10 manliest firearms

List made by a Viking

Replace the Glock with the High Power and the list would be, in my opinion, absolutely perfect

That would be a pretty good choice for #1

M2 is manly, but even Terminator never carried one. Way too big and heavy, even if it does make Dirty Hary's .44 look like a popgun.

I think the Terminator couldn't carry an M2 because the actor couldn't carry an M2. I'm pretty sure in real life, the Terminator in its infinite strength can shoulder fire an M2 with no problem.

Or what about the minigun?

Watch the film "Nemisis"* Staring Oliver Grunner for a man packed M2.


*Remind me to get screencaps for that film as it has some nice gun's and some great lines.

Rambo was originally going to fire that Browning M2 Aircraft from the hip in the fourth movie, but they found it was too slow to manuever and holding it was tiring for Sly so they slapped it on a truck.

And you can't really "shoulder fire" an M2, it has no stock, just two spade grips.

Personally I think they could depict a Terminator firing an M2 easily if they just used some wires (deleted in post-production of course) to make it look like they are flawlessly wielding them.

It would be rediculous though

And a cybernetic organism bent on enslaving/destroying humanity ranks where on the "this is totally realistic and entirely possible" spectrum?

The guy packing one in Nemisis looked like a Pacific Ilander in a suit. I mean the guy was large enough to fire the weapon at a walk and have it look natural. As I said I need Screencaps.

That could be fixed like this (but weight is the problem):

That actually wasn't much of a fix. Units that got the A6s just sawed off the stock, put them back on tripods, and retained the BAR as squad automatic.

They didn't need to saw it off, it's detachable.

And still, putting a stock on an M2 would just be a terrible and impractical idea.

Blame Tales of the Gun. That's where I heard it.

...but itīs ok for some modern Rambo who can shoot them in akimbo style for a movie.

Swordfish941 09-11-2010 10:44 PM

The .45 should be #1.

It looks ridiculous on the Russian equivalent.
