This is a list of Guns that you really do not care to own, nor could own, due to scarcity or expense of purchasing said firearm, but you really want to shoot at least once.

PLEASE do not make this a listing of guns you want, but a list of guns you only want to shoot a bit.

I would like to shoot a S&W 460 in an X frame S&W at least once,
I would like to shoot a BPCR match with a 45/120 just one full match,
I would love to shoot one of ZAK Smith' Longrange Rifles w/ suppressor,
I would love to shoot Bullfrogken's 1911 in 9x23,
I want to shoot a M1A Thompson with a bunch of stick mags.

There will be more as I think of them...
What about you?
 
M2 Browning "Ma Deuce" Heavy Machine Gun
M134 Dillon Minigun
AA12 Shotgun
H&K UMP 45 Submachine Gun
Barrett M107A1 Sniper Rifle
 
an original walker colt
a punt gun
Lahti 20mm Anti-Tank Rifle
an original confederate Palmetto Armory musket
a full auto BAR
a Johnson M1941
 
I am sure there are a few guys out there in my position, when you have pulled the trigger on a 8in. & you have shot just about everything else & their is not anything that you would just get gitty all over about pulling the trigger on. O I am sure their is something out there, maybe a GAU-8 but I would have to be setting in a A-10 to do that & I don`t see that happening anytime soon !
 
I've shot a bunch of guns! I'd like to shoot a Thompson SMG, and never have.

Which Thompson? I dunno, I'll have to try all the variants to be sure. ;)
 
A percussion Sharps military rifle in the "Berdan's Sharpshooters" configuration.

A Spencer carbine.

A Mauser C96 "Schnellfuer" with the holster/stock attached.

An American 180 carbine in full rock 'n' roll mode.

A select-fire Bizon II, any caliber.

An original Czech "Skorpion".

An MP43/StG44.

<mtf>
 
A full auto Thompson SMG, w/ drum mag, is at the top of my "want to shoot" list.

Also, a Barrett .50 and anything fully automatic and/or suppressed, and anything mounted on a helicopter.
 
M2 (.50) machine gun.

In my old stomping grounds, Scottsdale Gun Club in AZ rents machine guns up to and including the M240 (7.62), but their backstop isn't set up for .50. The power limit is 8100 ft lb of muzzle smash.
 
The mini gun would be nice and same with the Warthog's
gun, but this one would be number one:

I worked at the shipyard where the Iowa was refurbished and recommissioned, it was my first job after I graduated from college. That was part of the qualification testing, to aim all three of the turrets to the side and fire all nine of the 16" guns at once. First time they did it, the entire battleship was moved athwartship by twelve feet and the muzzle blast killed seagulls.
 
I haven't shot a C-96, or a full auto AK, or a Bizon (which would be sweet!) or an M-2 carbine, or a grease gun, or.. well the list goes on and on doesn't it?
 
Full-auto Tommy gun.

Any full-auto gun actually. I was never in the military so never had an opportunity to do so.

It'd probably be fun to fire a $5000 1911 too, 'cause I'll never own one.
 
  • .45ACP Selective fire Thompson Submachinegun
  • 7.92mm Maschinengewehr MG42
  • .50 BMG Barrett M82 Sniper Rifle
  • .51 cal Gyrojet MkI Rocket Pistol
  • 7.65 mm Škorpion vz. 61 machine pistol
 
Something I never got to do back at Nightmare or Rodriquez Range....back in those days because we were flying NOE and slow and injesting all the smoke into the engine intake...but I'd give anything to take an AH-1G up to about 2500 feet AGL, kick it into a "whiffer-dill" and roll out and let loose with the XM35 cannon .... she'd shake ya 'bout near to death...but it would sure put those 20mm rounds where you wanted...since I'm older, wouldn't want to trust doing it at night anymore!
 
I see a lot of Full Auto guns on everyones list, One guy really screwed it up for all of us, if it weren't for Hughes alot of the guns could be had for cheap.

For me I will have to say the 16" naval guns like in the pic, Carne Frio you beat me to it
 
Um... wow on the U.S.S. Iowa photo, just wow...

On my bucket list... I would LOVE to get my hands on one of those beautiful high quality drillings in 12GA, 30.06 or .308 and .22LR

That would be my last gun... its like the Swiss Army Knife of firearms.
 
Not around here up in Metro Cleveland area. Maybe if I drive far enough I could, but I've never even seen one.
 
1. Any flintlock;
2. A .45 caliber Smith & Wesson Schofield revolver;
3. A P08 German Luger;
4. A .45 Colt Buntline.

Here's to our living long enough to accomplish these lists! :)
