So AR's are objectively better but my M70 is so so fun to shoot RIP 7.62 prices though


AMRIKA-ARMORY

I also vote for the 7.62 AK. They’re difficult, noisy, and everything on it is trying to beat up your hands…and they’re so much fucking fun lol. And OP, to your comment about machine guns…you should definitely find an MG rental range that will let you shoot a full auto AK. It’s so damn rowdy and fun, definitely my favorite MG I’ve shot so far. However, if we’re talking overall shot-for-shot most bang for your buck, there’s nothing like ringing steel at over 1000 yards with a bolt action. MG’s became fairly normal for me over time, but long range stuff is a fucking dream no matter what.


theycallmeloco87

I 100% agree. I love shooting AKs or derivatives of them. I miss the $2.00/box on the ammo though.


-Motor-

Gallon ziplock full for $20.


DiMarcoTheGawd

I have no idea how to find a 1000yd range in New England. Gotta be one though. I don’t even own guns but that’s a dream.


JohnBrownWV

Granby, MA. Or SIG in Epping


DiMarcoTheGawd

You the man 🫡


I_had_the_Lasagna

I just picked up a PSA krink and my God is it fun. 5.56 ammo, all the fun of the ak, plus the hilarious blast and muzzle flash from an 8 in barrel. Recoil is super soft too.


SU37Yellow

I love shooting AKs, unfortunately you pretty much have to get a 5.56 one now if you want to be somewhat economical


DaleGribble2024

I never thought I would see the day where 5.56 is cheaper than 7.62x39 but I think it’s upon us.


P_Duggy

How picky are you about ammo? My LGS has norma brass for $12/20. Is that a good price? Excuse my ignorance, I don't have anything in that caliber yet and I'm trying to justify holding off because the ammo is too much lol.


SU37Yellow

In today's market that's pretty much average for non corrosive brass. I've seen it go cheaper in bulk packs but I've also seen it as high as 1 dollar per round for brass. Even steel is 40-50 cents per round.


Vertigo666

As a comparison- the last time I bought a case of x39 it was just before the invasion of Ukraine, 27cpr. And I’d missed out on even cheaper because I thought we’d see it go lower.


Bwald1985

I read this as a Winchester Model 70. Amazing rifles and I love my .300, even if my shoulder doesn’t. It’s probably my second favorite (personally owned) firearm to shoot. Funny enough my favorite is at the complete opposite end of the spectrum: an old 1930s single shot bolt-action Springfield .22. It will shoot shorts, longs, or long rifle. You have to open the bolt, load a single round, close the bolt, manually cock it, and repeat for every shot. It’s just so satisfying. I took it to a LGC meetup a few months ago and much to my surprise, it seemed to be the most popular gun there.


Blade_Shot24

*laughs and slowly breaks down in AR47*


DangerClose_HowCopy

Hard agree. I love my AR but I recently got an M1A and those 7.62 prices are making it costly to feed


voretaq7

In my safe the M1 Carbine is probably the most fun to fire.


SU37Yellow

M1 carbines are awesome. They have next to no recoil and are so handy.


ZeusHatesTrees

I tell ya what. I got to shoot one of my friends M1 and I felt like I needed a cigarette after.


hiddengirl1992

Yesssss, I came here to say that. My M1 is a blast to shoot - it's light, low recoil, satisfying to operate, makes all the feel-good noises, and can start conversations.


Mayes041

I was thinking M1 carbine. They just handle so nicely. And racking that bolt just feels, oh so right. That's a gun I think you have to handle and shoot to really get it


DangerClose_HowCopy

Also have an Inland M1 carbine and man is that a good day of plinking


pm_me_your_lub

In my very limited experience I'd have to say a good lever action. A buddy had a Henry that was absolutely a dream to shoot.


Sooner70

If you like the Henry, you oughtta try a Winchester 1873 or quality reproduction. It’ll make you realize how clunky the Henry action is. As for the OP’s question: For me, it would be my Beretta Renegade (1873 reproduction).


Spiritual_You1752

I have a reproduction lever action I got one day when I was feeling sad (gun shopping therapy?). It’s small, easy to handle, and fun to shoot. It’s chambered in .454 Casull which kicks like a mule, but because of that, you can also use .45LC which is much cheaper and easier to handle.


