I saw that and appreciate your answer, but not everyone answered with a reason as to why they loved a particular gun. So when I mention AK's it was more of me just wondering if that was the reason all the AK fanatics like them as an example.

What I'm really curious about is the reasoning behind peoples choices. Call it my curiosity into the human thought process. Thanks to everyone for their responses!

Why do people prefer BMW's over lambo's or vice versa, blonds over brunettes? apples over oranges?

How do you explain what attracts you, what really appeals to you especially when it comes to looks.

Why do you prefer a certain gun over another? Because it looks better? But why do you think it looks better? Because it feels better? But why do you think it feels better? Because it is more comfortable? But why do you think it is more comfortable.

You can't explain really explain it.

G36c or k for AEGs

L96 for snipers

M92F chrome for pistols

I saw someone post saying that we should include why we like said guns. (warning, lots of bias here). btw, all links are SFW (unless guns aren't ok, but most of the pics are from Wiki).

Pistols:
H&K USP .45 Fullsize

Why, its fucking innovative. the recoil reduction system, the saftey/decocker (not like the glock BS with no official saftey). the SA/DA mode. its a great gun overall with amazing reliability and accuracy. plus, its german.

Bolt Action Rifles:
Mauser M03 Extreme Match Variant

Why? Not only is it German, but with a name like Mauser it rivals that of H&K in terms of accuracy, reliability and ruggedness. This is the Mauser response to tactical sniper rifles. I want to get one in .300 WM. how can you claim to be a bias German gun-whore and NOT own a mauser?

Semi-Auto:
M14

Throw on a JAE-100 stock and look out. Still, i love the classic look as seen here with the ACOG. i might do that setup myself and save the JAE stock for a remington 700 SA series (in 7.62 of course).

Assault Rifle:
H&K 416

I love this gun cause its the H&K response to the M4. aside from the supreme accuracy, and reliability, it is just a better gun compared to the M4. Plus its german and comes with an RIS. id magpul the shit outta it though.

WWII:
G43 which is tied with Kar98k

Why? Do i really even have to say why? I should hope not.

Like... MINE?! Just started to "magpul the shit outta it" :P

im liking it. what brand is it? needs a MOE grip as well. personally, im a DE fan myself, but that is only cause i use MC. keep up the good work though. looks like its going to turn out great.

It's a new gen JG.

I actually like the original 416 grip a lot better than the Magpul. I don't think I am going to do much more externally to it though... Maybe a trigger guard, some rail covers, and a silencer for an extended inner barrel? But that's about it.

JAE M14 is my favorite for me , just love how the gun shoots. Other than that my sig 226r .

Well, the KP-05 isn't overcomplicated in it's design. But it doesn't lose any intimidation for this, which is why I like that gun.

I don't exactly know why I like the G36c, I guess just because it's not an M4, or MP5 variant, though I don't mind mp5s G36cs just look cool to me.

And I've always been a fan of shotguns because of their power, but for design; specifically spas-12 and the M3 shorty because of the simplicity.
