What flavor is your gun?

Ken824- are you suggesting that we put our guns in our mouths and ''taste'' them?

if you're saying that to be sarcastic, you should know it's been said roughly 72 times already.

if not, you're missing the point entirely.

either way, you should have read at least the 1st page of this thread before posting.

 

[SMLE]

My 1909 SMLE MkIII would taste like strong billy(tea) and Machonchie's with a hint of mustard gas and rotten Bosche.

My 1918 Irish Free State SMLE MkIII* Like cabbage and potatoes with Guinness.

My M1 like C-Rations and sulphur.

My 1777 Converted musket like hard tack, salt pork, gritty black coffee and wood smoke.

My Mossberg 22 semi-auto like fried rabbit and beans.

This is a quality thread. If not just for the entertainment value, but for getting me to realize what i really think of my guns, and even about how much i cherish some family members and memories. Thanks!

 

[SMLE]

BUMP. Why not?

 

[average_shooter]

Admittedly I haven't checked the whole thread to see if someone already said it, but;

I suppose mine taste like iron supplements... (read: no Glocks)

Whoo - Zombie thread! I love Zombie threads. This one more than most.
First I have to say:

"Captain, I find this excercise highly illogical. Why would a firearm have a...'flavor'?"

"Shut up Spock and lick your Phaser."

This just woke my whole family up.

As to my guns:
_____________________________________
Winchester mod. 94 .30-30:
Tastes like Pumpkin cookies. My mother made a batch of about a gross of pumpkin-chocolate-chip cookies for my first season of deer camp. (I was 10.)

Taurus 605 (.357)
Bailey's. And I don't know why.

JC Higgins 12 gauge
Mashed Potatoes. It's something everyone knows about, but no one really thinks about. The simplicity of it, the lack of flash and pomp, but the brutal efficicacy that lies within it all.

Saiga 12 gauge
Borsch. I had a Russian exchange girlfriend two summers ago, and she made me Borsch. I have no idea what she put in it, because she didn't know the names of any of the vegetables - she just went to Hannaford and grabbed all the ones she needed. Put them in a pot with water and let it go. This is the flavor of the Saiga - classic Russian taste, allows for a little variation. Simplistic, yet accomplishes an incredible complexity.

Interesting...

My Kimber TLE2.

I don't know what it taste like.

But it smells like a dog.

An older dog. Maybe a Labrador.

Faithful. Reliable. Right there at my side where it's supposed to be.

Always my best friend no matter what.

 

[FourNineFoxtrot]

This thread is great... random and abstract. I love that.


My Mosin-Nagant M38 Carbine tastes like beef stew... Dinty Moore Beef Stew. Cheap, effective, easy, tastes good. Not too healthy to eat it all the time, and not everyone likes it. Does the job, though. (The Wolf ammo I feed it, however, is vodka. Cheap vodka. Cheaper than Smirnoff, comes in a big plastic tub from the bottom shelf at the liquor store, tastes like paint thinner, but has some bang to it.)

Winchester 1300 Defender (currently non-operational). When it worked, it was like a Bacon Double Cheeseburger; Big, tasty, inexpensive, pretty simple. When I shoot target loads, it's like a little McDonald's burger. When I've got full sized OO buck or slugs, it's like a big, juicy restaurant burger.

Now that it's hors de combat, I'm gonna have to say that it's like a candy bar that you left on the dashboard of your car in the sun all day. You still want a candy bar, but you're afraid to open it, because you know it's gonna be messy.

Sig Sauer P226... Gentleman Jack Whiskey. Better than the average run, but not too expensive. Great for someone trying to develop a taste for better things, but won't break the bank.

Taurus 605 .357 snubby. Corned beef hash, the way they do it at cheap diners when it's done right, all crusty, comes with eggs and a heaping pile of hash browns. Tasty, slightly unusual. Always on the menu, rarely ordered (at least where I'm from). Some people not only don't like it, but don't understand why you like it.

Browning BAR Landstalker in 7mm Rem. Mag. This one's kinda tough. I'm gonna have to go with Bacardi 151 rum. Strong enough to peel paint, and if three shots isn't enough for you, you're gonna get yourself in trouble. Not as much kick as you might expect... but it packs one hell of a punch.

Kahr MK9. Red Bull. Small. Potent. Doesn't taste great, but strangely addictive.

Remington 7615p, .223. This one's also tough, gonna have to go personal. This is like Black & Mild cigars. Small-ish, addictive as hell. I can go through a couple packs without even realizing it, but too many and my tongue... er... hands... get burnt.

 

[Cmdr. Gravez0r]

Yugo SKS

Tastes like smelly ammo can, gun rug, and trunk, with a suggestion of cosmoline and a definitive hint of blood. (It was in a war, got it?)

