For just all around fun shooting I still vote #5, especially if I have to carry it very far but when I start trying to hit the black at 600 yards it's hard to beat a #4 with a PH-5C. The best part is the looks you get from the guys with the space guns.

Pretty hard to see that red laser dot at 600 yards.

Dern, you didn't list mine so I had to vote "other".

Mk I Bren Gun! Luv shooting that one. Of my many FAs that is in the top 3. The others are an FN/FAL select fire and an MP 43. Probably a dead heat between the 3 of them.

I picked the No4. The only reason is because I'm 66 years young and can still shoot a rifle with a peep sight. Otherwise I would have picked all the above. :D Regards, Rick.