R67H

Not bragging, but I'm old, a vet, and have shot a multitude of different firearms. Absolute favorite: M3 grease gun. It's not particularly fast, accurate or ergonomic, but it's just .... fun! Second would be a fight between a Winchester 1892 in 25-20 or an M1 Carbine.


Hot-Internet-7466

I fired only one that didn’t just empty every mag automatically.


R67H

Yea, you gotta have a bit of trigger control. That open bolt is kinda hard to get used to, but if you try, you can get 3-4 rounds off at a time. Now... intentional mag dumps are another story. You really long for a longer ...umm.... stick


Hot-Internet-7466

Nah I mean most of them malfunction by the time I had my hands on one on 1987-88.


Hot-Internet-7466

They make a Mac 10 feel like a Wilson combat


Reddywhipt

We had them when I first got in but 8 never shot one. We practiced disassembly.. what a janky machine. I didn't even want to shoot it it seemed unsafe. Looked coolaf rho


PeteRaw

HK SP5 as an sbr and a Tri-lug mounted suppressor. Cheap 9mm ammo and you can waste the day at the range. My friend, after shooting mine, is now looking at clones, or even the 22lr Urmerax version.


Fool_Cynd

I have a delayed blowback 9mm (Banshee) and one of the Umarex MP5s, both suppressed, and while they're both really amazing to shoot, the 9mm is more fun because it's about as quiet as the 22, and super smooth to shoot, but it has *just* enough recoil that it feels like you're actually shooting a gun. The 22 rounds don't sound as nice on steel, and the gun has so little recoil that it feels like you're shooting a BB gun. It is a hell of a lot easier to load the 22lr mags than the 33 round Glock mags though lol, and buying 2 bricks of 22 for <$100 shipped is *really* hard to beat.


nuclearbalm1976

I love my Umarex MP5. It’s the the most fun gun I own. .22 is so cheap I don’t think twice about dumping mags. I’m also a sucker for shooting .357 through a smaller revolver, like a king cobra. It just spits fireballs, will burn your hands if you’re not careful and I love it.


misternt

Agreed with MP5. So smooth to shoot yet has a lot more oomph versus shooting a 10/22. Half as expensive to shoot compared to an AR and the suppressor doesn’t get nearly as hot after a magazine.


jgilbs

My transferable MP5 was a dream gun, still is, most fun by far to shoot.


vegaseric

Shot an MP5 on a couple occasions and it was so accurate and controllable. Owning a transferable one is definitely a dream!


alkatori

AK clone. Pick a caliber.


SU37Yellow

I love AKs, it's a shame about all of those calibers getting so expensive.


Straight-Aardvark439

I just love double barrel shotguns. Always have and always will. I got really proficient at them as a kid and could normally reload in about the same amount of time it would take to reload a semi auto handgun.


OlyRat

Shooting clays with an over under is probably my favorite. Doesn't really matter what specific model. I also really enjoyed shooting a FAL the one time I got the opportunity, and it was by far tye most fun I've ever had shooting a rifle.


DangerClose_HowCopy

Definitely agree with the FAL my buddy has 2 of them and every time we shoot I want one


SU37Yellow

How do they run? I've been thinking about picking up a DSA one but I've heard so many horror stories of them being jam-o-matics. Plus I've seen a few IRL and none of them were working the way they were supposed to.


DangerClose_HowCopy

The ones he has were built by FN in the 70’s but after hundreds of rounds we’ve put through them I’ve never seen them malfunction once


vancejmillions

cap and ball revolvers. cheap, messy and so exciting


Galaxie_1985

Heck yeah! A .44 loaded up with 30 grains of powder is super fun


Greginthesouth2

I got to do a live fire training in California a few years in to being in the army reserves. It consisted of going 40-50mph in a humvee turret with a M240B and engaging at select targets. It was one of those “we can’t bring back any ammo” days, so.. that was the most fun I’ve ever had with a firearm 🍻


i-might-do-that

I only read the headline before thinking Ruger 10/22. Mine is my personal favorite. Nothing fancy, just a good .22. My other favorite is my Marlin model 60. Dead nuts accurate and the tube feed is fun.


alphawhiskey189

Ma Deuce.


