Barrett M468. It is unstoppable.

You're missing the best one of them all, 7.5x55 Swiss.

I voted M1 Carbine, but isn't the M1A the same gun? And you forgot the M14.

I saw a program on Military weapons on the outdoor channel. It seems that many think the AK-47 is one of the most reliable and rugged military rifles ever made. At least for Auto and Semi-auto. I don't think I agree with their choice.

The M1A is the semi-auto counterpart to the M14, which is superior IMHO. It takes all of the great features of the M1 and corrects some of the "problems" by add a detachable high-cap magazine andselect-fire capability. TheM1comes in a close second.

M1 Carbine and M1A are not the same. The M1A is the civilian version of the M14, both chambered in .308. I think the only difference is that the M1A doesn't have selective fire. The M1 Carbine is chambered for the puny .30 Carbine. It's a neat little rifle. I've got one, as well as an M1A. I certainly wouldn't vote for the carbine as the best military weapon of all time.

I did not like any of the choices, so I would say that a US soldier is the best military weapon of all times with the M2 .50 coming in a close second.
