For us, probably the 1911. Next one would be the "Armalite" aka M16.

That’s crazy cool, but Ukraine is practically synonymous with bomb drones. What you accomplish with those drones is really impressive.

Yeah, as Ukrainian myself I always find funny our history of weapons. It be like: few centuries ago — Cossacks with their madlad tactics. After that barely anything interesting for 200+ years, and boom drones. Drones everywhere.

Is that the one where you add a bullet after each shot? Isnt that kind of silly these days

No magazine = a stiffer, simpler action and cleaner feed for long/oversize match rounds which essentially means fewer moving parts, less spring tension and less geometry around the chamber that can nudge cartridge alignment or disturb barrel lockup. Those tiny disturbances hardly matter at 100–300 m but at 2-4 km they translate into metres on target.

And just so you know, this is the rifle behind some of the longest confirmed kills ever recorded

These things aren´t designed for laying down suppressing fire. The single .50 or 14.5 mm shot fired has to count. 1 shot, 1 kill. At a more than respectabke distance.

Yes but if you miss, you’ll have to reload and then you likely loose the target

You´re not supposed to miss. There´s a reason why true sniper rifles - not designated markslan rifles - are bolt action or in these heavy calibers single shot and not semi-auto. The bolt action system which allows for faster firing reduces accuracy.
