This was a hard piece to write, because guns by definition are manly, except for Berettas, gold-plated TEC9s, .25 caliber pistols or anything made by the French. To simplify things, I have limited it to modern cartridge firearms a man might, can, and should collect and shoot. There are certainly other manly weapons, and you may have a different list. As long as the list contains nothing French, gold-plated, .25 or with pearl grips (which Patton correctly observed are the mark of a New Orleans pimp), it is a good list.

Does a job on a car but one shot seems limiting. Know where these were used? Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TC2xTCb_GU
IrishCatholic: I like the RPG, little heavy for coyotes though.
Guy is an Aussie. Maybe he uses it for roos.
:-)
Pretty good list.
Last one on the .50 was priceless....LOL.
Going thru what the panty-waste metrosexuals would call an “arsenal”, I have found 3 of the 10 in there. Like another poster said, “let the libturds figure out which ones”.
Go to iTunes, Amazon or Barnes and Noble and in music search enter Celtic Fiddle Festival. A lot of excellent guitar work also.
Only in the Democrat's world... I hold that almost no weapons that can be carried by a free man should be "illegal."
Yes, it IS a problem for those of us who do know-it-all...;^)>
Five out of ten. Not bad. Agree with you on the Dan Wesson. I’ve got a 15-2VH8 with three accessory barrels. I use the 8” barrel for target stuff, around home. The 6” is great in a shoulder rig under a jacket. The 4” sits nicely in a belt holster, and the 2” makes a statement for the wife, in her purse. I pack it with HK SpeedLoaders and a nice 125gr JHP custom load that is rather potent on most everything it hits. The 6” was the choice for my first qualification shoot in the Police Academy, many years back.
But, my all around favorite is the venerable 1911A1 running 230gr ball ammo in Chip McCormick 8-rd mags (for the perps that can count).
And, a Barrett would be a very nice addition to the arsenal. But, the financial gods have not been kind, of late. So, that will have to wait.
Bren 10 , Dan Wesson 357 MAXIMUM , Desert Eagle , Anything by Power Custom Handguns .
I’m kinda partial to the Panzerfaust, but then I’m sentimental for those cool German weapon names.
Does the Dan Wesson sound a lot louder than any other 357? I had a Ruger and a S&W as i recall, and neither of them were as loud as the Dan Wesson. Scairt myself to death first time i fired it.

That looks like a Vietnam War era M79 grenade launcher.
I wonder if there are any of them around? Hitler had em make a gazillion as I read for the Home Guard or whatever they were.
parsy, who likes the German stuff, too.
Twice in my life I have had a best friend that sometimes wore a version of that, they could hang it from their necks inside their jackets.

A double rifle in .450 Nitro Express.
1. Used to kill heavy game like elephants, rhinos and cape buffalo
2. Carried by Teddy Roosevelt to kill elephants, rhinos, and cape buffalo
3. I would carry one if I had to kill...a T-Rex or another type of dinosaur.
What about the No5 Mk 1, the so called "Jungle Carbine" ?
I have that with a 10 22 Ruger conversion kit.
fun shooter. Course, you walked with a limp if'n you carried in a holster...
