It\u2019s the sort of question that reliably sets my heart aflutter. Were you fighting in World War 2 and had access to any weapon in anyone\u2019s inventory, what would you choose? That\u2019s the kind of imponderable that will keep a gun geek like me blissfully occupied for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve never kicked in doors for real, nor have I ever responded to a live ambush, been subject to a murderous artillery barrage, or had to cross a danger area under fire.
