The Australian Defense Force has been using the AUG since 1989. So we can be sure at lease a few people have been shot with it. In reference to your Styer Aug comment on your show..

Where's the AK-47? Changed the face of warfare, though it wasn't the first assault rifle... The only rifle that currently graces certain flags.. Bah. Too US-centric. Where’s the AK-47?

I think it's tough to do a top 5 list because it's hard to limit it to only 5. The Garand is a no-brainer, given how important it was in WWII, and also in its influence of the M14 and Ruger Mini-14. I think the Brown Bess is a unexpected but very good call, since it was so influential in the British Empire, which pretty much shaped the world at that time. I think for that specific reason if I were to add a sixth gun, it would probably be the Lee-Enfield. It’s a good list. I think it’s tough to do a top 5 list because it’s hard to limit it to only 5.
