Well, since we're talking about Sex, Cars, Football and other unrelated stuff, I just wanted to know if there are any of you out there who have a passion for, or at least an interest in firearms. I have been into guns ever since I can remember and I would like to know your thoughts on the subject. I would also like to know what in your opinion are the best firearms and ammunition ever made and why. I don't claim to be an expert but I will also try to answer questions regarding firearms and for those questions beyond my capacity to answer, maybe like minded individuals among you can help me. For those who hate guns you can also voice out your opinion in this forum so we can discuss these things like educated people.

To start with here are my initial salvo of choices on the best firearms ever made:
Colt 1911A1 .45 cal pistol- A fossil considering its age but still one of the better guns out there. Nice design, good balance and a very effective caliber
Colt 5.56mm M-16 rifle variants- much maligned during the vietnam war but has proven itself in the various theatres and operations that it has been part of.
Glock pistol variants- Revolutionized the way guns are made. Didn't like it at first but learned to appreciate it especially the Glock 21 and 30(.45 cal variants)
Heckler and Koch USP and Mk23 .45 cal pistol variants- nice design, used by special ops, great durability and reliability and promises to be a successor to the 1911.
Ruger .44 magnum Super Blackhawk revolver- Can't find a use for this powerful single action revolver, but its one of my favorites because of its stopping power, accuracy, and nice feel.
What do you guys think?

Nice choices, all sub-machine guns and all available in counterstrike. You must be a player:-)

I like the para-ordnance. It has the enduring qualities of the 1911 w/ more rounds. Btw congrats doctabaco 4 nice topic. Shooters ready! Standby...toot!

Thanks.I agree with your choice, in addition the 14.45"limited" version out of the box is nice for practical shooting but could do well with the addition of hi-viz sights. Verify!!!

If you're talking about the automag II, I believe that would be hard to come across here in the Philippines. Good luck in your search though.

@terrence wonderful hobby used to play that before i graduated to real guns, it teaches you the rudiments of gun handling and safety. It's also the closest thing to a real whup ass gunfight since you get to shoot at real people.:-D

@doctabako hehe! Hell yeah. It's real fun but a very expensive game. Havent tried firing a real gun but i saw my friend fire an m4 carbine. Wow! Didnt have much recoil but it sounded like a cannon.

Actually the muzzle blast of a 16inch barreled M4 is actually an improvement over its predecessors the 10 inch xm177e1 aka infant armalite and 11.5 inch xm177e2 aka commando which had a much louder report. The loudest guns i've fired so far are the .30-06 M1 garand, .308 M14 and the .44 mag super blackhawk which sounds like a power transformer blowing up.
