Best & worst name designations given to guns?

[ShadyScott999]

Then you have the Nighthawk "Lady Hawk".

 

[Duke of Doubt]

GBExpat: "Star BM"

Fail!

Man, that's better than the old F.A.G.

 

[jackstinson]

I've always thought my little .25acp Reck LA Fury had an amusing name.

 

[kanook]

In response to PT1911 'he was licensed to carry a weapon.'"
in the state of Florida your carry permit states"concealed weapon or firearm license" (must be something different between them) last I checked, guns were used by some for hunting and fighting. I never said that they werent, but we agree that firearms are used for sport (kinda hard to do a round of spoting clays with a sword) but i absolutely must ask, if you are to respect a gun and treat it like a weapon, what are you treating it like? if not a loaded gun!!!!!? I never said to mistreat them, all I said that calling them a weapon was a bad name. I use mine to put food on the table and as a tool for self preservation.

HK with the HK45 come into mind.
For a lot of people this name is confusing.
P45 would have been just fine for example.

""LORCIN was actually named after Jim Waldorf's two daughters: Lori and Cindy : Lor-Cin
Would you be offended if someone said your children's names sound like diarrhea medication? ""

only if they had potty mouth

old.....Hopkins 'Dictator' or the ever obscure 'Captain Jack'

 

[miconoakisland]

Thank goodness Waldorf's daughters weren't named Dianne & Rianna.
But then again, his products may have gone off at inopportune moments or exploded and not had so many FTE.

 

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

Star "BM", LOL. You've got to squeeeeeeeeze the trigger hard!

sm, I was just thinking of "The Raven" today for some reason - what a great poem!

 

[wuluf]

I have a Remington Sportsmaster bolt action rifle. I mean..um..it's a fine rifle, but it's a .22. Sportmaster??

 

[Brian Dale]

wuluf, in the mid-20th century (gracious, I feel old) Remington had a lot of "Whatever-it-is-master" names on their products. For example, there were such .22 rifles as the Model 510 Targetmaster (I have one), the 511 Scoremaster, the 512 Sportsmaster (my Mom has one, too; I like it), the 513 Matchmaster and the pump-action 572 Fieldmaster...they probably thought of calling their 870 riot gun the "Thugmaster" and chickened out.

It was cool at the time, I suppose.

 

[atblis]

On the flip side, IMI named their sp-21 the "Barak". Who knew that the "Barak" would cause so much heartache?

I've seen one of those in person ~4 years ago. I don't think they're selling too well. Don't look any better first hand, and the controls are a little odd

[JimJD]

I own one of these...

U22 Neos (Beretta).

It's not the best or worst name, but it makes me think:

A: I bought a submarine, and it's not yellow.

or

B: I'm supposed to report to Captain Nemo for duty after I'm done at the range.

It's been an okay pistol, but it has had issues. If I could do it over, I'd probably get a different .22 LR pistol.

 

[Big44mag]

Nobody has pulled the Cobray Ladies' Home Companion yet?

Damn thing weight 9 1/2 pounds, and has a 12" barrel. I'd love to see the lady that is going to pull that thing out of her purse.

Don't get me wrong. I love them and understand why they named it that but wow, that thing is a beast.

 

[LoneCoon]

Big44mag

I can't tell if that's awesome or the AWESOMEST thing I have ever seen.

I must find one now.

 

[jerkface11]

The 'Destroyer' carbine, chambered in the mighty 9mm Largo.

The rifle wasn't called a destroyer it was made by destroyer they even have a little destroyer (the boat) on the top of the receiver.

 

[Big44mag]

Haha, does this work for you LoneCoon?

 

[LoneCoon]

I am envious of your collection, and bow to your superior firearm stash.

 

[Restorer]

Chauchat, a French WWI weapon, AKA "Gladiator".

If this thing was a gladiator, it fought with a rusty short sword, a trident with one prong, and with one foot nailed to the ground.

Truly awful weapon.

 

[mcwjr13]

The one I just can't get over is the pardner by H&R. The name just bugs me.