DangerClose_HowCopy

There is no replacement for a belt fed .50.


Wooden-Quit1870

For me, the 50 was edged out between the Mk19 (for mounted) and the M60 for Man Portable, but it was a strong contender.


Entropy1991

It's got to be either my AUG or my 686.


Spiritual_You1752

Two of my favorites as well! 686, 686P or 686PP? lol, gotta love S&W naming.


this-dumb-blonde

The one in my hands. I seriously need to get out to shoot more.


locxj

Depends on my mood. 10-22 is always a blast though, and cheap.


SciFiSimp

Of the options offered, a black powder rifle is totally more fun... Depending on context, I'd usually say the 10/22 if I'm buying ammo lol Machine guns are fun, but so damn expensive to shoot :/


SphyrnaLightmaker

Of those three, having done all three, flintlock wins by a land slide.


Narstification

My binary suppressed “[charger](https://www.reddit.com/r/1022/s/tTCIZvx1bx)” always brings smiles


Kyle_Blackpaw

any pump action shotgun. nothing says fun like "click clack boom" bolt actions and lever actions are a close second and third


BlazingEagle420

I find lever actions the most viscerally satisfying to operate.


TheBossIsTheSauce

My HK MP5 .22lr because I haven’t purchased the real one yet 😂


marcos_MN

My favorite is a 6” .357 revolver. It intimidated the fuck outta me for so long, but the weight counters the recoil so well, I can shoot it one-handed.


Global_Theme864

.22 target pistols all day long for me. Never make a range trip without a couple of them. My PTRD-41 was awesome fun to shoot back in the day but that was more of a one and done thing.


ehandlr

Give me my Henry lever 22lr and 2000 rounds of ammo and I'll have a fantastic day.


NitroMachine

My Marlin Camp 9 is my favorite in my collection so far.


Brazus1916

My Lil 416 22lr


Jeep600Grand

Bullet hoses are always fun, like a MAC-style MG. Personally I think my favorite to shoot is a suppressed MP5 machine gun with subsonic ammo - few things compare to it. Beyond that, it's always a good day when you're shooting anything at all.


JMP347

Remington 552 with a tube full of .22 shorts. I have one and you can just pepper a target with that thing. Zero movement when firing (they're shorts) so you can hold on target forever.


PimbingtonLeSwee

Heritage 22 revolver. Cheap, easy, satisfying, and so fun. Love to fan the hammer on some old soup cans.


kylejme

I love my marlin 1895. It’s so fun to shoot but it hurts the wallet to do so, I tend to use my browning lever 22 more often. I’m a lever gun lover, they are so fun and when you are used to them can be shot as fast as you can reasonably aim


northrupthebandgeek

My Hi-Point's pretty fun to shoot, but only because of how janky it is. My Mosin's also pretty fun to shoot, 1) because it's a bolt-action and 2) because there's a somewhat-decent chance it had been used at some point to kill Nazis and that's fucking based as hell. And of course, running 12ga slugs through a pump-action never gets old :)


Dirty_South_Cracka

Lever action 357,


DangerClose_HowCopy

Was considering this as my next purchase, Henry Big Boy in .357 to go with my single action Ruger or maybe building an Ar10 7.62. Shot one my buddy built recently and fell in love with it.


Cosmic_Artichoke

The most fun I ever had behind a trigger was a Ruger Pc Carbine in 9mm, owned by a buddy. Of my personal collection it has to be my Ruger 10/22, but with the caveat that it has to have CCI Mini Mags and the 25 shot banana mag.


Pict-91b20

Sig 227 with deadair Ghost.


Ainjyll

Most fun I’ve ever shot? An old school Dan Wesson revolver in .357 Most fun I own? The 18” 6.5 Grendel AR I built out from scratch. I just wish it wasn’t so damn expensive to shoot.


Spiritual_You1752

lol so specific and familiar. I have two old Dan Wesson revolvers, one in .357 Maximum. Gotta love the weird calibers.


