Fictional: Wunderwaffe DG-2
Yes, me and Mr. Sparky have fried many zombies.
Non-Fictional: M60
Have a SAW similar to the M249, but use 7.62mm rather than 5.56mm rounds.

No, actually, I think he was refering to the Hechler & Koch 416 (AKA the HK416)Wadders said:
I think it's actually starting to replace the M4s and M16s as the standard assualt rifle in the US.
While the latter bit you made is true, the former one is false.AjimboB said:They stopped the project because even the slightest bit of sand jammed the firing mechanism, making it completely unusable in desert conditions (the kind that we're fighting in right now).Jabberwock xeno said:Real life: the XM8 weapon system:
It was an experimental assault rifle with modular assembly that could be modified in the field, officialy for 4 variants, the default, cabinet, SAW, and DMR.
Despite the fact that it was over 5x more effective than the standard issue M416 in stoppage tests, the US army canceled the entire project.
Presumably because it looked to damn cool looking.
Fake: Every gun from borderlands, the fuel rod gun from halo.
Also, since the mechanism was so radically different from the M4 and M16, upon implementation of this rifle, the military would have had to completely reteach all personnel how to strip, clean, and maintain their rifles, as well as buying completely new tools for the job, which would cost them millions more, and they didn't want to do that.
As I said, in a stoppage test:
"Ten of each type of rifle were used to fire 6,000 rounds each, for a total of 60,000 rounds per rifle type. The M4 suffered far more stoppages than its competitors: 882 stoppages, 19 requiring an armorer to fix. The XM8 had the fewest stoppages, 116 minor stoppages and 11 major ones, followed by the FN SCAR with 226 stoppages and the HK416 with 233."
The XM8 jammed the least.
"The M4 carbine, the weapon soldiers depend on in combat, finished last in a recent "extreme dust test" to demonstrate the M4's reliability compared to three newer carbines.AjimboB said:And what conditions were those in? I only said it jammed because of sand, so unless this test was performed out in the desert, you have not proven me wrong.Jabberwock xeno said:While the latter bit you made is true, the former one is false.AjimboB said:They stopped the project because even the slightest bit of sand jammed the firing mechanism, making it completely unusable in desert conditions (the kind that we're fighting in right now).Jabberwock xeno said:Real life: the XM8 weapon system:

Weapons officials at the Army Test and Evaluation Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., exposed Colt Defense LLC's M4, along with the Heckler & Koch XM8, FNH USA's Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle and the H&K 416 to sandstorm conditions from late September to late November, firing 6,000 rounds through each test weapon"
I can assure you it's not. Maybe some SOF guys have gotten their fingers on it, but it's pretty far off from standard issue.TheYellowCellPhone said:No, actually, I think he was refering to the Hechler & Koch 416 (AKA the HK416)Wadders said:

Also, a M60 is hardly a SAW. GPMG maybe, but not really a SAW.
Ladies and gentlemen, the punt gun! A shotgun so freaking huge that it looks like it belongs on a battleship. Seriously, it's an 11-foot gun with a 2-inch bore! And it's duck hunting.....for a great many ducks.
And for my fantasy one.
Who can for get the ever awesome and noob owning flak cannon
As a note about the Berreta 92, that series is known to the military as the M-9 and is further known as being a junky piece of garbage, it's also known for having "minor malfunctions" that involve shrapnel. As a semi-famous SEAL cadence goes "You think your a Navy SEAL? Not till you eat some italian steel".
Further I can confirm with Visari, we aren't using any HK made weapons, at least not in the Marines as of two months ago when I turned in my virgin issued to me 7 months ago M-16A4 service rifle. (compliments of the US Government and the nice people at FN)
For my weapon the H&K G11 is still so stupidly ahead of it's time we have yet to catch up to it. Other wise I'm an insane fanboy for the TAR-21, leave it to the Israelis to show the world exactly what a real assault rifle is supposed to do.
for my nonexistant gear I'd like a rail gun like this one but man portable

I dont think the M416 is replacing anything at all at the moment, and at the time of the XM8 testing it most certainly was not the standard assault rifle of the army that he refers to. That would be either the M4 or the M16.TheYellowCellPhone said:No, actually, I think he was refering to the Hechler & Koch 416 (AKA the HK416)Wadders said:

The Portal gun is right up there with duct tape and violence, on the list of universal problem solvers. "It makes portals, what other good use is there?", is like saying "It makes you omnipotent but what other good use is there?". What other use could you possibly need?Ldude893 said:It makes Portals but what other good use is there?Hijax said:
Because with the ASHPD, the impossible, becomes possible.
Although i guess it's not technically a gun.
