Do you name your guns?

[handyman]

yep! But just like cars, they have to be womens names!

 

[JB357Mag]

Yes I name all my guns, Bob.

Had a M44 Nagant named Vile. The muzzle blast and the recoil were vile. Three young mexican kids wanted to shoot it one day on the range. The last kid thought he'd be smart and held it about 3" from his shoulder before he fired. He got hammered.

Bang for the single actions and Bang Bang for the semi-autos.

Just dug up this old thread. I've been thinking about this for more of a practical reason. If my gun has a name, the family can have a code word that means 'gun'. So if I name it Matthew, we can say stuff like "I think I'm going to take Matthew to the mall" or "go get Matthew".

Yep, thats a good way to mess with peoples heads too. I do it for fun if the person visiting is new and I'm unsure of their postion.

A few of mine have names...for when I'm discussing them in front of others (who don't really need to know anything about me at all...much less that I have/own a gun)...or for when I'm texting or talking on my cell phone!

"Six men came to kill me one time, and the best of them carried this. It's a Callahan Full-bore Auto-lock. Customized trigger, double cartridge, thorough gauge. This is my very favorite gun... I call it 'Vera'."— Jayne Cobb, Firefly.

I have a frame scratched G-22 (GLOCK) I call "SCAR", and a AK-74 I call "SOOTCH-KA", thats it all the rest are identified by brand name.

 

[bakeman]

Not normally, but i have a couple that ive named.

my 1938 remington 511 scoremaster .22 is named ol trusty. it seems like no matter what im doing, i always grab my old remington. I have nicer newer .22's, but i just trust it. i know that no matter what, i will hit what i aim at with it.

my long mosin nagant is named the crusty russian, and it looks the part. im a little rough on it

my short mosin nagant is called the boom stick. i call it that for obvious reasons to anyone who has one. its very loud and likes to bark fire when you shoot it.

 

[shanksinator]

I don't, but my wife does. She names her cars too, which I find just as strange.

 

[Sratch16]

No.

 

[NyleRN]

Not at all, firearms are tools. I don't name my tools in my tool chest either

 

[aaron580]

glocky, smithy, chesty (winchester), remmy, bushy, commie (AK), etc...

 

[bos-94-003]

Nope but I never named cars or anything else either.

 

[Bunnykid68]

Killy, shooty, maimy, disfigury..........

 

[cl4p-tp]

No...just no.

naming guns is just plain weird

 

[zfjohnson1989]

Nope, can't say I do.

 

[m4lover]

Sometimes, if it's just a little plinker then no, but if it's one that i have worked on i most likely will. i stopped naming them girls names because of how awkward it could get when i would meet a girl with that name.
