PO1 William “Chip“ Nagel—same platforms I was trained on, with the addition of the M16 and Beretta M9. Still have a Mossberg 590SP, 1911, and Beretta 92FS in my personal arsenal (with a few others).

I have four of the five he listed, but I don't really like his approach -- "you should have this gun because it sets you up for a bunch of other guns." You could just as easily pick one of those other guns on that basis. Historical & military significance are good criteria, but that still doesn't address the question of why you should own them. Ammo availability is a better reason IMO. The best reasons for owning guns are suitability for intended purpose, and the best available match of quality and value.

Own all but AK and M98. Have owned a M98 and other Mausers. Currently have bolt guns based on Mausers. No Ak ever owned but familiar with that platform.
