If you only had one weapon...

[Desert Fox]

If you were thrust into the thick of battle and you were stuck in a muddy foxhole with bullets whizzing overhead, but you could only have one weapon, what would it be

 

[ndicki]

An atom bomb

 

[ndicki]

I'm an infantryman - a shovel!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Um lets see I would take the M-4 Carbine. I dont think it is the greatest weapon but I would take it only because I am very very familiar with it and I am an expert shot with it.

 

[FLYBOYJ]

A .45....

 

[Gnomey]

A radio to call in the air support and then an assault rifle - M16 or similar or a sub-machice gun - G36...

 

[RE2005]

Ak 47 and a couple of handgranades should be enough...

As an old Unarmed Combat Instructor explained to us.

If they use their fists, get a knife.

If they use a knife, shoot them with a pistol.

If they have a pistol, get a rifle.

If they have a rifle, get artillery.

ALWAYS hit with a bigger weapon first, and don't stop until they don't move.

You guys are all foolish - Mk 19 baby!

 

[ndicki]

A Harrier might be fun...

 

[johnbr]

An A10.

 

[ndicki]

One of those comms gadgets they have in Star Trek, so I can ask Mr Scott to beam me up, just in the nick of time, and then attack with the Enterprise's phasers.

 

[Soren]

I wonder if Desert Fox meant in WWII ?? If so, then the StG.44 100% !

If not, I'd probably still like to have an assault rifle, preferably from Switzerland or Germany. (The SIG-550 perhaps)


PS: I've never heard of a Harrier or A10 getting stuck in the mud

 

[Desert Fox]

Maybe we can limit it to firearms, so no Harriers or Atom Bombs,
I'd say an MG42 with a hell of a lot of ammo!

 

[ndicki]

I was expecting someone to say that. Spoilsport!

 

[Desert Fox]

Ok then , I'd have a Thompson Sub Machine Gun. Nice.

Ya know I'll take back my first response...

A sawed off Mossberg...
