As long as we're talking about weapons from video games, I'm not going for anything less advanced than a Laser Rifle, though I'm torn between that and the Gauss Rifle. I guess I just have a thing for lightweight, super high-speed accuracy.
In real life I have a soft spot for Walther's G22. So far, it's the only bullpup rifle design for 22LR (admittedly, for good reasons) and regardless of its actual usefulness, it feeds my fantasies about modern urban guerrilla actions ala Red Dawn or the Vampire Earth series. Plus it looks just different and interesting enough to be cool without being too sci-fi (like the Beretta U22 Neos).
I should also note that in the Sci-Fi/Noir short story I'm currently writing, my main character usually carries a sub-compact "Roscoe Arms" h-laser pistol. It's really more of a mazer, but by having them designate it a "heat laser," I get them to call it a "heater" (remember, I'm writing in Noir here). It's tiny, and it's only got a 5-shot magazine, but it's really only for covert work past security checkpoints, where it's likely to be more powerful than anything anyone else has. I'm sure that on his ship he's got something more like a shotgun, and under his pillow is something more like a Desert Eagle.

AUG has been my favorite since the 64, always will be.ethan22122 said:
Beyond that pistols have always held my interest, especially the DEagle. I just think they're the perfect weapons, good at short, medium, and a decently long range. Of course this is all game experience, I've never fired a gun in my life (But I want to...Seems like something everyone should experience once).

The aftermarket I believe. I'm not sure how you managed two boxes. Watching my dad shoot it in .454, even me shooting it in .45, is just insane. With earplugs and muffs together it's still loud.
The 1911 .45 APC pistol. because it has a big round ( when 9mm dosent get the message through) and that its been through pretty much all warefare in the 20th-21st century, the only draw back is bigger round = smaller clip capacity but that means you just got to bring more clips. I know how to strip it down put it back together and I bough a +2 magazine and thats pretty awesome. you would have a good chance winning a fight with it.
We're doing all our shooting at an outdoor range, which really helps with the reports. Especially since there are a TON of trees out there, so the trees really help absorbing what would otherwise be an ear-shattering experience. If you DO fire the .454, do it standing from a weaver stance, not the straight on you usually see with target shooters. And hold on TIGHT. I wasn't kidding when I described it as a car accident, the gun kicks like CRAZY, so just hold on like crazy, lean into it, and expect your arms to go over your head. =pSn1P3r M98 said:
The 5.56 round is a .22 caliber. The 7.62 is about .30 caliber (about because I am not 100%). A .50 cal round is roughly 12.6mm. Close to double the size of the 7.62. It is a lot heavier and has a harder impact. The SCAR-H has more range than the Beowulf, but 200 yards is more than enough range (since at that range without a good scope, most enemies are smaller thant your iron sights). It is a lot more effective in urban combat since it can go through more barriers like concrete walls and what not without issue. But it has less shots per clip and can't go full-auto, which means you have to pick your shots.park92 said:
I prefer having to pick your shots over spray-and-pray, which is why I like the M1 Garand over modern weapons.

As for everyone that says they've never really shot a gun, go to the nearest range and rent a couple! If you're in America, we live in one of the few countries that recognize the right to do so. Take advantage of it and experience something new. It's really fun too.
