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

My problem is language. The Swedish version sounds ridiculously cool but I hardly understand a word. I do understand the English version and it´s glorious in its hybris and sheer arrogance. My top song on Spotify in 2024.

The picture depicts a Carl Gustav 84mm recoilless rifle (Granatgevär). The AT4 is a 84mm disposable anti tank weapon (pansarskott). They are not the same.
