiming addition, the Famas ironsights are crap).

Revolver: The Medusa. The concept of a multi-ammo revolver is intriguing, even if it's practical or not.

Automatic Pistol: The California Instrument Company series of helical feed machine pistols. This one is more for style and ammunition capacity than stopping power.

Shotgun: SPAS-12. Aside from being a shotgun featured in many games, I hear it's fairly reliable.

Rifle, Assault: Enfield SA-80 and any other bullpup rifle.

RIFLE: M-16. I know, its small caliber, but damn is it accurate. give it to a trained Marine and everything within 500 meters will have a real bad day.

Pistol: Good ole American made colt.45 Put a nice hole in anything!

SUB: hmm never fired on.....yet!

Machine gun: Gotta go with the MK 19. Fully auto grenades for everybody!

shotgun: Anything 12 guage and auto loading

Silver plated Beretta 92G Elite with rubber grip, looks awesome:)
http://securityarms.com/20010315/galleryfiles/1900/1915.htm

Here, put down your favorite types of firearms, and, if at all possible, an explanation.
Here's mine.
Pistol: Glock 22 chambered in .40 S&W. Proper feel for a pistol and excellent brand name quality. Little kick and quite accurate.
Rifle: Yugoslav M59/66 SKS. Decent accuracy, mild recoil, common cartridge (7.62x39mm), and a bayonet. :)
Shotgun: Savage 24S-E. I can obliterate about 80% of clay pidgeons launched with this thing. Typical 20 gauge, break-open shotgun, and a good one to kill claty pidgeons with.
SMG: Uzi. Only SMG I've come close to firing, but it looks pretty fun to shoot.
MG: M2. The Ma Duece- .50 cal. Need I say more?

seacoast mortars used in the american civil war. best guns ever!

EDIT: you could do all your hunting in one shot and have enough meat for a year! heheheh.

Famas G2, the best assault rifle in the world currently(when it has a red-dot/other aiming addition, the Famas ironsights are crap).

The FAMAS, like the AAT, has a tendency to unlock prematurely. It also doesn't work well unless you're using the French ammunition.

The SIG 550 is way better than the FAMAS.

The FAMAS, like the AAT, has a tendency to unlock prematurely. It also doesn't work well unless you're using the French ammunition.

The SIG 550 is way better than the FAMAS.

The Sig 550 is incredibly wieldy, compared to the compact Famas. The Famas is a bullpup rifle, as opposed to the sig, giving it lower length while still having a long barrel. The Famas has a built in bipod, which from experience with an M4a1, I know would be very helpful.

The Famas G2 is made to accept M16 STANAG magazines. It fires the same round as the M16. I believe the problem you are talking about, was with the F1 and the straight magazines. Though, of course, even if you were correct, it wouldnt matter. Its a French gun, whats the problem using French ammunition?

As for the unlocking problem, I've never heard of it. I have heard many other critisism's of the gun, and talked to many French soldiers and people with extensive use of it, and none have ever mentioned it. If you could get a quote or something, it would be appreciated.

The water pistol.

Ideally, all other guns would be illegal.

Pistol, semi-auto: IMI Jericho (a.k.a. Baby Eagle). Accurate, reliable and all around fine gun. Not to mention that it is combat proven by the Israeli army and secret services- and that's quite a reputation.
Revolvers: never shot any yet, but Tauris Total Titanium looks good from the description of it.
SMG: I've only shot the UZI and the Israeli MAGAL (a shortened Galil in 0.30 carbine). I don't like the UZI, the accuracy is crap. The MAGAL is very accurate, reliable as any other AK based design, and far more powerful than your average 9 millimeter or 0.40 SMG. The H&K UMP looks mean, probably shoots mean too. Colt SMG would be fine I suppose, easy to switch to it from the M16 series, and accuracy must be ok.
Rifles: M1 carbine is lovely. I've shot the M16 and the Galil, but the M16 seems prone to jamming, and the Galil is too heavy for my taste, plus accuracy isn't that great. Gotta check out the AR180, rumor has it they are a good balance between the AR and the Kalashnikov systems.
Sniper rifles: SR 25?

pistol-anything chambered in the .45 cal
rifle, bolt-m1903 springfield, i love the accuaracy on the rifle
assault rifle-any of the kalishnikov series, they take a licking and keep on ticking
SMG-H&K UMP .45, great accuaracy with a 30 round clip in it along with the stopping power of the .45 cal makes it an awesome smg
MG- Browning m2 .50 cal , it being in service for over 60 years shows it is one helluva gun
shotgun-any of the remmington 12gauge pumps, or a benneli awesome guns for fowl hunting

guns are bad and i have no respect for any of you.

I concur. Waterguns. If the girl you're shooting is wearing a white T-shirt, you might get to see her boobies. Kinda.

Which is doubleplusgood in my book.

As if I care. :rolleyes:

Theres two types of NATO ammumition. 5.56 and 7.62 x 51, in milimetres.


Yup, that's right.


Russians use a slightly different 7.62 (x54) round, as seen in the AK-47.


That's not right, however. 7.62x39mm is the round in the AK-47 and the SKS. 7.62x54R is used in the Dragunov assault/sniper rifle as well as the Mosin-Nagant bolt-action.

Favorite pistol: Toss up between the Glock 20 (10mm) and the Glock 21 (.45ACP). I like the oomph of the 20, but I can shoot that .45ACP all day long.

Favorite rifle: Currently, my Savage Model 12 (.308)--26" heavy barrel that can pick feathers off birds at 300 yards.

Favorite sub machine gun: MAC-11. Only one I've ever fired.

Favorite sniper rifle: Oog. Haven't fired anything listed as such. But that Savage 12 of mine could give someone a decent platform to start on.

Favorite assault rifle--FALs. Have only fired the semi-auto versions, but damn, I love that .308 round.

Only eight pops. :)

your more likley to get shot with your own gun-all they do is hurt and kill. Why would anyone support a machine that does that?
Ah, actually, no. Of the more than one hundred million guns in the US, each year there are under five hundred people who die from their own guns.

No, no, no. There's nothing bad about guns. Guns are inanimate objects, like alarm clocks, blow dryers and CD players. They are inherently neutral in nature. It's the people who abuse guns who are bad.

I was tickled pink to see The Holy Womble recommend IMI's Jericho. In the States we have the 9mm Baby Eagle (same firearms but without decocker). Out of the 20 some odd firearms I've got it's my personal favorite. It's handled thousands of rounds over the past five years and never jammed once. I have been astounded by it's accuracy as well.

About the Taurus'. In the summer I carry a Titanium Ultra Light .38 special. It's about 2 pounds loaded. It's snub nose doesn't make it the most forgiving weapon in the world but with practice you'll improve.
