What is the most powerful gun you own?

Yep...and you just won.

I grew up in So. Oregon near the Lower Klamath Nat'l Wildlife Refuge...millions of birds fly through every year. 10 gauges were common for goose hunting, but I never shot one. Kids now don't believe me that they even exist!

 

My heavily modified .308 Savage Axis bolt rifle

 

In terms of firepower without drums and not counting my 12 gauge I'd have to say the Mosin.

As far as total firepower I'd have to say the AK47 with a 75 round Romanian drum. There's a lot power there if you count the whole drum.

As for my handguns it'd probably be one of my .357's. Maybe the .40 S&W depending on the loads available I guess. Not really sure about the power difference there, they're both pretty good rounds IMO.

 

Hands down, my Ruger American 30-06 with 150 gr SP at 2900 fps, more energy than a 1 oz slug at 1550 fps. It is also more accurate. But there is that 3/4 inch hole that a 12 ga. slug makes.

 

The most 'powerful' gun I own is the one that makes babies...... :rofl:

The most 'destructive' is most likely my 20ga 870 Wingmaster..... or possibly the model 70 30-06 springfield.

 

Depends on your definition of power. Energy at the muzzle will go to a 12ga every time. Mosins and other full power cartridge rifles will claim the title if you're talking about effectiveness over long ranges. Even still one could argue capacity and rate of fire could be a measurement of power, in which case ARs and other semi-auto rifles would take it.

Having all 3 is nice though.

 

Remmington sportsman 48 12 gauge ;¬)

 

If we are talking capacity, my KelTec SU16 can carry on it 30 + 10 + 10 on the weopon of 5.56 / .223.
If we are talking muzzle velocity and energy, my 8mm Mauser hands down. Next would be my 30.06. I sold the 12ga.

 

Crap! I almost forgot the RIA .22TCM. That holds 18 + 1 of nothing but Fun Fun Fun!!!

 

Ok well lets rank what I have:

Mossberg 500A 12 GA
Mosin
One of my AK Variants or SKS
300 AAC
AR15

Now if I had the cash I could just get a 50 bmg and trump everyone!! For at least 1 shot

 

I love my 24/7. Had to send it in for the recall, but its all good now (I guess). The 4095 like all the other carbines are just plain fun to shoot.

My SKS I just picked up a few months ago. The prices keep getting higher and higher on these and the quality/grade is getting lower and lower... Get one while you still can if you can get a decent price on it, its worth it.

Where would a 50cal muzzle loader fit into the mix?

 

Savage Model 110 in .30-06 caliber topped with a Leopold scope.

Above "Wrist Rocket" but below "Longbow".

 

The only really powerful gun I have is an M-48 8 mm Mauser. I don't know how it stacks up against the 30-06, but it will blow a hole clean through a locust fence post.

 

It's about the same as the as a 30-06, maybe more in real European loads, less in the neutered US loads.
