Well This Ill tell ya , the turret guns in the Millinum Falcon that were rotational , were as cool as it gets !

OK , back to reality The Mini gun M134 is as cool as it gets I think. I have looked into a BB gun version of it, There is a company out of Texas that will make a duplicate that is exactly as the original that shoots

The main gun on the M1A2 Abrams MBT, the M256 120mm firing APFSDS rounds at a live target tank. Though the chain gun would be some serious fun also.
 
+1 on the chain gun. Second on list would be a 50 cal rifle...something about knocking down steel targets at 1000+ yards seems kinda cool.

Rephrase that: 50 cal at 1000 yards would probably go right thru the targets if it didnt blow them up completely. Cool :)

I'm saving to buy Ron Barrett's new .416 cal M82A1 which
should be available in mid-2008. The .416 shoots flatter
and farther than the .50 BMG while neatly circumventing
the asinine and unconstitional anti-50BMG laws which the
most socialistic states are passing.
 
Hmmmmm....not familiar with 416 cal. Is it a common round? Expensive?

Ive heard of the new .416 round and I hear its mean.
 
My favorite gun comes with wings

The AN/GAU-8a 30mm Avenger seven-barrel gatling gun, mounted only on the A-10 attack jet, is a 30mm, 7 barrel gatling gun used primarily in the air to ground role as a soft target killer and tank buster.

This aircraft is used for close-air support in attacking ground threats such as armored tanks and vehicles, and also serves as a forward air control observer for sighting ground threats and directing air strikes against enemy targets.

The gun, mounted in the fuselage nose of the A/OA-10 Thunderbolt, is produced by [ex General Electric] Martin Marietta Armament Systems.

According to some sources, the GAU-8 fires 1,800 rounds per minute, with the higher 4200 rd/min rate having been deleted in the 1980s. However, the A-10 can only fire in high rate, which is 3900 rounds per minute.

The rockets and bombs aree handy to have in case you get a little trigger happy, Dont take long to run out of ammo at 3900 rounds per minute,

I thought you needed a Federal Dealers license (level 4?) for any fully automatic weapon in any state.

If not, then I want a P-90 like on Stargate.:cool:
 
I've seen that posted in another forum. Some of the guys said it's not a very accurate gun, more or less just splatters a zone/area with bullets. Think of it as a big shot gun.

The gun is an off-development of a close range ship mounted automatic anti-missile system which attempts to predetonate an incoming missile. At least that's what the other guys said.
 
I'd like to shoot the Gustav gun. I better ware my earplugs for this one! :devil:

The design called for "a gun able to pierce a meter of steel, seven meters of concrete, or thirty meters of dense earth."

"... the entire machine stood 4 stories tall, 20 ft. wide and 140 ft. long. Moving, positioning, loading and maintaining this monster required a 500-man crew commanded by a major general.

"The Gustav's 800mm [approx. 2.6 feet] bore accepted two giant projectiles: a 10,584-pound high-explosive shell and a 16,540-pound concrete-piercing shell. ... the Gustav could strike targets up to 29 miles away." -Popular Mechanics

You guys need to listen to more music and watch less movies. Start with Britten's War Requiem.:(:(

While it does not have the shear fire power of the aforementioned guns, the
6 PPC is still the gun of choice for those of us who like to shoot "one hole" groups @100 & 200 yds.

Interesting history on the Gustav Gun after the war ended we never found the gun. Doubtful that it is still out there. Most likely scrapped by the Germans.

The 416 is a Barrett wildcat of the .50 Browning Machine
Gun round. It's just a necked-down 50BMG with a sleeker
bullet. It has an insane ballistic coefficient (around .920)
which keeps the bullet supersonic out to 1.4 muh-muh-
miles. Initial reports are that cold, first-time bullseyes at
1,200 yards are common with this round.

Each round should cost about the same as a 50BMG, which
means that it's really, really expensive. A case of eighty
50BMG rounds costs about $325.

Although I've never owned a Big Fifty, I've fired them on
several occasions and was hooked the first time. I plan to
join the Fifty Caliber Shooters Association and participate
in their competitions soon as I can score a gun.

Not to buy. The Feds do the regular firearm background
check, you fill out a BATF form confirming you are a US
citizen, and then you pay a one-time $200 tax.

Of course, State and local laws also apply.

I've known several people who collect and shoot machine
guns. I've fired them but I don't especially care for that
hobby myself. It's too easy to burn $300 in ammo in a few
seconds and not hit anything. And the barrel must be
replaced every 10,000 rounds or so. Bleh.

You can actually buy a GE .308 cal minigun, but it'll run
you about $300K.
 
Guns are scary. I don't like them one bit. I don't ever want to shoot any gun! I prefer peace, love and an administration who feels war is not the answer. :rocker:

Hola...here in Costa Rica we have no army! But I belong to our sport shooting Olympic federation. Also I won last month our national 2007 championship in air pistol. I shoot a Steyr LP-10 4.5 mm caliber. Also won silver at the Jose España Grand Prix and Central American Championship that was held in El Salvador on November, by teams (two participants by team)...if you like guns, try Olympic guns, they are meant for precision shooting and for sports, not for killing. I can say that more I shoot, the more I know myself. Guns don't kill, is the guy who pushes the trigger. He is the killer!...I do not like automatic weapons meant for killing! or any that is meant for this purpose. In the Olympic shooting sport only .22 caliber is allow and in shotguns (skit or trap), the powder and the quantity of ammo is regulated. I only shoot air, my ears don't suffer and my wallet too. Happy listening,
Roberto.:music:
