10 Most Manliest Firearms? Are there More?
« on: July 28, 2008, 09:36:18 PM »
What do you think.

Personally, I didn't see a couple of my choices but they were pretty close.
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

I think that's a pretty good list. I personally would have put Teddy Roosevelt's Winchester 1895 at the top of of any mannliest gun list, but there were some on there that I'm more interested in now.

a must read.  Here are a few quotes:

"However, the only acceptable caliber for a man to carry is .45 ACP.  10mm is good but hard to find, .40S&W is a wussified 10mm that the FBI created when it found out its agents weren't manly enough for 10mm, .357 Sig is excellent but hard to find, .45 GAP is new and untested, .380 is only acceptable as a backup caliber, and no man would be found dead with a 9mm.  Actually, a man knows he WOULD be found dead with a 9mm, because a 9mm is a .45 set on stun, and real men do not believe in stun."

"All myths aside, the 5.56 mm round has killed a LOT of Asian losers who thought they could screw with Americans and come out ahead.  If anyone doubts it, I have a standing offer to meet them at 500 yards and we'll swap fire.  I get to shoot first.  At 500 yards, a 5.56mm still packs more energy than a .45 ACP does at the muzzle.  That's plenty of power.  And it's not a sniper rifle.  You should not be engaging at that range with an assault rifle.  It's made to be light, deadly and face-to-face.  It's the modern equivalent of the Viking's bow and broadsword."

I really laughed at this one:  "I've attached the following pictures, to show the phallic excess one can achieve for a laugh, and to prove that my 9 year old daughter is more of a man and warrior than you.  But you can get there if you work at it, and start by buying a good gun and learning how to use it.  AR15s start at $550 and go up.  Generally, the manlier the more expensive, but over $2000 indicates you are just showing off"

To sum up:  I would love to sit down and drink a beer or ten with this guy.
The person who has nothing for which his is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
- J.S. Mill

I think he missed the ball by leaving out the pre-1900 lever action and a good single action colt.  Think John Wayne. 

Also, instead of the Russian, British and Swiss arms, how about a Revolutionary period musket loader.   Think Minutemen.   

And what about a Garand?   Greatest rifle ever.

Yes, what about the Garand? or the single action colt? I was also thinking a side by side coach gun or would be a good choice for a manyly blaster.

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. - George Washington

I guess I am only 20% man b/c I too only own two of these......... However, I almost bought a Remington 870 when I was shotgun shopping...... I went with the Bennlli Nova instead.
Everything I needed to learn in life I learned from Country Music.
