No love for the 1911?

A better thread would have been:

What single military weapon has killed the most US enemies?

Hard to argue with this one. How long has that gun been in service? Anything been in service longer, and used in such a wide variety of applications?

Yeah I think John Browning started working on it after WWI and it was produced in like the very early 1930s or so. Amazing how many incredible firearms were designed by him. It stands with the A-10, B-52 and the 1911 as rock solid tools of war.

My pop’s Inland M1A1 .30 cal carbine



Alternate A

His Remington Rand 1911 45



Too bad both of them were in that piroque he was in on the Mississippi River duck hunting when it capsized.

General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger:

30mm hydraulically driven seven-barrel Gatling-style autocannon

I especially like the plane they built around it.

Nobody wants to list the ArmeLite rifle 15.

The platform for the M4 and M16 and the single scariest weapon ever released the AR15. It is rumored the AR15 will end the world - Signed Media

That's what I'm saying. Glock went into production in the 80s.
