Don't believe I've ever seen one of those in any of my Local GUN Shops. Ya never know what some of dem ol' boys might have in the back room tho...

Rifles, pistols, shotguns and revolvers ARE NOT guns.

THIS is a gun.



You see you me nor anyone else here is being especially correct in our terminology.

The Brits were calling shotguns guns long before the founding of the U.S. and the invention of self-propelled artillery. Best guns, etc.

Lots of people were.

We all know what we all are talking about so it boils down to pick nitting.... I mean nit pickin

The correct and PROPER term is "picking nits" as in, the old english terminology for picking small insignificant fights, because of course the word nit is derived from greek word niet that means small quibble. Picking nits is not to be confused with picking noses.

Dont get too torqued up..... there just a bunch of no nothings


Seriously though... and speaking of torque.... 99% of people will say that a motor has xxx ft-lbs of torque. Its lb-ft.

Ive come to realize that I cant expect perfection from others when I'm not perfect myself.

Are you talking about an electric motor? or an internal combustion engine? many people call the engine in their car a motor. a motor uses supplied energy, a engine makes energy.

Wow.

Six pages arguing what? Terminology? Semantics?

This is going nowhere and fast.

Still wondering is it a creek or a crick? A pop, or a soda, or a coke? Is it a faucet or a spicket?

I think the mods are just letting it play out because it is harmless and not hurting anyone. Sometimes we need threads like this when every other one is doom and gloom about the future.

Creek, pop, faucet. I win!

Agreed. And surprisingly there's quite a few educational bits contained in this thread for those willing to dig.

BTW its a muzzle BRAKE! A muzzle break would be letting it go to lunch.

Picking nits? I thought that is the practice of people trying to rid themselves of head lice?

How may I have been so wrong?

You must have read that on the internet.

Remember, you can't automatically accept everything you read online as fact.

Also, 83% of statistics are entirely made up. True story.
