Is that considered a gun?

I whole heartedly agree with you there. The mk2 is a close 2nd but you just can’t beat a full auto grenade launching machine gun that lobs grenades nearly the size of a coke can way off in the distance.

Bullets are fun, no matter what, but HE is funner.

Hawken .50 caliber I made from a T/C kit. Nothing like a smoke pole to take shooting.

I am ex military and I will add to that list a Ma deuce.

M2 Carbine.

I'm gonna have to say my Marlin 1894 in .357. Supurb handling, fast to operate, enough recoil to know you're shooting a real gun but not enough to cause a flinch, and rounds leave the barrel like a guided missile...I can't seem to miss with it. There's just something satisfying about working the lever on that thing.

I'm not a CAS shooter, and a lot of my range time is spent working on skills with plastic semi-autos, but single-action revolvers and lever guns are my guilty pleasure. Not only are they fun to shoot, but every time I hold one it reminds me of a time when many Americans gave up comfort and security in exchange for the freedom of westward exploration, and had to depend on themselves for their own survival and success.

I'll be the boring guy here. I still love shooting my early 1960's Marlin Model 60 .22lr I bought at a local pawn shop for $35 a number of years ago because it didn't work. Took me 20 minutes and $0 to fix it, and I've been enjoying the heck out of it ever since. Some pleasures are really cheap.

MP5 w/ A2 stock, with the happy switch set to ecstatic.

Ruger Vaquero, old model, in 45LC.

Based on my personal round count, it would be hard for me to argue against the Ruger 10/22. That model has brought me joy to shoot since I was 10 years old.

I did the GI stuff but it was so closely supervised that it was not really fun.
Exception: GAU-5. Always fun!
And the most fun I had (and my grail gun) was the Thompson.
Champagne taste.... Beer budget.

Anything full-auto with free ammo and getting paid direct deposit twice per month.

A restored Gatling Gun. Yes, I had visions of Rooster Cogburn floating down the river on a raft cranking one off.

M1 Carbine is a real fun lil plinker! The M-2 "Maw Duce" is great to bang away with, more so if you're not humping it around the world with you.
HK MP-5 with the giggle switch was a great gun to have, especially when Uncle Sugar was paying for the ammo! Even better when it was the SD variant

But the one that REALLY got the juices flowing was a traditional, old school Tommy Gun. And yes, in full auto!
The instructor told me "only 3-5 round bursts!"
Even then, the 4th and 5th rounds were high and right. But then, at some point, your inner child kicks in, and you just gotta let her rip!!!!


But now, something about going out with my 10/22 or a friends 10/77, $20 worth of ammo, at 25-30 yards, and seeing what I can do.

M1 Garand

I have rented and shot a number of submachine guns. The most "fun," I would say, was a Thompson. I did Edward G. Robinson impressions while shooting it. It was quite accurate, too, having a compensator to hold down the muzzle climb, which, with its extreme drop at the stock, would be considerable without one. This was followed closely by the HK MP5 because of its accuracy. In my personal guns, the most "fun" have been .22s. These included a Ruger 10/22, a CZ452 "Training Rifle" and my current Ruger 22/45 Lite.

GAU-17. Hands down the most fun I've ever had behind the trigger.

M-120
