What is/are your favorite weapon(s) | Or share ones you own

[HuskerDoggo]

I always have these random topics on my mind and wonder what opinions other people have. This one frequently crosses my mind so why not just make a post about it eh.

So it can be any weapon, fictional or not, and for whatever reason (looks, nostalgia, performance). Or share weapons you own yourself too.

My top 3:

1. HK XM8 carbine + compact PDW & LMG variant.
   I dont know why I'm so attached to this one. It just looks like a better of the G36, especially with a dual drum mag (but everything looks good with those).
   
   
   (props if you know where this image is from )
    
2. Mk 14 EBR.
   Has selective fire to switch between semi-auto to full auto.
   
    
3. Kriss Vector SMG.
   Just a cool looking, fast firing smg.
   

Honerable mention: L96A1 / L115A3 sniper rifle.

These are pretty much influenced by old games and my kid brain at that time.

Please do share your favorites, I'd appreciate it.

Well it's the only gun I own, it was my dad's first rifle. 

The Marlin 81. Bolt action and super accurate even with only iron sights. Dont judge me on the jerry-rigged led mount. It's the only way

 

I use it to hunt racoons that (used) to live in my attic.

[HIHIHI]

Not necessarily top three, or in any particular order... But...

Quite partial to the 1841 12 pdr. Mountain Howitzer on a Prairie carriage... Maybe because I'm on a crew that shoots a reproduction at historical events... : )

(Not ours)

Of course, who can dislike the mighty GAU-8 Avenger?

You had BETTER like the American 180! !noob anybody who doesn't.

Nice Marlin, rowe! I got me a Mossberk 151K... Fun little rifle. : ) And a Ruger MKII Target model - fun little pistol. : )

[HuskerDoggo]

@roweboat I have the rifle my grandpa used to have. I have never fired it before, I don't even know if it even can fire still.

It's apparently a "Shanghai Model 55" but I can barely find any info on it online and what it's worth. Only thing I think I know is that it takes .22 cal pellets?

sorry I'm no photographer and my room isn't very photo friendly.

[HuskerDoggo]

@HIHIHI looks like those big guns may be compensating for something 

 

[roweboat]

wow that Shanghai is really cool!

 

and yes @HIHIHI i think the GAU-8 Avenger is compensating for everything basically LOL

[HIHIHI]

Recoil from that thing is stronger than the twin jet engines on an A-10... Crazy. I got to hold an inert round for one once... They are a little bigger than a .22.

Nice rifle, Husker!

Big guns, eh? Our little howitzer is a little baby next to the 3" ordinance rifle a fellow battery owns. : ) Same size bore (12 pdr. is technically over 3 inches, but ours has a 3" I.D. steel sleeve for safety), but wheels, carriage, barrel length, etc are all bigger on that thing. : )

SHOTGUN cant own one because thats illegal lol

 

[HuskerDoggo]

anything more specific (fake) @jami?

[Mystic~]

For aesthetic I like the look of the M8 from Mass Effect games.

For traditional guns, I like the British top loading machine guns like the Bren that you see in some of the older WW2 movies.

[kenz3001]

this is my view on guns

 

as you can see guns should be cocked at all times

ive shot many guns but nothing beats the only, hand hand pistol

[HuskerDoggo]

@kenz3001 when will you finally put the hand gun in renx as a replacement to the shitty silenced pistol

I think you said you live in the UK if i remember correctly. They are legal there, don't know who told you otherwise.

If you truly want one go look up regulations in your area. You probably only need a hunting licence if anything.

Unless of course you are too young to own one.

[Mystic~]

People do clay pigeon shooting here in the UK, so it's definitely legal to own a shot gun with a licence.
 

I also used to enjoy watching this Russian guy do weapon demo's on his youtube channel.

1907 semi automatic.   My dad played with this as a youth at summer camps.   Rabbit gun.   Barrel is shot out.  about 500 for new barrel but only worth 500.  so it just sits around.

[HIHIHI]

That is very cool, isupreme. Early semi-automatics are always neat. Are the markings still legible? Do you know what model it is?

[Syntharn]

i have these.
2 old rapiers most likely intended for practice/decorative? me and friend found 2 old geezers in town that was selling a bunch of old stuff from a basement.
we payed like 8£ for the pair, went outside into the street and immediately started going at eachother like swashbuckling idiots.
The *blades* seems sturdy enough to be sharpened down into actuall blade shape if i wanted, i sometimes go outside into a small forest patch and whack some tall grass with them anyway.

And my bow, my drunk bow.
3-4 years ago i was at a party a bit outside the part of town i mostly hang around, ended up getting super drunk and staying till like 3 am.
Left party, knew that i lived more or less on the other part of a small forest and decided shortcut through.Ended up at a severly overgrown and abandoned tennis court with chain link fencing around it, crawling with plants almost forming a natural massive gazebo.
I saw a perfect tree for a bow and drunk wrestled with it for over an hour to get it down, it was close to pitch black night, i had no tools and was super drunk.
I remember dragging the tree across empty nights streets and then pushing it up to my balcony 2-3 meters above ground or so.
Spent next 2 days widdleing it down to size, about 2 meters long.
Oiling the wood and superglueing the leather from old belt to make a handle, twinning togheter strands of braided fishing line to make the string.

They all suck, but they are my favorites.

HIHIHI    it says it is  a  Winchester model 1903 .22 automatic      first patent is 1901.       I think it shoots something like a 22 long,    Maybe 7 rounds? loads thru the stock.      Kinda makes me feel like i am in a western when i  hold it

 

Syntharn    :    Nice bow!    07 for making it yourself.     I have some Osage Orange trees i keep looking at longingly.     I just know one day one of those trees will say     Here!   take this and make a bow.

[HIHIHI]

That's awesome, isupreme. And yeah, it does look like one of the old Winchester lever-actions. !rec Winchester

Could you not sell it on to a restoration or antiques expert? Or if it's sentimental, restore it and keep it.

[isupreme]

it is sentimental as my father sold off all the other guns.   I ' m rather sentimental.   My brother says :  " dad i buy what ever i need ".   o0

  My dad has learned to give all his old shit to me 

Like this collection.

Yeah I like to chop wood and make things...   so this shit is the bomb for me.

Weapons are certainly a very important part of every action game and it is almost impossible for any action game to be successful without having a great range of weapons. In the last year or so I played many games but the one game which I played mostly is call of duty: Warzone and I must say that this game has some of the best weapons range we have seen in recent times. My personal favorite weapon in this game is CR-56 AMAX.
