Firearms related acronyms

[bear71]

I'm fairly familiar with most of the firearms related acronyms like FTE, FTF, SA/DA, DAO, CCW, IWB, etc.

To keep this firearms related here's a start.

FTE - Failure to eject
FTF - Failure to fire
DAO - Double action only
SA - Single Action or Springfield Armory
IWB - Inside the waistband

Add more please, education is key.

I am however unfamiliar with some of the general conversation acronyms, can I get some help with YMMV, BTT and others not as obvious as IMHO or BTW.

FTF can also mean failure to feed. There are so many maybe people can just ask about ones they aren't sure of.
There's also a list of them here: http://thehighroad.org/library/acro/acron.html

Oh, on the failure to feed (FTF), that also means face-to-face if the person is talking about a sale or trade (context).
Also, EBR means evil black rifle (aka-AR15)
