Maybe if they're Really Big.

Just one. My 35 some odd year old Mossberg 500 12ga. Accompanied me on every deer, pheasant, duck, turkey, dove, rabbit and squirrel hunt since I bought it. Also broke hundreds of clay pigeons over the years. A childhood hunting buddy named it "Thumper" on it's first hunt, we limited out on pheasant. The name has stuck to this day.

I don't name inanimate objects like guns or cars. They're just tools. Well, to be honest, I've named a few cars, they all had the same first name...."Piece of......"

^^^ THIS ^^^
But I did have one car that was so bad I had to name it SH'ASATA. SH'ASATA have this, SH'ASTA have that, SH'ASTA have something fixed just about every week.

I usually don't but I have called them all kinds of names when I'm having a really bad range session.*s*

 

[Rustyt1953]

I had one called "exhibit A".

Other than a description like SS, 3913NS, with ivory grips I don't name my guns. I think S&W and Ruger did a workable job of naming them.

By the way a 3913NS is the gun Bond should have been carrying, not some Beretta or Walther. It is more reliable, with more firepower, and just a better pistol.

Alas, Bond was first introduced in 1953, in "Casino Royale", and it was not until the 6th book, "Dr. No", in 1958, that he had his Beretta taken away, and was issued his Walther PPK, .32, which hit "like a brick through a plate glass window". The Ian Fleming series of books ended in I believe 1966.

I think that the 3913 did not come on the scene until about 1990, by which time Mr. Fleming had passed away.

He did arm Bond with a Smith and Wesson, however, at the same time that he received his Walther: he was given a Centennial.38 Spl. Airweight. It was not to survive the Dr. No book, however, as it was lost on Crab Key, and never reappeared.

Odd question

Why would OP think any of us had guns

 

[CS45Fan]

No - but if I did they would all have the same name "The Equalizer".

 

[rwsmith]

Probably code...

No I don't name my guns, but did get a chuckle checking my Sig P938 on to a flight yesterday. The woman gate agent, said "This ones got the baby in it"

That's probably code for, "THIS ONE'S GOT THE GUN IN IT!!!!"

 

[rwsmith]

My guns are fed...

I personally wouldn't, but if you feed something you can call it anything.

My guns are fed constantly. Especially since I started shooting semi autos.

'Old Blue' was our Ford Galaxy.

"The Green Hornet" was my AMC

I don't name my guns but if I did..

My 686 would be 'Sweetheart'

My 5943 would be 'Baby'

My Shield would be "Junior"

My Kel Tec would be my "No fun gun"

My rifle would be "Cheap Old Deer Rifle"

My shotgun would be "Mr. Browning"

My model 36 would be "Tiny"


PS I came up with a good one. Our company insisted that Lotus Notes was a great computer program and we were going to use it and like at. After a while I called it "Lotta Snots".

 

[rwsmith]

How 'bout.....

Inanimate objects....well, if that's the case, what do I call my daughter's boyfriend?

How 'bout "Worthless" or "That little *******".

 

[SW MP15]