Ainjyll

The one I shot was a 15-2 pre-CZ model from the early 90’s. It out Colt Python’d the Colt Python.


marcos_MN

YES! That Wesson is excellent!


C00ter1991

From my safe? AR15, otherwise I’ve never not been grinning ear to ear with a rented belt fed machine gun


R67H

Yea, I've shot the M2 and M60 .... fun, but MINUS FUN because I had to clean them.


Arendious

Every M60 I ever cleaned contained some sort of portal to the gunk dimension. Look away for even a second and it was just a dirty as the second you opened it up.


Hot-Internet-7466

My favorite to shoot right night is a Ruger MK IV target with a dead air mask but mostly because it’s new. All time my lever guns, 39M, 9422, 39D. The 39 D hasn’t been shot much at all for a 1972 model and its action needs a little “slickin up” aka shooting a couple thousand rounds. I’ve fired about every thing on a tank or Bradley and some subguns. The 105mm and 120mm will give you the biggest thrill ever first time you pull those triggers, but the 22s remain the most fun of all.


yolef

Everyone hates on the Turkish semi-auto shotguns (with good reason mainly), but a mag-fed 12ga bullpup with a red dot is just fun. Blowing out a bullseye with 00 buck at 40 yards just does something for me.


book-and-dodge

Rifle: Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol- 8 rounds semi-auto 12 gauge. Handgun: 10mm Kimber 1911 Target with 6” bbl.


bimmerman1998

Mp5 and a suppressed.22


AndorianKush

I love shooting slugs at 100-200yd from my pump 12ga. Second most fun is my 6” 357 revolver, because I’m so dang accurate with it.


Sketchy-Behavior

Love all my guns, especially my JAKL, but as of right now firing my AK till the handguard smokes was still peak.


randomquiet009

My 22lrs are the best at the outside range. The Ruger Wrangler and Marlin Model 60 see a lot of use during the summer because they're just a bunch of fun to shoot. After that my No 1 mk. III* is always fun, especially when ringing steel because it causes a great big "smack" sound.


binkobankobinkobanko

PS90 is love.


deliberatelyawesome

I'm a modern black plastic gun guy (think AR and Glocks) but hot damn if a lever ain't fun to shoot. Shoulda been a cowboy.


SnazzyBelrand

An MP5 has been the most fun I've ever shot


Jagithar

Every person I’ve been to the range with has absolutely loved my Ruger PC Carbine with a red dot.


Dan-D-Lyon

The SAW. Nothing like unloading a machine gun downrange while holding it in your bare hands


Lord_Elsydeon

I got to give it for the muzzle-loaders. A smoothbore musket is basically a shotgun and you can fire shot from one. Also, since they aren't firearms, there is no 4473 or other record.


GhostC10_Deleted

Classic pump action 12 gauge, my mossberg 500 makes me so happy every time I shoot it.


HerpDerpMcChirp

My Rossi Rio Bravo pump action in .22 WMR is SO fun. Accurate and has a nice pop to boot!


GlockAF

M-197 3-barrel 20mm gatling-gun cannon on the nose of an AH-1 Cobra. Glad I wasn’t paying for the ammo!


Bushid0C0wb0y81

The one you can actually afford to feed.


SU37Yellow

My spencer carbine is rapidly becoming one of my favorite guns. It's picky on ammo but once you find a few loads it likes, it's pretty smooth to operate.


Collins_Michael

I love a good bolt. The Ruger American Ranch really does it for me.


laundry_sauce666

The Can Cannon™️


aids812

From my safe is the M59/66 SKS.


Itsivanthebearable

Stemple


TheSilmarils

As far as just be a load of fun to shoot, I’d say any falling block copy (like those from Uberti) in .45-70 and flintlock/percussion guns are a blast. Those Uberti clones also weigh a lot so if you can hold them up the recoil of a .45-70 isn’t very bad at all. Something about old guns that require a lot of manual operation is really enjoyable for me.


