    Or were you just trying to be clever?
    Do I have to answer? Well the dictionary defines a "firearm" as "A weapon, especially a pistol or rifle, capable of firing a projectile and using an explosive charge as a propellant." So a rocket could be considered an explosive charge used as a propellant, right?

    I wouldn't call it explosive, since it doesn't go BANG! I'd call it fast-burning. And the projectile itself is the missle. So really a missle is not a firearm. Although technically the modern cartridge doesn't use explosives, it's just that the powder burns REALLY fast.

    My favorite handgun? Hmmm. Good question.

    I'd need a gun thats small enough for my hands and with a lack of recoil cuz i seem to lack upper body strength. lol. But...I never listen to my better judgement. hehe.

    Yes thats right, I'm a huge magnum fan. I don't actually own any guns cuz my parents would never allow it. But my favorite would have to be the B.F.R Revolver. I mean sure it's a hunting revolver, but it's shiny...and kind of ugly. But hey, it can be made to fire .500 winchester rifle cartriges. Need I even say, wow NEAT!?? Not sure what'd I'd use it for. Maybe i'd use it to shoot down 747's. hehe.

    Not a very feminine gun I suppose.

    My favorite Shotgun was a Franchi SPAS-12 (still illegal in California) It fired in semiauto or pump mode. It had a folding stock, held 8 rounds, and was loads of fun to fire. But I hated cleaning that sucker more than any other gun I have owned.

    Favorite rifle: Probably my current AR style weapon. 16" Bull barrel, ergo grip, flat top reciever, custom trigger and hammer group with 3# pull, muzzle break, Bill Wilson tactical targeting system. Leupold Varex II 1 X 4 power scope with 18 - 30 round mags..... Need to go to Vegas and pick up a 90 round drum..... I have to admit, my M1A was awfully close!!!!!

    Favorite hunting pistol: Ruger Mk II Government Target Model, 6 7/8" bull barrel, target sights, lighter trigger (albeit heavier than most of my other guns because I have modified the triggers). Very accurate, barrel barely moves when shooting. Makes it easy to rack up a bunch of ground squirrels.

    Favorite self defense pistol: Colt Model of 1911 with all the bells and whistles. I am rather fond of my modified 92F as well.

    Assuming I haven't already answered this one and could therefore, contradict myself, and that I'll limit it only to those which I have actually fired or been in close proxmity to .............

    well, even though I love the M-14, these days, it is a major toss up between the -14 and the AR10.

    Despite it's short comings about lack of concealability, I am very partial to my USP. It is the gun that when I don't have a rifle, can't have a rifle, I know that I need no other. It is only its bulk that directs me to look in other markets.

    And while it is not a gun per ce ............ Stingers are rather nice.

    If I had to pick one firearm to bring to a gun fight, I'd grab a Davy Crockett. You can't miss with that.

    yea i saw that one but i think he shoot himself in a head with a beretta. or at least that what it looked like. i once had a egyptian made ak that would give me stow pipe after every shot, if i hadn't seen it myself i'd never belive anyone who said that. brough it right back to the store the same day.some of them are real cr..p. but some are very good.

    Those Israeli Tavor rifles look nice. Also the FS2000, I can't wait until I get my hands on one of those, all the reviews I've been reading say its nothing short of orgazmic (well not really, but u know ).

    Out of what I've shot so far an M-4 is what I'd pick.

    Same here, buddy. I have never shot so well, and although I think I'm a GOOD shot, I don't think I'm world-class. But this thang was SO precise, I bet with the right training, I could get outrageous scores with it.

    LOVED IT. (Have I already mentioned that? )
