Disliked gun related terms, expressions.

[Mr. Zorg]

I hate just about everything today.

ALL the cutesy words and nicknames. Boolits. Shottie. Remmie. Winnie. Mossie. Springer. Flinter. Rocklock. Smokepole....ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Use any of these or any of the other myriad of stupid nicknames, and I will immediately discount anything and everything you have to say (I have a similar opinion of people with "Punisher" logos on their guns or gear....).

I also can't stand when people feel the overwhelming desire to interject "a revolver is not a pistol!!!!!" (yes, it is). "Get your booger hook off the bang switch!!!" (ugh) And everyone's favorite "It's not a clip, it's a magazine!!!!!!" (even gun manufacturers called them "clips" many moons ago, before being browbeaten down by the internet expert word warriors) I call them "clips" every chance I get, just to make these twerps' blood boil.

Oh my, as George Takei would say - I haven't run into a revolver not being a pistol from someone I've interacted with - yet (thankfully).

That one does not seem to be as prevalent now as it used to be.. .thankfully. But I still do see it.

We might need to get over ourselves a little bit.

How could I forget... "muscle memory"

How could I forget... "muscle memory"

Is that a riddle?
Ummm ... You would be inclined to forget muscle memory if your muscles are not memorable???

Tragic boating accidents where all guns and ammo are lost.
Davey Jones has quite an arsenal.

Almost 10 pages of things to gripe about seems like plenty. Let's save some for next time.
