    I was the NCOIC of a hand grenade range once and there was a dud in the first firing order. That was a pain in the ass.

    M203s are cool too. It takes some training to get the aiming down.

    If it was possible to keep guns just from people who intend to commit murder or suicide.

    My favorite is to fly around in my little gyro-copter and lob grenades at the enemy down below. Fun stuff! I also play The Last Of Us which has a great array of weapons that will make short work of zombies in no time.
    That is great! I mostly play Runescape.

    Also people who serve in US Military are mature enough to handle real ammunition.

    Sadly guns get into hands of drug addicts who use them to kill self or others.

    Suicide is also a great sin.

    M-14, 45 cal pistol, 22 long rifle. Last weapon I picked up was back in 1972 when I turned in my M-14 to the armory for the last time.

    They were still issuing M-14s in 1972?

    I believe by then regular army issued M-16's; for AROTC Units the M-14's were issued to us.

    I thought the M203 was quite easy to figure out. At least with a quadrant sight.


    It took me a long time to learn how to fire an M60 effectively off of the tripod. People think shooting a machine gun is easy. Just an issue if point and spray. Not so.


    The M67 90 mm recoilless rifle was the coolest weapon I was assigned. It was heavy and a $#@! to carry, but it was fun to fire. I couldn't handle firing too many rounds, because there was a substantial concussion with each round.


    My all time favorite rifle though was the German G3. I'd like to find one to buy.
