Reading the two recent threads, I thought of a couple of examples, but since they deal with specific authors, I thought I'd start a more generic one.
One of my favorite gun-related lines is from David Brin's The Postman. This line did not make it into the movie. When he talks about SHTF and armed people, he says "Most of them were people indulging a harmless passion for rifles."
Isn't that just a great description for a lot of us?
On the other hand, Robert Ludlum has been a constant source of gun amusement for me. "Graz" and "Burya" in the hands of his KGB bad guys are just hilarious. I saw those before the Grach pistol was invented, so the only real piece of armament the name of which sounds even remotely similar was the Grad MRLS. And Burya is an ICBM. I'd love to see the holsters they used.
