[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1650976, member: 9308"] Interesting. I can't recall ever naming one of my guns but I like the creativity you guys show in naming yours. When I was an SP in the USAF, one of my co-workers decided his M-16 was "Haboo" and he would talk to it at times. Just one of those things that made me go, "Hmmmm..." Once I became the armorer, the guns were all numbered so that's how we referred to them (Rack placement and position in that rack, so something like: A-5 or C-12.) As I think about it, numbers or calibers are fine, but names are COOL! The A-10 is a nice plane identifier, but the "Warthog" is bad-a_ss. The Honda CBR929RR was a good motorcycle, but calling it a "Fireblade" made it sound like a road-weapon. I may have to come up with names for my 'favorite' guns now that you've got me thinking about it. My Remington 700 titanium in .308 Win is going to be first to get a name and it will be called '[B]son-of-a-b[/B]_[B]i[/B]_[B]t[/B]_[B]c[/B]_[B]h[/B]' because every time I pull the trigger on that super light thing and it kicks me so hard that those words just tumble from my mouth.
