What gun would you bring to a gun fight?

[Parker 1st MRB]

Simple question, what would you bring to a gun fight?

- It has to be a firearm.

- It has to be real (no blasters Magoo)

- It has to be hand held and ideal (i.e. no tanks or something ridiculous like that)

Basically, answer the question and try not to be a wise guy

I would bring a Remington 700 SPS Tactical Rifle a.) because it's awesome and b.) because I own one and feel pretty comfortable with it.

[Morton]

M16A4.

[T. Brown 1st MRB]

Wise-guy answer (because I do what I want!):

Real answer (assuming it is relatively close-quarters):

GLOCK.

I'm a stick-and-move type of a guy, I need something small yet durable to keep up with me.

[Acton]

An M4A1

All day every day ladies.

[Arsenault 1st MRB]

I'd probably go with the M4A1 too but my second choice would be (still considering it close quarters) an MP-5.

The Mk 19 is a belt fed, blowback operated, air cooled, crew served, fully automatic weapon that is designed not to cook off. It fires 40 mm grenades at a cyclic rate of 325 to 375 rounds per minute, giving a practical rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute (rapid) and 40 rounds per minute (sustained). The weapon operates on the blowback principle, which uses the chamber pressure from each fired round to load and re-cock the weapon. The Mk 19 is able to launch its grenade at a maximum distance of 2,212 meters, though its effective range for a point target is about 1,500 meters, since the large rear leaf sight is only graduated to 1,500 meters. The nearest safe distance to launch the grenade is 310 meters in training and 75 meters in combat. Though the Mk 19 has a flash suppressor, it serves only to save the eyesight of its operator; it does not conceal the weapon's position. For night operation, an AN/TVS-5 night vision sight can be fitted.

And yes there is a sling option which technically then makes it a hand held unit

Sig Sauer P226

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

M1 Carbine

[S. Richards]

Taurus Raging Judge carrying a .410 winchester load. Revolvers > Semi Auto. Why? They don't jam.

If I had to go with a different caliber though it would have to be 10mm. 10mm ascertains the highest muzzle velocity, which equivalates to the most stopping power.

A little modifying and fabrication and I don't think a slide rail is out of the question either.

[Cast 1st MRB]

Well whats the most common bullet found? I would go with that gun

[Marchese 1st MRB]

It's a toss up for me.

Either a M11911A1 Supressed

Or AR15 Surpressed with forgrip, Acog Scope and Adjustable Stock

Though would prefer both

Depends on where the treasure map's X is. If the mark is on your local walmart I'd say .22. If the mark sends you to Cabelas I'd say 30-06. And if it sends you to Hoffmans guns I'd say 9mm - 7.62.

But then again, I buy bullets instead of finding them.

always gotta plan for the end of the world or zombies lol

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

.22 is the most popular for target practice 9mm is the most common for pistols and .223 is the most common in rifles.

[Mottola 1st MRB]

G36c. Light weight and accurate as well as dependable but its a lot of plastic which is the down side

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

I don't think he said "What gun would you bring to the Zombie apocalypse." I don't think scavenging weapons and ammo holds any importance.

[Peaker]

As a side arm i'll take a pair of those (No, not because I want to dual wield, because I'm lazy and don't want to reload in a firefight). .45 for the win!

As my main weapon, i'll have one of those. Built in rangefinder? Sign me up. I'd rather be a click away and checking my match grade ammo rather than in the thick of things, thank you very much

[J. Anderson 1st MRB]

The AK-5 the swedish version of the FN FNC Assault rifle.

The Smith & Wesson M500 Hand cannon gotta love it

[J. Anderson 1st MRB]

And also if almost every weapon in the world would fail... this is the obvious weapon to take great stopping power quite cheap and very very durable

AK-47 with a GP-25 Grenade Launcher

[Lafy BAR]

In the hopes that my opponent follows my lead and also brings a weapon with foam projectiles.

[Giovannoli 1st MRB]

My Grandfather's Remmington 700.

[evo-lution ßÄЯ]

Artic warfare magnum firing the amazing 338. Lapua Magnum round.

close combat i'd take a P90 with me.

There really wasn't enough detail in the question to give a proper answer.... 1v1? short range? long range? is there a chance anybody has body armor on? 1v1 short range, maybe a full auto shotgun... walk 10 paces, turn and draw? maybe a glock 20... counter-sniping... i suppose it really comes down to the skill of the shooter more than the rifle.

[Parker 1st MRB]

If the question was to difficult for you to answer then don't answer it. Most people didn't have a difficult time answering it so I'm pretty sure it was simple enough to understand. But hey, not everyone understands simplicity.