 

[CNYCacher]

Ruger P89

Weighs about 10 lbs
Eats anything you feed it
Has to go with me everywhere I go
Has a look only a mother could love

I guess it tastes like. . . baby.

 

[mossberg]

Classic Remington 870 flat black tastes like a '57 Chevy with an apple pie on the passenger seat.

 

[K3]

The Mosin tastes like a cabbage soup with some black bread. And not just because it's Russian, but because it's simple while satisfying the appetite. The sticking bolt I see while using some surplus ammo gives me a visual of having to chew hard bread.

The SKS I sold tasted like Sesame chicken. And not just because it's Chinese. Semi-auto, not terribly accurate but decent enough, and a whole lot of fun. Sesame chicken is kinda the same in that I enjoy eating it, it gets the job done (filling the belly), but there are better and healthier things out there!

 

[mossberg]

My cooey break barrel tastes like a winchester.

 

[strangelittleman]

I have no idea what my weapons taste like, but I know what this thread smells like!

 

[h0ss]

a little like hand sweat and powder residue. Why?

 

[arkangel06]

all my guns tast like fudge sundays

 

[beaucoup ammo]

White wing, white tail, garlic and mesquite!!

 

[macFarlaine]

Hey what's with you folks in the USA,is there something in the water we Brits need to know about ? Is this a hunting and range ritual.

CNYCacher:

Too funny!

Mossberg 500: Hamburgers. I'll always eat them and they'll always be made in my house, but nothing fancy.

Rossi 92: Homemade fancy meal. It's never the same as restaurant quality but it still gets the job done. Oh yeah, and I added too much cajun b/c it's got kick!

NEF Pardner: Mac and Cheese. Simple, I like it everytime, and everyone likes it.

Ruger 22 Hornet: Canned Food. Works and always around, but I'm not sure why I have it. (Dad's that I have taken because he never shot it.)

 

[everallm]

M'mmmmmm,

Food, Drink and Firearms.....throw in rugby and we're done

Lets see.....food and drink tastes

CZ SP-01

Got to be roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and real gravy. Filling, satisfying, reliable, suprisingly easy to do and always hits the spot. Not everyones pick until they have tasted it and then they turn to the CZ side....Oh and don't forget the required taste of English mustard, the bite reminds you not to p*ss around with it....

This has to be Guinness, strong, dark and handsome, a mans drink, not some girly lager....


CZ RAMI 2075

This is more the cheese or dessert side, poached pears with ripe stilton. Luscious, easy to prepare, simple ingredients perfectly balanced and the bite of the cheese reminds you of it's strengths.

Ahh, certainly a dessert wine, Sauternes I think, deceptively simple, best taken on it's own, deceptive depths of flavour.

Mossberg 500

This is definitely Biltong, a cured South African meat, akin to jerky. Tough, reliable, filling and keeps for years. Hard to chew at first then the flavours of the meat and the bite of the pepper and spices remind that all things worth doing can take a little time.

Definitely beer, not quite mass market, definitely not micro brewery A drink for folks who work hard and pay for what they like, don't visit a manicurist and think metrosexual is a disease....Here it is either Brooklyn Lager or Brains SA (a Welsh brew with the nickname of Skull Attack).

Robinson Arms XCR

Compo and NATO standard tea. British army ration packs and tea so strong and sweet that it can tan your guts. Never lets you down, compact and regular, your best friend after your oppo. For all that a simple elegancy of form and function betrays a "good" background, well brought up and well mannered. Someone you could introduce to your sister.

To drink.....Austere yet complex, simplicity masking underlying complexity...Scotch or Bordeaux, damn....Got it, a fine Armagnac Vieille Réserve


Bugger, now I have to wait for lunch......

 

[romma]

Hey what's with you folks in the USA,is there something in the water we Brits need to know about ? Is this a hunting and range ritual.

I hear the firearms don't taste as good over there macfarlaine...

I hear they are bland and that English firearms producers do not know how to cook them...

 

[siglite]

My AR tastes like an MRE chicken-ala-king packet.

My Tikka tastes like smoked venison.

My 556 tastes like a cold beer on a hot day.

My P220 tastes like a strong cup of black coffee.

My P226 (9mm) tastes like a weaker cup of good black coffee.

My FP10LE tastes like gourmet sushi.

My Browning A5 tastes like a sifter of Rothschilds.

My Benelli Nova tastes like a heaping plate of spaghetti with garlic bread.

 

[Mtnvalley]

My XD's taste like...well, I think it's goulash.

 

[tasco 74]

gp said the first thing that came to my mind too..
