In the hope someone else on these forums knows clive...
Anyway, my vote goes to AK47. Utterly brilliant, nice powerful calibre, simple, and even a child can use it (ok maybe thats not a good thing in some countries
). Makes a great distinct noise too, looks pretty cool too.r1ch said:

The bang-stick SLR:
Bloody heavy thing to carry around all day (or night) especially in conjunction with 4 x 20 round mags in your webbing. Hilariously over-powered for the job we were doing, but still got a soft spot for them.Ayahuasca said:

So rubbish, they only gave them to the dog-handlers.Ayahuasca said:

The one on the left is the original "wogstopper" - 577/450 as used in the Martini-Henry. The one next to it is the normal 303.
That would make a rather large hole - both sides. Are such non-FMJ rounds illegal these days - would it be classed as a squash head or "Dum Dum" round?Lead is still used in cap and ball pistols. Also lead bullets are used in normal rifles on short or restricted ranges. They are called "squib-loads", (or tarts' loads).
The AR-15 Armalite
One of the only guns to have a song written about it:
And it's down along the Falls Road that's where I long to be
Lying in the dark with the Provo company
A comrade on me left aye another one on me right
And a clip of ammunition for me little Armalite!
I was stopped by a soldier he said "you are a swine"
He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin
I begged and I pleaded oh my manners were polite
but all the time I'm thinking of me little Armalite!
Chorus:
And it's down in the Bogside that's were I long to be
Lying in the dark with the Provo company
A comrade on me left and another one on me right
And a clip of ammunition for me little Armalite!
Well this brave RUC man came marching up our street
600 British soldiers he had lined up at his feet,
Come out ya cowardly Fenians come on out and fight
he cried I'm only joking, when he heard the Armalite!
Chorus:
And its down in Bellaghy that's where i long to be
lying in the dark with the provo company
a comrade on me left and another one on me right
and a clip of ammunition for me little Armalite!
Well the army came to visit me 'twas in the early hours
With saracens and saladins and ferret armoured cars,
They thought they had me cornered but I gave them all a fright
With the armourpiercing bullets of me little Armalite
