    That I've personally used. M-14 and 1911A1.

    Though I must admit the M-1 Thompson was quite enjoyable to use. Sadly it couldn't use the drum mags.

    Telling you how wrong you are at everything 5 fingers at a time.

    AC-130U as far as hardware. I am a little biased.

    I don't think anyone has nominated the RC-135's (silent warriors) and their ever important crews - they have (me included ) have been doing their thing since the 1960's, and are still doing it ! They go out on the "fringes" and find many targets that all of these other awesome weapons can be used against

    It's really unimpressive. CIWS=Captain, It Won't Shoot.

    It's great when it does work...when being the operative word.

    Gosh I'm showing my age here...small arms the venerable M14 and 1911A1. For fire power a naval coastal bombardment using at least 2 battleships...nothing on earth quite like it.

    Your parents' favorite Airman
    smarm: Ak-107 because Ak pattern rifles are my favorite and the balanced recoil system is really cool

    Crew served weapon: BGM-71 TOW because TOW

    Tank: Challenger 2 because I like it that's why. Honorable mention goes to the TOS-1 because it is on the T-72 platform and is basically a thermobaric tank.

    Sub: Type VIIC/41 U-Boat. Reading about the wolfpacks and it's hard not to love (or love to hate) these things

    Boat: USCGC Hamilton with Harpoon Launchers because the idea of shooting drug smugglers with harpoons gives me the fizz (yes I know that was not their intended purpose, but a boy can dream!)

    Unmanned aircraft: MQ-9 Block 5 Ghost Reaper. The Advanced Battlefield Management System looks awesome. Not only that but the technological strides made with the MQ-9 every year are awesome.

    Fighter: J-10C because it is an extremely capable 4.5 gen fighter for China's intended use. PL-15 AAM is pretty gnarly too. Oh, and canards. Canards make me hards

    Bomber: Tu-160 because it is basically a guided missile destroyer that flys

    Reconnaissance: OV-10 Bronco. Honestly my favorite aircraft of all time. "Shoot my smoke!"

    Attack: A-29 Super Tucano. The concept hearkens back to the OV-10 but is also just a really cool light attack aircraft

    All I can really think about off the top of my head.

    I'll take the Javelin's shorter range in exchange for not sitting still after firing until the missile hits the target.
