For me it would have to be a P38 Pistol, I loved mine before 1996 ban.

.44 Automag Pistol. Why? Well, why not, and as Dirty Harry says "if properly used, it can remove the fingerprints".

for me a Swiss P06/29 in 7.65 Parabellum, or failing that (and more likely due to being a tight-wad) a P210 in either 9x19 or 7.65 para (need to get working on the paperwork )
for a rifle? my K31 can do most of what I need/enjoy as far as target use is concerned, with the added bonus of being very Deer capable (as long as my eyes hold up )

An MP5 or possibly the SD version.
It scratches the full auto itch, I can use it on ranges that can only take pistol calibres or can try it out at 100 or more yards. There's plenty of accessories around for it for me to experiment with.
I think I would have a great deal of fun with it.

I suppose if it were absolutely ANY gun then I would have to go with a real deal select-fire MP5.
Otherwise, I'm very into handguns these days and a CZ 75 Shadow 2 would be at the top of my list. Seen a few in NI a couple of times but haven't fired one yet, I know I'd love it though. I even bought an airsoft replica of the SP01 for messing around on my property to try and scratch the itch a little...

I think if I could have one gun... Something H&K would probably be my bet... Of all the full-auto rifles I've ever shot, H&K seem to have it nailed. Most of the rifles I've shot have felt like they're on rails - the G36, MP-5, UMP-45 even the Scar-H in .308 were all very smooth shooting firearms. I think I'd probably go for one of these. Maybe the Scar-H. Reach out far, shoot full auto if you want/need to, ammunition is plentiful - the only fly in the ointment is the odd magazines.
Failing that, I'd go MP5. Smoothest of the lot, pistol calibre for shooting on more ranges, and a whole heap of fun...
Then again, I've always wanted to own a 1911... Too hard to choose.

Played with a semi-auto one with Polenar Tactical in Slovenia half gun-half flamethrower!
May have been hasty in selection as now steering to an SVT 40 now.
