The List:
- Hand Cannon (13th Century)
- Gatling Gun (1862)
- Colt Peacemaker (1873)
- Maxim Gun (1883)
- Colt M1911 (1911)
- M2 Browning (1933)
- M1 Garand (1936)
- Uzi (1948)
- AK-47 (1949)
- Glock 17 (1982) – “A simplified handgun made mainly from plastic, except for the barrel” “It will not fire unless the trigger is pulled and all safeties are off” <– can be summed up simply as “DERP” *facepalm*
- XM-25 (2010)
You can check out the full article to read their blurbs on each gun over at Popular Mechanics.
I almost had a heart attack that our very own M-16 or M4 didn’t make the list. Besides that, as far as I’m concerned, most of those have merit except for the XM-25. Last time I checked that wasn’t even widely in use so I’d hardly call that an important gun in “history”… if you’re going to put that on the list you might as well add the AA-12 shotgun. Fail for not having the Deagle brand Deagle, Glock 7, and the Hi-Point C-9 on the list. hahaha Yea I trolled the shit out of you with the post pic. *hi-5s self*
If Popular Mechanics was smart they would have convinced Elisha Cuthbert to sign a life contract when she was just the Popular Mechanics for kids girl. What’s not to like about her? I hear she was on 24, but I never got into that. I get my fix now by watching her on Happy Endings… the show is seriously funny. PMK 4 LIFE tatted on my forearm.
Thoughts? If you don’t think Elisha Cuthbert is good looking I really should revoke your ability to read this blog.
