Life is short. Not all of us get to go out action-movie style, guns blazing as rock music screams in the background. Since you probably won\u2019t have a Mad Max-style dramatic exit filled with glorious explosions and weapon fire, it\u2019s up to you to make sure you get in all of your gun excitement before the grim reaper comes a\u2019knockin.<\/p>\n

So, you\u2019d better get started on your guns bucket list. Let me\u00a0help you get things going\u00a0with 6 guns that you just have to fire before you kick that bucket:<\/p>\n

1. M1 Garand<\/h2>\n

Dubbed<\/a> by General George S. Patton as \u201cthe most deadly rifle in the world,\u201d few guns have as much history as the legendary M1 Garand. Not only do these rifles have a hallowed place in military firearm history, they are also growing in popularity across the United States through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (Read the GunsAmerica series on Garands from the Government<\/a>). Firing off a few rounds with this precision rifle will help you understand what life was like for soldiers during World War 2 and the Korean War.<\/p>\n
