"Actually, a man knows he WOULD be found dead with a 9mm, because a 9mm is a .45 set on stun, and real men do not believe in stun."

He's got some good one liners in there... ".45 set on stun" is one of them.

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.

A glock makes the list, but the gun that won WW2 does not?

OUT****INGRAGEOUS!

The people who made this list are obviously girly men and will be referred to from here on by their womanly names.

Sally, Sue and Debby.

Not to mention it listing the Ar-15 as a manly rifle, even though it's plastic and breaks in any true man's hands.

This list is defunct. Any man heretofor that refers to it in any argument will adopt the name Stephanie until a vote of 90% of all men alive clear him of that name.

.40S&W is a wussified 10mm that the FBI created when it found out its agents weren't manly enough for 10mm,

some funny stuff there

I prefer a XD over a Glock any day. There is no mention of M1 Garand.

Laser, please tell us your experience with the M-16?

Switzerland has not been invaded in 800 years, because every man and most of the women are issued guns which they keep at home. Imagine a government that not only allows but INSISTS its citizens keep military grade weapons. That's points right there. Even more, they hold quarterly Schuetzenfests, at which shooting, carousing and drinking are expected. And it's entirely possible you will have your *** handed to you by a 13 year old girl shooting a select-fire StG90 assault rifle that she carried to the range from school, slung across her back while pedaling her bicycle. Swiss GIRLS are better men than most allegedly-male American liberals.

Switzerland has not been invaded in 800 years, because thats where the tyrants hid their loot, that would be like stealing your own piggy bank.

"tenmaliest" Thats not even a word.

Even if they said "Ten Maliest", "maliest" is not a word either.

After reading that I feel good about myself. I am the benchmark of manliness

Yep.

Well I own 4 out of 10.

1911A1 .45
AR-15/M-4 Bushmaster
Remington 870 12 gage
AK-47

Actualy I suppose I own 5 out of 10 because I do own a 44 Magnum but it's a Ruger Blackhawk single six and not a Smith. Yeah I'll claim that one as well as a manly gun since it fits in a nice "3 finger" western holster and makes a nice carry gun when out in the woods.

I was suprised that the Remington model 700 wasn't on the list. I have one of those in 30-06. Considering that weapon is the basis of the M-24 Sniper rifle it should be on the list.
