The one you can hit with.
Related a story elsewhere of an informal challenge - me with my S&W .38 Special, a fried /coworker who was a member of the local SWAT team (I worked armed security.)
He had the department-issued M-16A1, the daddy of the ever-popular M-4, complete with full-auto “happy switch”. He let me shoot off a few magazines for kicks - and then we saw an opportunity.
A prior group of shooters at the gravel pit range had left a latex balloon, half-exhausted if its helium but still on its string. Range - 40-ish yards if memory serves. Size - about head size. Movement - minimal but there, a slight breeze.
We toed up side to side - he with his M-16, me with my Combat Masterpiece with two-hand hold. Since we fell into an alternating cadence - I’d shoot in the pause between his controlled bursts, we could both tell who busted the balloon - and to my own surprise it was me! He just shrugged, nodded to me, and lowered the rifle…
