The ten manliest firearms

[NavyMexican]

It doesn't get any more manly than the Anzio Ironworks 20mm:

To give you an idea of the size, yes that is a 50bmg round on the right in the first picture, and yes that is a Barrett M82 on the right in the first picture as well. There is an Anzio 20mm here in Austin at Sportsman's Finest, and seeing it in person it is indescribable! Barrett M82's are big as hell and heavy as hell, and the Anzio just completely dwarfs them.

Jesus tapdancing christ, that thing is HUGE!!!! Forget kicking like a mule that thing must hit like a freight train on a down hill grade with a drunk engineer and a bad attitude.

I want one, and I don't even have a reason.

M1 Garand / M1A > AK47 > AR15

Nevermind the M60, Browning M2, etc.

Nothing that shoots a .22 caliber round should ever grace the title Manly.

I agree, that shows us what caliber of men they had making that decision at the Pentagon!

The AR-10 should have been left just the way that God and Eugene Stoner intended, select fire belt/magazine feed .308 caliber.

I don't believe that there is a better rifle than an AR-10.

They are missing the M1 Garand, Lever-action rifles (pick your flavor), and large-caliber revolvers.

Whenever superlatives are used, one must include the Zeliska revolver in .600 Nitro Express (and .458 Win Mag). Having read the article, this would not fit the author's criteria since it is not used by warriors, but shooting a Zeliska would require some guts.
