10 most manly guns ever?

This was a hard piece to write, because guns by definition are manly, except for Berettas, gold-plated TEC9s, .25 caliber pistols or anything made by the French.  To simplify things, I have limited it to modern cartridge firearms a man might, can, and should collect and shoot.  There are certainly other manly weapons, and you may have a different list. As long as the list contains nothing French, gold-plated, .25 or with pearl grips (which Patton correctly observed are the mark of a New Orleans pimp), it is a good list.

I laughed

Thats probably the reason, but if a minigun isn't a manly gun, I don't know what is.

oh wait... yes I do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwerer_Gustav

10 is such a small list...

Anybody else see HK represented in any fashion on there? That's what I thought!

Weird/stupid question. If it uses the rounds from an Apache's main gun, why not just call in the Apache...?

They should have had a pistol and rifle class. No mention of the S&W .500 or CheyTac .408. And no M1 Garand or the M1919 Thompson.

^ no I'm pretty sure that the second one I posted has the M1 grand on the list. And the author even said this is just his list, if you don't like it go make your own.

That would be because the Apache fires a 30mm round not 25mm. It is however the same round the M2 series Bradley fires except it is a larger casing.

He seems to be missing the Stg.44 and (my favorite gun) the mighty MG42

The M230 Chain Gun is 30mm, Nate.  There is a 25mm gun of the same design, but the rounds used differ from those of the Barrett gun above.  Like the difference between the ammo for the proposed OICW and the gun from an F-16.  Same diameter projectile, but different case.

So, to answer your question, Apaches aren't always available.   :P
