I'll 2nd the HK-91, awesome power and accuracy.

Also I think someone already said, M203. I didn't get to shoot anything through the grenade launcher... too bad. But it was nice just to know it was there!

Probably the most fun (or memorable) gun I've ever shot though was this crazy antique muzzle loader rifle. I had to load the powder, place the cap, and put the bullet down the barrel. Bullet was this crazy ribbed hunk of lead the size of a large corkscrew... I only got to shoot it 3 times, but it felt like a cannon going off in my hands. The noise was unbelievable.
 
Another vote for the Mk19.

Although I didn't remember it having all that much of a recoil. (on the ground/tripod fwiw)
 
God, that's tough.

Rifle would be either an MP5 or this table mounted 50 Cal. (I think it was) I shot at this automatic rifle range once. So much power in that thing. You could feel the shock wave just standing within 10 feet of the damn thing. Honorable mention goes to a full auto Thompson that had been converted to .22. Only bad thing about that gun was the trigger was just stupid heavy.

Handgun would be either a Glock 40 or a Luger. Both really fun guns to shoot.
 
TOW missle...3750M range

the MK19 is fun and the M2 "Ma deuce" .50 cal is wicked accurate.

I loved my M14 and M16 match rifles though sub 1/2 MOA and shooting the M14 at a thousand yards is sweet..and scary

Still never had the chance to fire a M2, although rumor is that on next deployment my company will be getting rid of MK-19's and M249's and picking up M2's and M240's
 
..having spent lots of time on a working ranch..I ended up carrying my .22mag stainless steel Smith & Wesson revolver 6" bbl.six shot. First 2 rounds are snake shot..the rest are .22mag CCI hollow points. Have taken lots of small game..rabbits for the dogs and other larger game. .22mag is a great flat shooting round and want to get a stainless lever action rifle chambered in it. There are nice bolt action rifles as well. I still carry the 22mag stainless in the woods and on the ranch to this day...

I bought a Ruger 22/45 (.22LR) when I was in Texas, and that is awesome to plink with. It has a nice, heavy barrel and is decently accurate. I hate the Ruger clips for their .22 pistols, but that thing is great to fire off a few hundred rounds.
 
Out of all the guns I have shot, the most "fun" was probably the Desert Eagle .50. Fun not because I shot well with it, but because it scared the crap outta me, my brother, my dad, and the 6 other people at the range when it went off.
 
Rifle- My grandfathers 45-70, an old lever action cavalry rifle, my god thats a huge b!tch.
Pistol- The little Ruger Mark II with the tappered barrel, its just fun and cheap to shoot.
