There were so many-so hard to choose. The HK MP5 Navy version comes out number 1 and a close second is the M2, but then there was the 90mm recoilless and the 81 mm mortar...….dang, so much fun..

I think the gunners on the battleships have us all beat.

Except for the machine guns I've shot where others were paying for the ammunition, my favorites are three:

Shotgun: my 1954 12 ga. Browning Superposed skeet gun. I've shot more ammo through that one gun than all the rest of my collection combined. When I shot competitively, it became part of me. Sadly all of me wasn't that great a shot, but for sheer joy, that's the one gun I won't part with, this side of the crematoria.

Pistol: my 1992 SIG P226 in 9x19mm. It literally is the gun that changed pistol shooting for me. It fit my hand as if it was custom made. It's the last handgun I'll part with.

Rifle: whereas I'll keep my AR-15 SBR because of tax stamps and two suppressors that work on it, my most fun rifle is an old Browning T-bolt that I got from the pile of confiscated guns Odin International imported from Mexico in 1981-1983. A few years ago I had it threaded for my AAC Pilot suppressor and it made it even more fun to shoot. With CCI Green Tag or other match ammo, it is a 1.5 MOA rifle to 100 yards. With subsonic ammo, it is air rifle quiet.

Now if I must choose among these, the Superposed, even though parting with the others would be painful.

My Kidd Innovations 10/22. It may be boringly accurate, but that is part of the charm, plus it is so damned reliable. Speed shooting a B-25 mag full of ammo is a lot of fun. It is really easy to go thru a brick in no time.

I'm a cheap date.

My Henry Lever in .22, especially shooting shorts: Pop.....sssssssssssssssssss....tink!

Ruger Single Six with a red dot using clay pigeons for a target. 25 yards or so, wrists resting on the hood of the truck. I can go through a case of birds in one session pretty easily.

M60 and M79 Thumper have to be mentioned for sure.

For the shear fun factor now I'd have to say my Henry H01 .22 lever gun and my Ruger Mk3 .22 pistol. Hours of fun for $25 or so.

Borrowed: MP 5 in 10mm (from my FBI friend)

Personally owned: BHP

Tie between a full auto M4 SBR or a suppressed Walther PPK.
Couldn't decide if it was more fun to be Val Kilmer from Heat or James Bond.

I like the mechanical exercise of shooting and cycling my Winchester 94

The most fun one I’m shooting now is the Shockwave. Love that thing.

Ruger Blackhawk in 357, and Ruger mini 14.

I have fired a lot of different weapons between the military, LEO, and as a civilian. M2 50 cal, M60, M16, M79, MP 5, MK 19, UMP 40, AK, ......

But I think that one of the most fun ones to shoot would be the M 249 SAW. It has a high cyclic rate, and low recoil. It was a blast to shoot on a 1 way firing range. On a 2 way firing range tgat thing sucked, it always drew a lot of incoming fire.

GAU-16 in my day and now upgraded to the GAU-21. Yes good times

I was fortunate enough to make friends with the H-60 Helo guys and to shoot 2 x boxes of 50cal through one at tanks in the Fallon Ranges.

Fun as hell but a lot harder than it looks (for the first half of the flight I watched 2 x AWs shoot at things) before getting the trigger time.

Maybe I should have specified non-NFA or military only guns?

When I would mag dump the Vepr all shooting at the range would come to a stand still to watch

Borrowed: a grease gun. Uber controllable.

Mine: a CSA vz58 in 7.62x39. Lighter and more precise than any AK I’ve shot.

Very Cool. It's amazing what you can get from the Black Shoes with a Helo ride and some trigger time.

The closest I ever game to dying was in the back of a Helo was doing a Break Lock EX on a range at Fallon. One pilot was screaming "I GOT IT, I GOT IT!!!!" the other pilot was just screaming
NOT a good time.

I like shooting my 5.56 Mk12 Mod 1 at 3-500 yards. Use 77gr OTM rounds which have gotten much cheaper these days. Really fun.

It's a tie - mp5 subgun and a suppressed full auto 10\22. The 10\22 has a cyclic rate around 1100 rpm and with the suppressor all you hear is whapwhapwhap.
