Favorite "gun" scene in a movie?

1960 movie "The Magnificent Seven". The gunfight at the end was the best from that era. Shootists at the end of the old west as they knew it. This was their swan song and they knew it. I watch it every time it's on the tube.
 
The scene in Police Academy at the firing line where Tackleberry blows away half the target. "Son, where did you get this gun?" "My mom gave it to me!"
 
The Departed - when DiCaprio gets one between the eyes as the elevator opens, followed almost immediately by the heavy set black guy being shot by the other mole followed almost immediately by Damon shooting the other mole. Great scene.
 
Blazing Saddles was a great movie. The shootout / chase scene at the end of that is about as crazy as it gets. Wilder made a lot of good movies.
 
Bravo Two Zero - SAS 8 man patrol battling Iraqis in the open desert.

Collateral - Tom Cruise cleaning house in Club Fever.

Heat - DeNiro saying goodbye to Van Zant and Waingro.

+1 and the scene in Bullet at the airport where Steve McQueen nails the BG through the glass door. Also, don't for get THE GETAWAY hotel scene
 
Inception has some very good fight scenes, but I would have to say the extraction scene in Act Of Valor is my all time favorite.
 
The scene in "True Lies", where the gun bounces down a stairway, taking out a bad guy or three on each bounce. :D

Orrrr...the scene in the really bad Sci-Fi thriller (don't remember the name...Drat!) where Roddy Piper walks into a bar, says "I have come to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I just ran out of bubble gum", then unlimbers his 12 gauge pump!
 
I have 2, the first is the mountain setup in "Shooter" and the second is Rampage Jackson in the tunnel with the AA12 in "The Expendables". Definitely need an AA for home defense, never can too much fire power!
 
Eldraque, I had forgotten about that one. "Oh yeah." He was such a magnificent SOB in that movie. .45 on one side, big pipe wrench on the other.

INRE: Gene Wilder. Apparently there was a hoax this week or last that he had died.
 
When they cleared the village in Tears of the Sun.

Or possibly when they took out the gorilla kaje in Pacific Rim while using a defensive retention position. Just slightly upscaled with giant robots and plasma cannons :p
 
Thanks,Sol!
Woops! I forgot two that even my wife loved: "Reds" and "Reds 2", The opener in "REds" was a real eye-opener, and in "2", Helen Mirren is really elegant, and my wife loved it when she opened up her fur coat, with all the guns. They are on our "Buy for sure" list! :D


Ohhh...just one more, please..."TRUE GRIT" with The Duke where he faces a group of baddies, and says "FILL yore hand, you SOB!"

Being new here, I don't know if that would be considered vulgar language, but I think my Grandma would have totally enjoyed it. If it is, moderator, please feel free to remove it.

I already answered earlier, but I believe I may have to amend my previous choice and replace it with one of the ending scenes in Rambo 4; you know, where he gets on the vehicle-mounted machine gun and distributes the gift that keeps on giving.
 
A truly dedicated and honorable American man who suffered deeply when he returned home, yet still made a life in spite of his troubles.

My WWII vet father revered him.

To Hell and Back was not the greatest movie, but it told the tale, in principal, of what that child/man did for the country that was America.
