Sig Sauer 9mm handgun
various makes of compound bows
various makes of long bows
various makes of recurve bows
various makes of black powder rifles
British .303 military rifle
Smith & Wesson .30-06

and the piece-de-resistance

the Royal Ordinance L7 M68 105 mm cannon from the M1A1 Abrams (friends father pulled a lot of strings to get us on the tank range for that one)
I almost forgot my swords.

But, I can claim one thing that most here probably cannot. I've been shot twice and and stabbed once. Talk about wrong place at the wrong time. The two shootings were hunting accidents (one low power, extremely long distance shot to the wrist from a 30-30, and a high arm graze from an unknown caliber). The stabbing was an attempted mugging gone awry and the mugger ran into me while chasing his intended victim, effectively plunging the cheap boot knife three inches into my left butt cheek...go ahead, laugh, I do too.

I own a .22 rifle and an old Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge. I've fired a semi-auto AK-47, Yugoslavian copy of a Kar 98k, a .45 handgun, and a few hunting rifles.

When I'm working full time and have the money, I want a Karabiner 98k and Kar 98b rifle and Lee Enfield mk. III or mk. III* as well as a black powder Lee Metford. I like old guns.

My cousin has a claymore and some other sword, and also a katana that was his grandfather's.

I've swung them all around for fun.

My friend has gotten to shoot a 9mm pistol, 6mm pistol, and a 12-gauge shotgun.

He would have gotten to fire an M4 and an AK-47 but the range wasn't finished yet.

Still, it's more than I've ever done with a gun.

Guns, yep. Crossbows, yep. Bow, both compound and whatever the other kind is, yep. Melee weapons, yep. I'm downright barbaric I guess. When I was a kid I used to even make swords and axes.

...I've also substituted a 'cello spike as a (fairly effective) weapon ...
If Jason Bourne can make a magazine into a deadly weapon, then I can believe in the combative properties of a cello.
Not the 'cello (waaaay too expensive to swing around!!)... just the metal spike that'd fallen out of the case on my way outta school. Luckily.
Never underestimate the power of classical music...

Yeah, I google'd it ... I was thinking "I know what a cello is, but wtf is a cello SPIKE?!"

Several rifles (bolt-action, lever, semi-auto), an over-under shotgun, and two six-shooters.

I've swung an axe too if that counts.

Uh, let's see -- the guns I shoot regularly are the Colt Python (which is My Gun and I love it to pieces), my dad's bitty 9mm (which I hate, because no matter what I end up getting a shell down my shirt), the scoped .30-06, the .22, and the M1A. We've got a bunch of other firearms kicking around, but those are the main ones.

I've also shot bows and crossbows, and I've screwed around with throwing knives before. They're stupidly hard to use, though, so I never put in any serious effort.

I own a bastard sword, I've fired more guns than I can recall, including a .50 Cal Barret, I've practiced many times with a bow, swung a Dai-Katana, and own seven knives, three of them throwing knives.

So there will be those of you who own a gun yourselves so just say what kind of gun, but how many have swung a sword or mace (not necessarily at someone) or whatever or fired an arrow at ye ol' target?
I myself used to play with a Spanish dagger (none was harmed and secretly) and fire arrows with a bow bought for me(again none harm).
I don't own a gun myself. No real reason to.

My dad had an air rifle (I think that's what we call a BB gun, not sure) and when I was growing up, we used to drive out to the bush and shoot cans with it. Once I tried to shoot birds but I was crap, animal-rights activists will be happy to know I didn't hit a single one.

More recently I visited a relative's farm and we went rabbit shooting with a .410 gauge shotgun. I didn't even get to fire the thing because by the time I got the thing up to firing position the rabbits had seen me and fled. Boy I suck, or maybe rabbits are just leet. However, I did do some target shooting with a bolt-action .22 rifle after (I think he felt sorry for me) and that was fun, it made me want to play Red Orchestra a lot when I got home. Trying to shoot targets in high-wind on a farm made that game look easy. Well, okay, easier.

I also used to train Ninjitsu and there we got to play with swords, nunchucks, etc. I also have a wide variety of kitchen knives. Carrots quake in fear when I approach.

I own a Kris dagger, a straight sword, a claymore, and an axe. I also used to have a bow&arrow, but I was never really good with it... that was years ago and I was too weak to draw it. I used to have an airsoft gun, but it broke. I was pretty damn good with it, though.
