What is the most powerful (real) weapon you have ever fired?

[Stefu]

Probably a small mortar if you can call being part of the team "firing", when it comes to personal firing Finnish Army's ol' RK-62 (aka AK-47 copy).

[Thue]

A LMG M/62, hand grenates and the Danish standard rifle.

I once fired my keyboard.... and bought a new one!

At least 4 different ones too. Hah!
In fact, I own a bow. Haven't touched it in years though.

[Straybow]

I guess it would be the 30-06. Also a 7mm magnum, about the same muzzle energy. There's some place in Texas you can go and shoot all kinds of heavy weapons for $$. Have to try that some day.

[Alexander's Horse]

I've fired a shoulder launched anti tank missile

Yeah...that M/62 is a mean machine gun. It's actually a modified version of the machine gun that the Nazis used in WW2.

Did you know that at the rate it fires, when one round is being ignited in the chamber, one is in the middle of the barrel, and one is just leaving the muzzle.

Hard to say. I've fired an old Lee Enfield 303, an FN C1 and a 19th century muzzle-loading Enfield rifle. The Lee-Enfield had a hell of a kick, but nothing compare to the Enfield.

One thing though, after firing the L-E, I had a lot more respect for the grunts who had to fight with that weapon.

I call bullcrap. I'm not counting weapons my ship carried like you are.

Only weapons I personally fired.

If you are an officer you haven't fired any of them. If you are an FC you don't fire guns and missiles.


ACK!

[TCO]

TLAM-C. But you really don't get that much excitement from a tube luanch. It is just all about having your **** together on all the presets and on the tub mechanics.

[Traianvs]

I played with toys firing puny plastic bullets when I was little
Guns are weak though; a good pilum or a shiny spatha would do it for me
