About This Quiz

Guns have become one of the most popular and storied gadgets in the world. When they first appeared on the scene, they were hunting weapons for the very wealthy and a replacement for the crossbow, which was banned by the Catholic Church and many nations. As the technology of the gun progressed, it found its place on the battlefield, and as the technology of war became increasingly advanced, the firearm became more powerful and more specialized.

Today, firearms come in every flavor. There are still a few collectors of black powder firearms, which don't always get the same legal treatment as modern firearms. Some gun owners prefer long guns, and of those, many prefer semi-automatic rifles in the mold of the Ar-15, while others hew to the bolt action rifle, often with a floating barrel. Some gun owners prefer handguns, and of them, there are the old school owners, and the ones who want whatever is cutting edge in both design and materials.

With this quiz, we can take a peek into your mind and reverse engineer your preferences for firearms, and from that determine your firearm of choice. Take a shot at this quiz and see if we hit the bull's eye!