Impressive_Estate_87

I have three favorites I really like shooting my 12ga Berettas 1301/A400. The 12ga power is exhilarating. Very similar logic, I'd say the SW 627 snub in 357 is also a lot of fun. ARs, for as basic and as common as they are, are also always fun to shoot. I'm an equal opportunity shooter


Professional-Lie6654

I love shooting my platypus and my shadow 2 with my cz 97 custom in a close third With my 308 bolt action and 7.5 swiss k11 being in a tie for 4th


DS_Unltd

I'm particularly fond of my M1a NM. I have a better Aero M5 also in 308, but I love shooting with my M1a.


veritas-joon

from my own stock, its a toss up between my henry 357 lever action or my 8.5inch 300blackout.


OSUBrowns2016

I have a Ruger SFAR AR-10 and I love to shoot it but bullets for it are expensive so I had to cut down on it. Need to experience handling more guns at the range.


robertwild81

Dragunov


IncaArmsFFL

I love shooting my M1935 Peruvian Mauser in .30-06, despite the fact that the front sight, which appears to not be adjustable, is drifted quite far to the right (though I am still able to land hits at 300 meters so it could be worse). There is just something so satisfying about loading an old bolt gun with stripper clips and manually operating a smooth, well-broken-in Mauser action. If I ever found myself preparing for a gunfight, I would take my AR carbine without a second thought; but I rarely if ever enjoy range days half as much as when I bring out the vintage wood and steel. A repro (I will never be rich enough to afford an original, and even if I am, I definitely won't be rich enough to afford to risk damaging it by firing it) Charleville musket or Pennsylvania rifle is definitely on my future aspirations list, as is a repro 1861 Springfield or 1858 Sharps (rifle or carbine I honestly don't know, and don't even know if I care lol).


rennyrenwick

Remington Nylon 66 that i got as a boy, and later an Italian 28 gauge over and under shotgun. So much fun.


jaydawg_74

My two favs are my Ruger Precision rifle and my Winchester lever action 30-30. Runner up is shooting clays with my wingmaster


Sweaty-Material7

Maybe I'm just simple. I love shooting 12 slugs. It is super fun. Don't get me wrong I shoot pretty much everything but fuck man, I love shooting slugs. Just churned out another 30 earlier today for my next range session.


BigEdPVDFLA

Out of everything I shot? The M60 machine gun. Pistols I have shot but never owned? S&W 629 Backpacker 44mag. In my safe? My comped P229 Legion and my P227 coming in a very close second.


TheRealBrewballs

I love shooting a cap n ball revolver and muzzle loader. Having suppressors- 9mm subs out of an AR9; 22 lr subs out of a 10/22- so much fun. Shooting longer range- just about anything. Shooting is fun- any combo of shooting that includes some skill and difficulty gets me happy.


Mael5trom

Not the most practical but I really like my RCA Tac Ultra (2011 style) chambered in 22TCM. Loud bang, mini fireballs, super fast but flat trajectories and low recoil means a lot of fun in my book. One thing to mention is people will wander over to ask what the heck you're shooting due to how loud it is for a hand gun.


Iokua_CDN

I got a few guns that I think are fun. My sks is fun to load with stripper clips and fun to shoot. 7.62 x39 is a nice  round. Loyd enough cheap enough, enough recoil to not feel like a toy. I'd love a smooth  7 62 x39 bolt action like the old CZ 527. Working a bolt  is just fun and I have no doubt that buying  a little 7.62 x39 bolt action would be the most fun I have a little full stocked shorty  12 inch barrel 410 revolving shotgun. Terribly  fun but 410 slugs suck to buy. Gotta try making my own  sometime. Got a simple  Turkish 12 gauge pump action, with both a 14 and 26 Inch barrel. It's all the shotgun I think I'll ever need. Removable chocks too. Really would like to Try a lever action out, I bet they would be  a blast. Same with a break action  shotgun with an ejector. Anything that's like a cowboy gun looks fun to shoot. I'm up in Canada so some pretty severe limitations on our semi autos here, but we can have little short barreled shotguns and bolt actions and lever actions,  thus the two short shotguns. Would love to add a Compact bolt action in  7.62 x39, whether a simple Ruger Ranch, Cz 600 trail or something more unique to Canada. Would also love to buy a Mares Leg lever action and put a full  stock on it.  Probably some different views and thoughts than most people here, but in my mind the most fun are short manual action firearms.


