Now and again when you are drinking go pee around the porch. It helps keep away wild animals. The wildlife thinks you are beta cause you haven't marked your territory.

Colt 1911 is my favorite In my collection; it points naturally, makes big holes, and the weight makes recoil manageable. Plus you could bludgeon somebody with it should you run out of ammo... It's a classic still kicking 100+ years later

Toss up between SKS and ACR
ACR could edge it out due to the ability of rechambering it to fire 7.62x39mm rounds.

Having tons of fun with my new Ruger Mini 14 and my Mosin Nagant (my first gun) will always have a place in my heart, but the Walther PPK is my absolute favorite. Good enough for Archer and Bond, good enough for me.

^^^I think it's a prop gun from the movie "Aliens".
Looking at it closely, the receiver appear to be from a WW2 Thompson SMG...then a bunch of parts were stuck to it.
If only you knew how bad things really are.

I've shot more guns than I can remember but as far as fun goes, my absolute favorite was the almost a century old Browning Assault Rifle. Well, a replica...
On the practical side, I have no favorite. Guns are tools. You pick the best one for the job.

I own quite a few firearms like most any native Texan
My favorite handgun is my Ruger Superblackhawk single action .357. I picked up 2 of them when I got into cowboy action shooting and fell in love with how well they shoot, not only that you can fire .38 special, .38 +p, and change out the cylinder to fire 9mm. They are so accurate you could hunt with these things.
My favorite conceal carry is my Ruger LCR357 with a lazermax, imo nothing beats a wheel gun for self defense. I usually carry it with 38 special for the reduced recoil, 357 in this thing kicks like a mule.
My favorite fun gun that really has no use is my Saiga 410 with a slidefire stock and 30 round drum. It is just pure ridiculousness

Fuck the M-16. Malfunctions and high-maintenance costs led to the deaths of many US servicemen in Vietnam. Armalite offered the far superior AR-15 to the military but was shot down due to the American tradition of buying strictly from the Springfield Armory.
A Vietcong corpse was uncovered buried with his AK-47 in Vietnam years after war's end,. The rifle was caked in mud and dirt but they fired off the remaining rounds in the magazine right away with no jams. Sneeze on/near your M-16 and 50/50 chance it'll jam.

What you say regarding reliability issues is mostly true, at least back in the day, but Colt produced the M-16 not the Springfield Armory. I have never heard that.
You are correct, Colt was the main producer. Though there were others, I never heard of Springfield making one (though they did make M1 and M14 rifles). What Checkmat refers to is a lot of misinformation about problems that mostly had to do with the crappy ammunition and early production faults of the M16 system. Most of those problems were worked out very quickly and the M16/M4 platform is pretty reliable and versatile nowadays.
That said, weapons are like golf clubs - there is no one weapon correct for every shot, yet it's usually impractical to carry a golf bag full of weapons for any situation. I like it, but it isn't the only one in my bag of tricks.

Anyone experienced with .22 rimfires? How do they compare to regular centerfired?
