I don't like the term "trigger pull". I prefer "trigger YANK".

AK-47 from the media. According to them everything out there is an AK-47. Of course the plural of "firearm" is "arsenal".

The term "Gun." I prefer boom stick, burner, blaster, chopper, fire stick, gat, gatt, heater, pocket rocket or roscoe.
Hate the word "snubbie".
For me it is the silly sounding, shotty, remmie, winny.

Every time I hear that, I think of mouthwash.
The word "Rare"....
Guns are not rare.
It is the excellent/Very Good
condition of a collectable gun
that is rare.

I agree completely with this!
Putting it bluntly, a gun is one of the most recognized phallic symbols in the known universe.
Assigning feminine traits or girlish values to a gun is simply incomprehensible to me.
I knew I was compensating for something...sigh.
Referring to the stock and for end as "Furniture".
Even worse "Tactical Furniture"
Grrrrrr

Maybe not a term per se, but it really grates on me when people anthropomorphize their guns. It happens with cars and pickups too. "She shoots straight", "She runs like the day I bought her new" etc. It's almost always "she", how come? Guns and vehicles are things, not people.
