What's your gun to age ratio?

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

Just a bit over 1.4, if you count airguns and muzzleloaders. I wouldn't mind staying over 1.0 until age 60 or 65.

17/24

87/42

 

[VegasOPM]

At this point, I'd have to live to 78 to hit 1-1. I'm 38 now, so I guess that puts me at 2.05.

 

[Eleven Mike]

they all mine mike. i earned the money to pay for them all myself!

That's cool. When I grow up, I want to be just like you.

 

[Old Grump]

Not sure

1 but different if I count throwing knives, blow guns, swords, throwing axes, nunchucks, and other potentially socially unacceptable toys.

 

[Eat Beef]

Ooops, I remembered a couple more after I voted, I'm only 1 away from 1:1, but unfortunately I'm as broke as the Ten Commandments...

 

[Harry Paget Flashman]

My ratio works out to 1.6. I'm 60 and the ratio would be a lot more impressive if I was 20. I would be too.

 

[mavracer]

trying to stay at 2-1

 

[LiquidTension]

.71.

 

[3fgburner]

.62 -- that's counting all the black powder stuff and the two CO2 guns. I figure the mortar makes up for the BB guns' caliber deficiency

 

[Aren't we all]

age 14

3 guns



Neeeeeedddd morrrreee

That's cool. When I grow up, I want to be just like you.

doesn't everybody?

 

[10-Ring]

I used to think I was somewhere between avg to above avg. Then I be-friended a guy w/ somewhere between 450 & 500 firearms at age 41 I felt very inadequate My ratio was exactly at .7

 

[Roadkill]

I'm 57 - 52 guns

 

[Vaarok]

Over five.

 

[KiltedClaymore]

you make me jelous

 

[Stevie-Ray]

.385 and not likely to get much better anytime soon.

 

[Cliff47]

At the last inventory, 91 firearms, age 60. Slightly over 1.5. Question is what to acquire next.

 

[GarandOwner]

just over 1/4

 

[doc2rn]

.351

 

[Brian Dale]

Hey gang: a ratio would be an expression such as 1:1, or 19:48, or 207:32. This is a number divided by another number, so it's a quotient; you could also call it an index or a coefficient.



Fun topic, though.

My Collection Coefficient is less than 0.5 and that's OK with me. Time constraints mean that I have trouble keeping them all frequently shot. There are still a couple of firearms on my "want" list, but I mostly buy practice ammo.

Edited to add: after I voted, the percentage of the Members taking the poll who were in the same category as I am:

45.70

Meh, the rent still has to be paid.