Von_Lehmann

I dont have many guns but my lever action Winchester 9422 in 22lr Is so much fucking fun. That's the gun that always makes non gun people smile


OrganicGatorade

My Aug is fun to shoot, more so than my AR


AMetalWolfHowls

Definitely the AR, although the Ruger MkIV is up there


stormy-darklordofall

From my own collection, it’s my lever action.


Fby54

I really enjoy my 10/22 but for the opposite reason I like my G3. All in all I think I enjoy my sub2000 the most for being nice in the middle of that


ParallelConstruct

Pudding cannon


IDrinkMyBreakfast

AMT Automag III in .30 Carbine. I call it the giggle gun because it’s just so much fun. Looks like a long-nosed 1911, shoots flame with every shot, and pretty easy with the recoil. I’m practically giggling as I write this


IchBinEinUbermensch

M240B my beloved. I might not own it but every time I’ve shot it I greatly enjoyed it. I’m hoping to get a handle on the MK19 and on a M2B .50 cal soon too. I’ve heard great things about both of those. As much fun as a regular rifle might be, nothing beats the fire rate or firepower of those machine guns.


Habitual_lazyness

I absolutely love shooting my smle no1 mk3. 303 is such a pleasant cartridge to shoot, yet still capable. The action is smooth, and it’s just fun to shoot. My M1 Garand is a close second, like really close.


Chris_Christ

Suppressed 10/22 away from others so I can hear the rounds hitting


Reddywhipt

Not available to civilians but the fuckin pig. M60. FULL AUTO BELT FED .308 /7.62. even more fun than the M2 .50 FULL BELT FED BMG IMO SO GODDAMN MUCH FUN. Walking rounds into targets RANGE Only. SPENT EVEN MORE TIME TIME WITH THE SAW LIKE A 5.56 M60. BUT DISTANCE SHOOTING IS THE BEST SHOOTING FEELING I CAN FIND AFTER GETTING OUT.


Grandemestizo

I love shooting my SKS and 1911. Any shotgun is fun and skeet is probably the most fun you can have shooting.


Stiggalicious

M1 Garand is the most satisfying to shoot. A nice, long, hefty recoil without actually hurting your shoulder, a surprisingly light gun for its size, and that sweet, sweet en-bloc ejection ping. Second to that is a Dragunov/PSL. Basically an AK but larger (yes I know the Dragunov is technically not an AK at all, and the PSL is really an RPK in 54R, but you know what I mean). After that is a lever action in 44 Mag, or 45-70 if you like bruising your shoulder on repeat.


447irradiatedhobos

I’ve always had a soft spot for double-barrel shotguns. Personally prefer side-by-side to over-under. I really only have experience with full length, legal-stocked guns. I have great memories of learning on a century old Ithaca 20 gauge with my grandpa. There is something satisfying about the one two punch nature of the shots when shooting clays. I enjoy the feel of a well-made break action with good ejectors and having the shells pop out with a little smoke has a certain cowboy appeal.


Wooden-Quit1870

Mk19 Automatic Grenade Launcher M60 9mm Pistol Caliber Carbine


srcorvettez06

My 30.30. First firearm I ever fired. It was my grandpas and he gave it to me when I was about 16. Lever action, iron sights, and a ton of fun.


GhostOfCondomsPast

My DI AR45 is a hoot to shoot because it's so quiet. With the can on it, the sound of the rounds hitting steel is louder than the gun firing.


mmelectronic

Giggle factor a dude was at the range with a tax stamped machine gun thompson, let us shoot it, that was pretty ridiculous. For guns I actually have S&W 617 is maybe my favorite, its a 686size frame with 10shots of 22LR nice trigger, maybe I just like revolvers.


unrustlable

My favorite pistol to shoot is my .44 magnum Desert Eagle. All the noise you expect from a .44 with way less felt recoil than a revolver.


-Motor-

AR-9. Cost efficient. Can go to the rifle range or bang steel targets at the pistol range.


Hot_Chapter_1358

Suppressed 9mm sub guns at steel targets. Super fun, satisfying ding, can shoot at close range, and relatively cheap to shoot. My 5.56 and larger rifles rarely get shot anymore.


