Quoted:
I would take any gun I own at random. I dont see the point in owning a gun that dont shoot. Hell thats like a dog that dont hunt. If I get a firearm with problems, I wont keep it. And the guns I do own I keep in good order so I'd trust my life to any of them.

Thats not to say I wouldnt choose one over others, but nonetheless, any gun I own I would not hesitate to trust my life to.

The one I like the best. Model 65 .357

My SKS.

My gunsmith buddy insists that I have a curse. Weapons failure is probably what's gonna get me killed. Over the course of the last few years I have managed to jam or have major problems with following weapons (either my own or borrowed):

Bushmaster AR15
Armalite AR10
Colt Combat Commander
WASR-10 (yup, I can even make a Kalashnikov FTF)
IMI Baby Eagle

So much for "not buying junk guns", that damned little Chinese $99 special just keeps on ticking.

Beleive it or not....my Beretta Chetah 84 in .380 has never malfunctioned...this after all I heard was that .380s jam all the time...prolly have about 400-500 through it....

But I would take the G19 in a pinch. Jammed once or twice in the first few hundred...after that....at least a thousand more...not a single issue....well it Kaboomed on me once...but I sprayed CLP on it and it runs good as new.

I'd like to say my LE6920 or my SLR-105a1R, but I don't have many rnds through them. I'd have to say my HK-91. Never had one single malfunction and my only gripe is its a PITA to clean the trunnion area.

you gotta differentiate between manual loader vs. automatic loader. I dont see how a bolt action could have any real problems compared to a self loader. anywho, my autoloader would have to be the AK and the glock. they can swallow and eject anything you feed them including dented and tarnished crap.

For me, it's my early 80's HK91 and HK93. I have had both of them for about 23 years. I've fired thousands of rounds of all kinds of crap ammo through both of them and never had ONE SINGLE malfunction EVER. The 30 ft ejection of empty cases is very reassuring as well.

Take apart an HK 91/93 and you will certainly marvel at the uber quality and extreme robustness of each component inside the gun. If the HK 91/93 had a last shot bolt hold-open device, I would say it would be damn near a perfect weapon. In addition to all this, they are the most accurate BY FAR of the "black guns" that I own (comparing to FN FAL, IMI Galil, Colt AR's, Hungarian AK's, etc,) . The HK 91/93 gives most bolt guns a run for their money in the accuracy dept.

For me it would be my Sig 239, and then my Bushmaster AR with good ammo such as xm193.

Rifle: ARSENAL SA-M7 AK-47 clone. Without a doubt.

Pistol: SA XD-.357 Sig. or Walther P-99.

Shotgun: Mossy M590A

I LOVE my match AR...but that beast is a tricked out 20" Colt HBAR with the usual junk hanging off of it, like bipod and ACOG. It is a blast at the range, but not my first choice. It has failed on occasion. The AK? Never...shit, its an AK!

They're all reliable and accurate, or they wouldn't be here. That does not mean they are SUITABLE.

I have a 7mm/12 gauge drilling that's great to shoot but I certainly wouldn't bet my life on it.

Posted: 1/6/2006 11:00:13 AM EDT

I would bet my life on: my ultralite entry AR, my P7M8 and my Glock 19.

That is, if I hadn't lost them all in that boating accident...
