Bucket List of Guns you would like to shoot.

Any and all tank guns & artillery pieces, from the smallest up.
When I saw the thread topic, I thought of the Ma Deuce, 120mm tank gun and a 155mm Long Tom. Then I remembered Atomic Annie...:what: Yes, that would make me smile.:D
 
I'd have to go with the Ma Deuce, a .45 Thompson SMG and a .50 Barrett.

Oh yeah...those 16 inch guns on the Iowa would be AWESOME too!
 
One of those extremely tiny, obsolete rimfire calibers you read about in Cartridges of the World with a bullet diameter of like a tenth of an inch and a .2gr bullet. Just to see what it's like for something different.
 
Pretty much anything full auto and or belt fed, tommy gun, full auto ak, ma duce, GAU-8 Avenger. It'd be a dream to try taking down a RC drone with a quad 50 anti aircraft gun.

I'd like to shoot off a mortar or RPG sometime just to say I had. Along the same lines firing off some type of howitzer would be cool too.

I'd like to shoot a 10 gauge just because I haven't yet. I'd like to try some of the other big boys too like a .50BMG rifle or one of the 20mm anti tank rifles.

Honestly I can't think of too much I wouldn't wanna try shooting at least once.
 
Probably a HK P7M7 and one of the .45 Lugers made for the Army trials that eventually chose the M1911. Next on the list would probably be something like a .30 cal Browning belt fed MG shooting all tracers at night. I could never afford to buy and feed one of those, but I hope to see one at Knob Creek when I go up this year!
 
I'd like to spend a few hours with an:
M60
.30-30 bfr
a fully custom bench gun in .308
dillon aero minigun
gatling gun
4 bore double
a vierling
 
1. A Dillon Aero from a helicopter.
2. An Abrams Battle tank, altough I'd settle for a Paladin.
3. S&W .500 Magnum
4. A LAW, Javelin, or any shoulder fired rocket/ missile.

Pretty sure the only one on my list that will be fulfilled is the .500 mag.


I've already experienced the joys of Ma Deuce, Full Auto AK, the SAW, and the hardware of the AC-130H Spectre gunship (two M61 20mm vulcan cannons, 40mm Bofors and the mighty M102 105mm cannon.)
 
A .460 Rowland/.45 Win Mag Dan Wesson revolver
The prototype Taurus .223 7-shot revolver
The prototype 14" barrel .357-44 Bain & Davis Desert Eagle
An AR-15 in .357 Rimless Herrett
A Freedom Arms .357 Maximum single shot
 
PPSh-41
DShK 12.7mm
Lewis Gun
Maxim Gun
Browning M1919
Browning M2 .50

A custom Holland & Holland Double Rifle
(£95,000) chambered in an N.E. caliber.

Howitzer 105mm
BAR M1918
M2 Carbine
Thompson M1928A1

Others I can't think of right now..... :eek:
 
I have really shot all the different guns I would like to shoot. There are really no more that I would like to shoot. I have never shot a full-auto. However, I have seen plenty of videos of people shooting them, and that is enough for me to see, I don't feel I am missing out on the experience of shooting one.

The same holds true for a gun with a silencer. It would be nice to own one so I could pick off varmints in my yard without bothering the neighbors, however, short of that, I can see in the videos how nice they work. I don't have the urge or want to shoot one. When I shoot anything on my property, I am completely legal, so the neighbors who may not like it can be angry with me for all I care, I am still going to try to be friendly to them!

NOW, Had you asked me that question twenty to forty years ago, I would most likely name off a few guns. In my older age, I am becoming very satisfied with what I have (which is sometimes difficult in this dog-eat-dog world full of lust and riches). Wanting to shoot something I do not have would be akin to wanting anything that someone else has which I don't. I have reserved myself to the fact that there are things I will most likely never own, but that is OK.

It would be fun to own a really fast and powerful car, brand new. I'll settle with my ten year old truck.
 
AR with a happy switch. Just to see if I could hit anything with it.

Sixteen inch battleship guns. I wouldn't care to fire them since that's probably just a button-pushing operation somewhere else on the ship, but I'd love to watch the whole loading and firing operation in one of the turrets.

(I understand that they're not actually fired simultaneously, but are rapidly sequenced for one turret apparently to avoid the blast from one upsetting the trajectory of the neighboring gun.)

Ah luvs me mah ah-till-iry.
 
well I don't know if it's a "gun" so to speak, but the M2A1-7 flamethrower could be fun...

full auto BAR, but all cut down Bonnie and Clyde style, cause hey, who has any of those anymore?!

anything WW II era

as a child of the 80's I suppose an Uzi would be in order as well....
 
1. a .375 H&H Mag Double Rifle - in Africa
2. my grandfathers old pump action .22 - it disappeared when he passed.
3. an AMT Auto-Mag
 
I'd love the opportunity to try out any of the new/or already in use long range sniping rigs... 50bmg, 408 cheytac on some stuff that would go boom at well over a mile. Anything full auto looks like it would be fun, for a while. Full autos just kinda look like jet-ski's to me...they're fun for a few minutes, but after that you've got something that just isn't all that practical in a non-military (non-driving as fast as possible then doing a spin, repeat until bored) setting
 
Definitely the Gabbet-Fairfax Mars pistol in .45 mars

Stechkin Automatic pistol

An original PPSH with a 72 rd drum in 7.62x25 tokarev

Any rifle chambered for .950 jdj

The Colt .38 DA that Theodore Roosevelt carried at San Juan Hill

That's all I can think of right now.