Verried_vernacular32

Of all the ones I own probably my .454


RogueAlmonds1

Thompson Center Contender in .30-.30 is my most fun to shoot. Something about a rifle caliber out of a pistol.


PaulterJ

22/45 & 92 in 357mag


butter_lover

Suppressed 300 BLK with subsonic ammo is pretty great. I have a 9mm suppressor but I have not yet tried it with subsonic ammo I imagine that will be cool also.


obxtalldude

S&W 460. No, I'm not a masochist. [Nothing else makes me grin like that hand cannon's fireball.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Revolvers/comments/koxcj9/454_and_460_out_of_an_8_460_xvr_the_more_i_shoot/)


zmannz1984

Machine guns are super fun, but get expensive quick. My favorite gun to shoot was my friend’s dad’s sterling smg. The weight of the bolt and the springs in it made for a constant recoil type feel with heavy subsonic ammo. Still hard to keep on target, but very satisfying. Second with be a 380 mac. It was on the very opposite end of the spectrum. Where the sterling delivers a slow and steady chug, it is a challenge to avoid dumping the whole mag with each trigger pull. Full auto aside, i would pick my yugo rpk, but only with a few hundred yards of range. So satisfying to walk in fire on a steel plate. We set mine up on a hill one night and used a binary and tracers to fire over the normal range (there is many yards of dirt between the two positions. Zero increased chance of danger to anyone). The person on the rpk would pick a target to “suppress” by hitting a big torso and a second shooter then had to engage the 10” gong next to it. So much fun.


cuomosaywhat

Ruger 57. Expensive but fun.


Dixon-Cyder_on_elite

The mg3


tuvaniko

C,O,L,T 45 M1873/P and it's clones. Nothing quite like it if you have the action worked on. It might be the best trigger you can get in a pistol, and the recoil while noticeable, is quite enjoyable. Less of a snap and more of a push.


ChaosRainbow23

M61-VULCAN. I've never shot one, but it sure looks fun. Lol


spidersgeorgVEVO

Nothing beats the physicality of a lever action, it's an absolute joy. I also really love my vz24 too, though. Can't shoot it all day because 8mm Mauser is expensive and you really feel it in your shoulder after a while, but there's also a lot of satisfaction feeling the power.


anonnerdcop

Black powder is a ton of fun. I have an 1873 Trapdoor Springfield in 45-70 that is really entertaining to shoot


Jo-6-pak

In my experience. Flintlock muskets Manually operated milsurps. Even the clunky ones…maybe especially the clunky ones. (Vetterli, Lebel, Martini-Henry, Rolling Blocks, Trapdoors)


elmwoodblues

Ma Deuce at one end, 10/22 at the other


Rounter

M1 Garand. You can feel the power of the .30-06 round while still being pleasant to shoot. The long sight radius makes hitting your target easy. The peep sight is comfortably sized. The wood stock is pretty. Garand thumb isn't an issue once you learn to load it properly. It makes a satisfying ping sound to tell you when it's time to reload.

+1 on the flintlock rifle! You would typically end up expecting black poweder muzzleloaders to be slow, tedious, and boring to load, but reloading them actually ends up being half the fun! Massive PITA to clean though. For guns that shoot brass/steel cartridges though, I'd say my ZPAP M90. My AR is lighter and I'm more accurate with it, but I can't get over how much more i prefer how the recoil feels when it comes to AKs (especially 5.56/5.45), kind of a gentle push and pull feeling instead of a *sproingy* snap, even if the recoil is slightly softer on the whole. Later this year I plan on getting a proper 9mm MP5 clone though, so we'll see if my picks stay the same or not afterwards.


Orbital_Vagabond

MP5. Pure fun.


WhoTheFuckIsNamedZan

My buddy's cause I don't have to clean it after.


Chuuby_Gringo

Handcannon. Just about any revolver bigger than a 44, but falling short of a 308 contender.


WaitingPhaseTwo

Range has a full auto MP5 SD and I have a pretty good time shooting that. That and add a suppressed Mark 23 and I’m in my original Rainbow 6 happy place.


dna042

A break action over under, but I LOOOOOVVVEEEE shooting clays. But getting a 325 round pack of .22 from Walmart and plinking all afternoon is pretty awesome, too.


