Naming Guns

[Samisael]

I give my favorites names.

Olga : East German Makarov
Matilda: S&W Stealth Hunter .44mag
Duke: Marlin 1894 lever action .357 mag

I think giving assigning human traits to an inanimate object is ridiculous.

I think a lot of things are stupid. But after all the times I've worked on temperamental machines this is one notion that is far from stupid.
It's far less stupid than a lot of other very, very commonly accepted notions in society, for which we laud people for at every turn.

I knew a guy in the Army who called his M24 Sniper Rifle 'AT&T' The joke being "he could reach out and touch someone".

I knew a guy in the Army who called his M24 Sniper Rifle 'AT&T' The joke being "he could reach out and touch someone".

I figured the punchline was going to be: "Because it frequently drops people.".

Just like AT&T.

Do any of you name your guns?

Nope.

I have no problem with personifacation if it gives you a desirable outcome that you can depend on. Matilda is pushing it though.

I think it's fine assigning names to guns and other inanimate objects. But I never do. My wife and I had a hard enough time coming up with names for our kids. It would be exhausting...
