You guys are forgetting stuff like the Martini Henry Rifle, used by the British Empire and was used by the British regualrs during the Zulu War. Rorke's Drift shows its devestating effect, although I do admitt the British had their arse handed to them at Ilsandlwana. I'd have the .303 on the list, used by the British and colonial nations in WWI. The Moisant Nagant is perhaps one of the most durable rifles ever, it can survive the Russian winter, 98K firing pins would snap off in the cold. Drop or beat the moisant and it still works. F88 Steyr, a leopard tank drove over one of these guns continually stopping and reversing over it, on the 15th time it cracked, a little. Owen SMG and the Russian SMG(during WWII), both these guns would never jam. You could treat these guns like shit and they still work. I would not put MG42 down, it sucked in desert and winter conditions. M1 Garand was a good rifle as at the time it surpassed all other on the battlefield. AK47&74 obviously, so incredibly reliable. FG MGs, i forget the actual name of these guns but they have been called the best MGs ever made.
