nlacy 692 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 no names yet. I think you gotta slay a dragon or kill a few zombies with it before it's worthy of naming. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 If I do stuff like that, it would mostly be to make fun of a friend who names his guns, or whatever. That is the only reason I named my motorcycle and gave it a facebook page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guns Are Great 140 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 no names yet. I think you gotta slay a dragon or kill a few zombies with it before it's worthy of naming. Yeah its got to save your ass atleast once to earn a name. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I can't name inanimate objects because I wouldn't remember what I named it tomorrow. I never forget a face, but names I'm awful with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheDriver 23 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Um, no. Then again, I'm not Jayne Cobb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Lemon 157 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) They all already have names, and unique personalities, too. Mosin, Tokarev, Simonov, Makarov, Kalashnikov, ,etc. Although I call my Saigas just that, not Kalashs. Saiga sounds more like a females name, too, which is good because sometimes I feel like I treat them as such. Basically what Arik said, the names are given at the factory.

DrThunder88 912 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I too am a bit mystified by the desire to name guns. There will be a thread with a title like "Meet Krablanka" or something, and I'll think, "Oh, this person must have a new dog or cat or very unlucky child." Then I'll see it's about a gun that he's named, and I'll feel like one of those kids who gets abducted by pervs who use the lure of something adorable. If the thread goes on to mention zombies, I usually find myself incapacitated by a severe strain to my eye-rolling muscles. It can be a real pain in the rectus. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mogunner 240 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I named my Saiga, I call it Genesis... I call my Mosin Nagant 91/30 SON OF A BITCH because that's what I say if I don't have it held quite right when I shoot that first round... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
timy 1,185 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Uh oh, I appear to be in the minority here. I call my 308 either Brutus or Bluto off the Popeye cartoon series. Seems appropriate for some reason. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BpS12 512 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Bullpuped S12 - Etin Thrasher Tobuk'd RPK - Daciana(for the ancient peoples of her homeland) Danish Axe - Ulv's Maw Short Sword - Ulv's Klaw I name the things that I make/build/significantly modify myself as they have a bit of me in them. A smith that doesn't put a bit of himself into his work, isn't worth being called a smith. And one that does, his work deserves being named. Keeps the spirit of the item happy to be addressed by name. And a happy wepon is a dependable weapon. There are often good reasons for following in the footsteps of our Honored Ancestors. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

storm6490 2,768 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I have a custom mauser that came back from WW2. Only thing original on it is the receiver. I named it Christy after the first rifle that was ever issued to me. Christy was my first real girl friend in high school and I had a pair of her panties in the butt stock along with a photo and a cleaning kit. I have a few choice names for my weapons when they don't work. I think I have named them all in the past but the only one I really can say holds a name forever is my lucky 300HH elk slaying rifle, Christy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Nope, no names. With so many in the collection I could never remember them all.

Voltia 375 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I don't name mine. They are referred to by brand, then model if needed, then maybe barrel length or something if needed to tell them apart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do agree but for the most part none of my shit has names. I call them all baby. Guns and truck. Haha talking my bronco is what keeps it running. My 223 saiga is at times referred to as bonquisha or shaquanda. She's heavy black and devours anything I feed her. Edited May 9, 2012 by 86camaro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
