Only half of my favorites are favorites because they're practical. Haha

 

The one that's never used.

 

M1919. Really anything John Browning invented.

 

Ship Los Angeles class improved fast attack.
Plane the doggone A-10 brrrrrttttt! Baby.
Rifle M-14
Pistol 1911
Soldier the US Marine. They have no back up in them.
General Stonewall Jackson, he did not waste his soldiers lives.
Missile ground attack Tomahawk
Missile air Aim-9 Sidewinder.
WWII planes tie Me-109 and P-51 merlin engine.

 

Went to school for this:

 

Anything light or that you don’t need to carry .

I have a soft spot for MLRS / HIMARS, pretty awesome to be able to take out a grid square.

Crew served my favorite was the MK19...thump, thump, thump

 

M1 Garand

 

I had a MK19 and the M2 in my weapons station, sidearms were a basic M16, 1911, a Mossberg 12g. We towed quiet a few Line charges ( M58's?) for the grunts to blown shit up, it made a nice hole in the ground.

 

M240B will always have my heart. Humped that thing many of times in Afghanistan.

 

Brasso.

 

The CH-53E:


If you can crash it, chances are we can carry it

 

AR-15

 

Unless it tears the head of a case off, leaving the body in the chamber, and tries to stuff another round in the chamber. On the range, no big deal. When charlie is shooting at you different story.

 

Clean the weapon.

 

They've come a long way since charlie's time. I used the shit out of mine (multiple ones over the years) when haj was shooting at me and didn't have a problem.

 

If you wanna go back a few years.....

P47 Thunderbolt
P38 Lightning

Iowa Class Battleships

 

It was happened in first mag. I’ll take an M14 any day of the week.

 

Wait... who's had a (semi) AR downrange? srsly.

 

Apparently you misunderstood. It was an M16 not an AR.

You know how they work. You fire a chambered round. The bolt carrier moves rearward unlocking the bolt. The case is extracted and ejected. Then as the bolt moves forward it strips a round from the mag and chambers it.

Now imagine the case head tears off. The case body stays in the chamber the a live round is shoved into that.

Is that any clearer.

The kids who used the latest and greatest version of the M16 in even the First Gulf War had a firearm that benefited from about 40 years of improvements. Completely different ammo. And a completely different environment.

My opinion stands. You are entitled to yours.
