The M4/AR type rifle sort of takes the cake though. If you think "hey it would be cool if they had an AR with (blank)" there is a good possibility that there is one to suit your needs. I've seen muzzleloader AR's, AR's that shoot 5.7, crossbow AR's. If you want it, someone makes it

The versatility is awesome, the gun as a whole just doesn't do it for me. Its just too....plasticy. Is like a a2 style Ar someday for target and match shooting, but I like the solid feel of the m1a for cool factor.

I gotta go with the Mauser C/96. Though Webley & Scott autoloaders are a close second. They work like nothing else ever made, and yet they do it well.

The c96 looks cool, and is cool because it was like the first successful autoloading military pistol.

Well, were saying coolest gun, not best combat handgun. Gotta admit, c96s are badass.

I think when it came out, the C96 beats out anything that was out at the time

I wish someone would make a reproduction of the C-96. I know Astra and NORINCO made them, but I want one made by a company I can trust so I don't have to worry the gun kB'ing.

I wish Ruger would make a c96 in .22lr. They make solid guns at good prices. And I anticipate mt2008's comeback, so ill say now. RUGER IS A MCH DIFFERENT COMPANY NOW, BILL IS DEAD. The people in control know there stuff, and make solid guns, good prices, have a couple of the most favored CC offerings right now, sell more wheelguins than smith and the p95 may be the best deal in 9mm semis going. I like ruger.

I don't care, I'll still never buy a Ruger for as long as I live.
