What's the LOUDEST gun you own?

[longshooter]

I would have to say my ported Winchester 444 Marlin....

 

[Rabÿros]

glock 23

Nothing I own currently besides my incoming 7mm-08 could be considered "loud" - but a shooting buddy has a .375 H&H and with the muzzle brake open, it'll scare people out of bed a quarter mile away. Even with double ears it's painful.

Dan Wesson .44 mag w/ 8" barrel

 

[Cat-Herder]

91/30 or my .308, they're about equal.

 

[shibumiseeker]

My LAR Grizzly Big Boar and my Bohica, both in .50bmg.

Biiig baddda boom!

8" Mortar. and yes that is 8" diameter. I used to shoot fireworks shows. That sucker would suck up debris from the ground with it when it went up and make you feel like you got punched in the stomach. I know it's not "technically" a gun but I couldn't resist. In the old days we would load shells into the mortars immediately after it had been fired to prepare for the next firing sequence. A true come to Jesus moment is experienced when a shell ignites from debris in the mortar and either propels into the air or "flower pots" out of your hand. Flower potting is when the shell actually bursts in the mortar and all of the " pretty ooohhhs and aaahhhh's" go up in your face. I was taught early on to keep all body parts away from the muzzle of the mortar!

I thought the loudest gun I had was my 300 win mag....unitl I fired my 308 win out of my bathroom window.

 

[Lanser]

Mosin

 

[dieselman]

mosin-nagant 91/30

 

[dak109]

Taurus 617 total Titanium ported. Short barrell and ported= loud

 

[GLV]

The one that went BANG!!! when I expected it to go click

 

[m82mike]

My Barret 82A1

 

[41mag]

I don't know if it's the loudest but my .50BMG bullpup is an eye opener if you have never fired one , the concussive affect of burning 210-250 grains of powder will set off car alarms at 80 yards at least till those owners finally get tired of resetting and disable it.

 

[stoyan79]

Mosin carbine in 7.62x54r and M95 Mannlicher carbine in 8x56r.

 

[Fordtough25]

My AR15 for sure. In my experience the loudest rounds I have shot or been around are the .223 and .357 Mag. They will flat hurt my head if I don't wear ear plugs!

 

[Titanium Man]

Anything I shoot when I forget to put my plugs in.

Marlin Guide Gun, 45-70 with short ported barrel, especially with hot hand loads. Bites at both ends. Hard to get good Crono readings as the muzzle blast shakes the crono and after about 10 rounds, your shoulder is ready for an ice pack. But, the thing is still a blast to shoot.

 

[dr632]

Ruger 44 Mag has a distinct advantage here ... although the Mini-14 is close.

m44 mosin hell any mosin is insanely loud.
though my 9mm in my kitchen made me deaf in both ears for about 3min and the left one rang for a good 2hrs followed by 3 days of a really bad headach. Stupid single load shotshells by cci and raccoons. oh yeah and they spread a good 5ft at 10ft from the barrel if your wondering. yeah nuff said.
