Favorite firearms

M16A4-Alongside the M16A2, the standard Marine Corps infantry rifle, can't go wrong with it.

HK416- Basically an M4A1, but more reliable. The weapon I would want in a combat zone.

Beretta M9- Accurate 9mm pistol with a 15 round magazine and very easy to field strip.

Colt M1911- A reliable hangun to go with a hard hitting round. Another one of John Browning's fantastic designs.

M1921 Thompson- A cool looking gun with a hard hitting round. If the Winchester 73 was "The Gun That Won The West" this was "The Gun That Won The Gangsters."

M1 Garand- As quoted by General George S Patton, it was "The greatest battle implement ever devised." 8 rounds of 30-06 in a semi-auto rifle. Watch out for the PING.

Remington M40- In my humble opinion, The best sniper system ever made. Wielded by legends like Carlos Hathcock and Chuck Mawhinney.

Barrett M107- A great rifle for long distance. Able to stop almost anything on the modern battlefield with 10 rounds of semi-auto .50 caliber fire.

Springfield 1903- A rugged rifle for World War 1 and a good sniper weapon in World War 2. Perfect weapon for the "devil dogs"

M14- A great infantry weapon and an even better sniper rifle. 20 rounds of semi-auto fire, plus Chuck Mawhinney got 16 headshots with this rifle and a starlight night scope in less than 30 seconds.

Favorite USMC Quotes

"From the time I touched that Remington 700, I was in love with it, I wanted to be a sniper. I'm gonna hunt something thats gonna hunt me back, Oh I love that."- Chuck Mawhinney- Most Confirmed kills in Marine Corps history, 103 with 216 probables.

"The sun glared off his lense of the scope I guess. I saw the glint, I shot it where the glint was... By looks of things, I was just the quickest on the trigger otherwise he would've killed me. How do I know he would've killed me? I shot right through his scope, right straight through his scope, didn't touch the sides and it didn't do his eyesight no good on that side either."- Carlos Hathcock- USMC scout sniper with 93 confired killed.

"The first guy I saw him pop up, slung the crosshairs over him, flipped the weapon onto kill, sent the round downrange... that hit its mark. It was just a pink mist."- Steve Reichert- USMC scout sniper, 1-mile killshot with Barret M82A3.

"We're surrounded... that simplifies the problem."- Lewis "Chesty" Puller- Most decorated Marine is its history.

"Marines die, that's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever. And that means YOU live forever."- R. Lee Ermey using his own choice of words in Full Metal Jacket, 1987