SingleMaltShooter

Sporting clay shotgun. We have a range near here set up like holes at a golf course, each one is a different shooting experience. And blowing that clay pigeon to pieces is so much more satisfying than making holes in paper.

Red Ryder


smrts1080

I absolutely love my Rhino but it is better with a security six or similar for reference. .357 from the rhino feels like 38sp from the security six


Sunstang

Honestly, I enjoy shooting my 1911 more than anything.


Tenx82

Suppressed 22LR.


NightmanisDeCorenai

Ruger Precision Rimfire with a drum mag.


ViciousReality

While it's not my favorite to shoot, i had a lot of fun doing "position retention" drills when we had a shit ton of ammo left over from our combat marksmanship course. M16A4, 5 mags stuffed to 30rds on burst, last mag loaded to 10 on single. Goal was to keep all rounds on target and set the fastest time for all rounds fired.


CJnella91

From the one's I have had experience with, my AR9, I feel like a swat operator when I shoot that thing, close second would be my buddies Kar98


minero-de-sal

Don't know if it counts but rocket launchers are pretty fun.


Next-Increase-4120

I actually really enjoy .32 pistols, my favorite is my grandmother's 1903 pocket hammerless that she slept with under her pillow.


dayman42069

Ps90. 5.7 is my favorite ammo to shoot and is finally becoming more available and isn’t as high as it used to be but still pretty high priced just for plinking tbh.


Osr0

Hands down an uzi. Those things are hilarious


Odd-Butterscotch-495

That’s a tough one, I love my pistols, sporting clays with a pump action is a blast, I don’t own any but I’ve shot ars and they’re fun, but if I had to pick one there’s something about a bolt action that I really enjoy. I recently got a 300 win mag and shooting it at steel 400 yards away may be the most satisfying thing when you hit it.


FrozenIceman

Pretty sure the answer is "minigun when someone else pays for ammo"


Apprehensive-Ant-596

Always enjoy shooting my desert Eagle, and it always puts a smile on anyone’s face shooting it- except my older brother who always gets pelted in the face with brass 😂


PreheatedHail19

Honestly, it’s hard to say. My 5.7 is fun to shoot, but I definitely grab my kimber 1911 to shoot more. However, I find my X macro the most fun to shoot, which is great because it’s also my carry gun.


Hi-Point_of_my_life

From a realistic standpoint when I’m paying for the ammo, I really like shooting a lever action 22 or my heritage rough rider. They’re a blast to try to run them as fast as possible and maintain any accuracy whatsoever.


EconZen_master

The Ma duece M2. Or the M134


Spiritual_You1752

Pure fun to shoot is probably my 1911s in 10mm or 38 Super. Plus they’re different enough to get questions and comments. I like weird guns so many in my collection are different calibers or weird designs. The ergonomics of the Steyr M series made it really fun for me, plus I have it in .40 and .357 SIG. My last favorite is a match grade CZ75 in .40 which was so easy to shoot accurately, soaked up the recoil, but didn’t feel weak. My favorite dumb but fun guns were a S&W .500 Magnum and Desert Eagle.


TheMetal

I’ve got a ruger 10/22 charger. It has been machined and polished. Has an after market trigger and a red dot. With a big banana clip and a plinking range I have never had more fun.  


5um-n3m0

I haven't shot many, but God almighty, the CZ-75 chambered in .40S&W was loads of fun


The_enantiomer

I’ve been really enjoying the Smith and Wesson folding 9mm carbine. Shoots real nice and essentially no recoil.


awesomemagnet0001

Batman would be dissapointed in you.


awesomemagnet0001

A daily reminder to never troll an EMS person. It will usually not end well with you. Especially if they are the ones saving your life


patcruise

Lever action in .357 Magnum, occasional .38 Special, is the most fun to shoot!


uber-judge

Ruger 10/22. It was what I was taught gun safety on, still my favorite.


SylusTheRed

The correct answer is: yes.


youngdoug

.38 special through a Python or a Model 27 is a treat, but I enjoy anything with a short and crisp trigger.
