Bucket List Guns: Six Firearms You Need to Shoot Before You Die

Fun thread. I'm missing only the Tommy Gun and AK.

Of course the article is completely subjective. YOMV.

Yes, the M1 Grand is my favorite! I would love to own one of these! Great post!

Decent list but for a true bucket list I think it would have to include a 50 of some kind and an M134 minigun.

Agreed. M2. I know for some on this forum they covered that one before they were old enough to legally buy alcohol, but I am a civi.

Srill haven't fired a Tommy Gun but the rest I have, if I shoot a Tommygun will I die?

 

[Thor]

Those are all reasonably accessible to most folks who really want to shoot them. How about a 4 Bore or .577 Tyrannosaur?

Yes...You will have a massive gungasm and shudder to the ground with your "oh" face frozen in time...

Just kidding...I was 15 when I shot a stick through one and I was able to get off of the ground in a half hour or so and the "oh" face only lasted for a week or so...

Correct...Until one fires a .50 Flintlock Long Rifle they have no idea of what joy there can be...

 

[6mm Shoot]

I have never been concerned about shooting a AK. I would like to pull the trigger on a 50 BMG.

The list they gave is sort of dull compared to the guns that are out to shoot. One of the bull pups I would think should have made the list.

Also a machine gun should have made the list. Well then they did have the tommy. I would think that one of the more, shall we say higher rates of fire guns would have been more fun.

A top of the line long range pistol should have been on the list. They are fun and really puts a grin on a persons face when they hit steel with one. The 44 is fun, but not a true long range pistol. Like say a TC in 7mm or a custom XP100.

My thought of a bucket list is stuff that is a one time chance to do. Yes the stuff I listed is shot all the time, but the stuff they listed is even more common.

Shoot what you like and have fun. I would think we all have different bucket lists.

Psssst, and the AK47.

 

[Alpo]

Got them all except the AK. I'd add 50 Cal M2, 7.62 M60, M40 recoilless rifle, and M79 grenade launcher.

My favorite: M79

 

[Dosproduction]

yeah deff want some way heavy artillery. I would like to shoot a hell fire lol.

 

[Thor]

Hellfire, Maverick, TOW, Dragon, 105, 120...all cool stuff but something you hold in your hands or put to your shoulder and shoot (specially if it's not buffered in any way) makes you know you're alive.

I would add a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range. After all, I wanna live a long time!

A 4 bore would be cool. As well as a Tommy Gun, a M2, M1919, a Sharps and a German Luger.

Have done and own 1, 3, 4 and a variant of 6 (i.e. AR-15).

I know someone who owns a Tommy, but I don't think he has any plans to ever shoot it so I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[Thor]

No plans of shooting it? WTFO?

Do these people just buy things so others can't have them?

He didn't buy it. He's a retired USMC general and it was given to him by the Corps. It's some kind of commemorative issue, only a limited number were made, lots of engraving and gold inlay, but fully functional. It's in a presentation case. If it were mine I would probably fire a few rounds through it, but not my call.
