[GhostRyder] Gun Names

[jimboylan]

JAP was criticised by a soldier who said it was "queer" to call the sniper's rifle "Bert".

 

I'm not a gun expert, so I'll put the questions to all of you:

Do you give your weapons, espescially the bigger ones, male or female names?

(Do straight guys name them differently?)

[ethan thorn]

There have been people that have named there guns just like people name there cars. I dont know if the size of the gun matters i would say its up to the owner what they feel they should name it or if they should name it.

I imagine heteros would name their guns like they do their boats. That is, after women, so to name one after a man might be gay in their eyes.

Watch the beginning of "Full Metal Jacket" sometime...

Anyone who names their guns has a screw loose (I was a gunner's mate in the navy. I had names for all the guns in the armory).

 

 

As for the name, heteros usually give them a feminine name, but not always.

 

Big guns, like 5" gun mounts and larger, almost always get names.

 

 

Oh, and yes, I named all my guns after men.

 

 

I just told people that since they were going to be used to kill Russkies, I'd follow the Russian tradition and give them male names (Russians refer to their ships as 'he' while the rest of the world usually uses 'she' - She was a good ship, etc.)

 

I got a few weird looks for that, but no one considered it too odd.

[reapersharvest]

that's basically what I meant to say.

Dear Dan;

 

Just out of curiosity, what kind of a GM were you? A "G," an "M" or a "T?"

My dick has a name now keep in mind I didn't give it that name and now I'm not giving it out but a man looks at his gun like his dick he wouldn't sell it and you couldn't pry it from his cold dead fingers and if something that important can be named why not a gun.

 

 

I don't nessisarly think I would turn my dick into a sawd off.

[jimboylan]

My dick has a name

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There is the old joke about the gay who called his penis "Richard" becasue he thought it was too big and important to be given an informal nickname.

 

I wonder what the Gunners Mates in this Group think of the Brittish 2-part "screw guns" described in R. Kippling's "Jungle Book"?

[ethan thorn]

OMG patrick

I hope that perforated mask in your profile isn't because you kissed your sword "George"!

[JamesSavik]

I'm gonna get a gun and I'm gonna hug it and squeeze it and call it Brian!
