Do you fancy that .50 cal S&W slugger? Have a look at this game's weapon arsenal, listed below. I wouldn't be surprised to see the .50 S&W in an updated version of this game.
Disclaimer: This is meant as a pure recommendation; the game is 100% freeware; no registration, no spyware. Nada. It's truly a product of a skilled enthusiast.
As far as I know it's the best rated freeware PC game available. If you know of a similar or other great freeware game, please discuss and share.
Apparently some fellow members are into guns; kind of seems you have a mini-forum for it in the Lounge. Do you like a casual game as well? I though you might enjoy checking out a freeware game called 'Soldat 1.5b'.
The game's creator Michal Marcinkowski is Polish, and 'Soldat' is Polish for 'Soldier'.
Requirements are modest: Win98; 400MHz; 32Mb. Mouse and keyboard.
Graphics are below standards, but visual effects are sweet; smooth animations and neither lack of blod & gore nor option to disable. The real treats of the game are the straightforward fun gameplay, and the sounds of the real world weapons, which to me seem authentic. The latter is the most specific reason I think even a very casual gamer will like this game, if he/she is into guns.

Selectable weapons:
1. Desert Eagles
Akimbo weapon! An automatic hand-gun that can break a man's arm. That's why it doesn't fire so frequently but the bullets can easily pierce thick armor.
2. HK MP5
The most popular submachine-gun in the world. Fast and furious. In short ranges it can defeat heavy weapons.
3. AK-74
Modified version of Automat-Kalasznikov from 1947. Weapon of terrorists and most of world's army forces. The best rifle in the past 50 years.
4. Steyr AUG
This weapon looks like a toy but it sure isn't. With great speed it spits out bullets killing everything in a fast attack.
5. Spas-12
This Shotgun makes a massacre with its 12-Gauge bullets. The best weapon for close-contact.
6. Ruger-77
A hunting rifle. Very fast and accurate. Good for hunting deers and people.
7. M79
The famous grenade-launcher from the Vietnam War. Viet-Cong quickly ran to the bushes when they heard its characteristic sound. The 40mm grenade can blast anyone into pieces even after a shot behind a hill.
8. Barret M82A1
This sniper weapon has incredible power. It was designed to pierce tank armor. The Army didn't even plan to use it against people. But who cares?
Sniper mode available if you crouch or go prone.
9. M249 (FN Minimi)
The best machinegun with great firepower. Can be very helpful for backing-up your team.
10. XM214 Minigun
The famous "O'll Painless" from the movie Predator. This chaingun is mounted on army helicopters. It uses a tremendous amount of ammo and can potentially kill the same amount of enemies.
