What would you like your gun to smell like?

[Preacherman]

With the news that automakers are designing scents into their cars (for example, see here), the fascinating question comes up - what scent would you like to smell on your guns?

I can think of an endless range of marketing opportunities here. Ladysmiths could smell like roses; Desert Eagles could smell like camels; Glocks could smell like burnt toast; and so on!

So let's hear it from the THR peanut gallery. What scent would you want to smell on a gun, and why?

 

[Telperion]

Smells like ... victory!

 

[Brian Dale]

Burning gunpowder - 'cause that means I'm out shooting.

Remember, you asked.
I like the smells of :
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee
Sassafras
Carpenthian Burl
Peppermint
Toffee

I'm very content with the smells of a deep rich bluing and fine wood grips, mixed with smells after I shoot one of mine though.

 

[Schuey2002]

I want one that smells like the interior of a Bentley Arnage..

Why?

1) I want to be a "Big Dog", and according to Jermaine Dupree I can never be a "Big Dog" unless I purchase a Bentley..
2) I can't afford one..
3) They smell awesome!

 

[SquirrelNuts]

I would make mine like a multilayer jaw breaker...so that the scent would change the more you shot it...gives you an incentive to go shooting.

I want my guns to smell like a good houndawg.
So they can sniff out X rings every time.

I want them to have the scent of powder n RIG n Hoppe's etc.

My truck smells like a houndawg, my guns smell like RIG and Hoppe's and such already. I can smell the gunpowder on this one ...and that one over there,if I sniff real hard I can smell the wood and blue...anybody wanna a sassafras drop ?

 

[10-Ring]

I've had my gun smell like a few diff't solvents, cleaners & lubes. I prefer a neutral non-smell thank you

 

[P95Carry]

A faint - if lingering ... reminder of the last cleaning with ''Eau de Hoppes #9'' ..... along with a soupson of fresh made Guatamala coffee ........ and a hint........ just a hint - of burned double base nitro!!!

[Zundfolge]

All my guns smell like Hoppes and RemOil and by God that the way I like it

now if I could just get that blend of Hoppes and RemOil in a cologne I'd be happy

 

[TheeBadOne]

Cordite baby, Cordite!

....at least that's what we called the smell from a main tank gun firing back in the day!

Former Co. B Top Gun

 

[Tommy Gunn]

A gun should smell like Hoppe's #9.

 

[Stickjockey]

What Tommy said.

 

[Mark Tyson]

The smell of spent rounds and/or cleaning fluids is the best smell in the world.

 

[Chris Rhines]

Cinnamon. Vanilla.

Yeah, I use Shooter's Choice.

The day after burritos and beer.

My guns are NOT designed to give happpy feelings. They are designed to save my life by driving away or stopping bad guys.

 

[Hkmp5sd]

It should smell like Hoppe's in the morning, Cordite in the evening.

 

[feedthehogs]

The day after burritos and beer

Now thats foul.

 

[BerettaNut92]

Girls

But failing that I like the orangey scent of Powder Blast and, well, CLPey smell of CLP just fine.

 

[HogRider]

Fresh ground Espresso beans in the morning.

In real my Guns smell like Hoppe's #9 and that's just how I like it.
