Rob15 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Perhaps people name their guns, cars, etc because they don't have any friends? Cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well i'm glad you said that Link to post Share on other sites
CapaciousZepher Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I think there is kind of a bond between a fellow and his weapon. When I trained with my local swat team I noticed that a few of the guys named their M4's. One was called betty if I remember right. I've named my VSR Jane. I don't go about naming all of my guns but a sniper's rifle is special. It's his pride and joy. Cheers! - CapaciousZepher Link to post Share on other sites
Duke-9 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I remember having to name my real steel a long time ago. Her name was Pepper, after my favorite stripper that would give me "special" treatment. My favorite was when some dumbass left his weapon behind to take a dump and female officer took it. When he came back he had to beg for his weapon to take him back. Nothing quite like watching someone beg on their knees for "Sharlene" to take him back. The conversation went like this. Dumbass - "Hey you guys seen my weapon?" LT. - coughs nosily DA - "Mam, can I have my weapon back?" LT. "How did I get your weapon soldier?" DA- "I left it behind mam." LT. "What's your weapon's name?" DA "Sharlene, mam." LT. "Do you think Sharlene likes being held by me son?" DA "No mam." LT. "You need to ask her take you back." DA - "Will you take me back Sharlene?" LT. "That's no way to beg for forgiveness to a woman! On your knees and BEG!" DA-*on knees, hands clasped together in front* "Please, please take me back baby!" LT. "Louder!!! She is ignoring you!" DA - *grovels even louder* "Please, please take me back Sharlene!" LT. "Still not good enough, women hold grudges you know." DA - *Now on his knees, hands lying on ground begging pitifully* "PLEASE BABY PLEASE!!!" LT. "Ok, you can have her back. If I take her again, you are going to have to explain the Master Sergeant how Sharlene left you for me. *LT. gives weapon back to DA* We laughed and laughed at that idiot. From then on, I learned how to take a dump holding on to a tree with my weapon. Always remember to face the tree, don't put your back to it. Not cool when a log rolls down a tree into your pants.

Erestheux Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I tend to avoid things that are batshit crazy. Which includes naming inanimate objects. Link to post Share on other sites
theoneandonlyholly Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 i like charmed, and im unashamed to admit im an addict... nameing guns is designed to create a bond between weapon and user... i chose something that meant a lot to me Link to post Share on other sites
TrueHarper Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 that is kind of weird. but if i named my gun it would be...uh gun i guess. Link to post Share on other sites
762MM Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Mmmm. . . no, i don't get it myself. I mean, i like my SR16, but it's still just the SR16 . . . i mean, if i gave them names, it might not be my girlfriends name that i called out . . . and that'd just be weird! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you mean you havent called out SR16 in bed??? mine are called Rasputin the XM8, Georgie W, the M4, and Pinkie (as in pinkie and the brain) is my XM8 Compact. others ive had were betty the G3(left me to be with my best mate) Jessie the G36C (dumped her) and karla the XM8, she died.

ElCheapo Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 People name cars, first i've heard of that <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats nothing I named the gas pump "fat ######" after the austin powers movie guy each time I see the price. Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 My SR16 used to be called Electra, but know it's called HK M4SD. Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost_Rider Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 *whispers* look at Ghost_Riders profile */whispers* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's got a name for all of them, thats alot of names <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, and they all have reasons. However, they've not all been named - my Aug STILL doesn't have a name, cos it's not told me what it is. ICS M4 is Roseanne, because she's a heavy american biatch. Pair of TM Mp5k's are Brian and Dave. Brian was named after the titular character of the Monty Python movie, as Brian had been my 'saviour' many times when my g36 had runn out of ammo or battery. However, "he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" - Dave was named Dave because I wanted a similar 'normal' name that sounded like it and Dave just sounds reliable. TM Mk23 Socom - SPOD. An acronym for Sniping Pistol Of Doom Pair of KSC Glock 19's - Dexter & Sinister. My first pair of pistols, named after the heraldic designations for left and right. I like names with a little depth for pistols. Koshai CO2 revolver - Shiela. Well....because she's a tank TM Spas 12 -Matilda. There's a quote from a made for tv movie whose name escapes me, but it's always stuck in my mind. "When you hear the racking of a 12 guage, you know they didn't come to waltz." - Hence Matilda. TM/STAR G36 SL9 - Angelina. Like her namesake, the Sl9 is not everyone's idea of beauty, but she was my ideal gun/woman Mac-11 - Ruby. An cheap american who never shuts up. Pair of TM Hi-capas - Anubis and Horus. These were named after the Egyptian gods of Death and Vengeance....again, because it felt right. S&W M500 Revolver - The Samaritan. This is my handcannon, and the name is a hellboy reference. Maruzen M870 Gas Shotgun - Natalie. Well, wouldn't you want to 'pump' Natalie Portman? As to why I name them......."Once you know the true name of a thing, you understand its nature and its weaknesses." Link to post Share on other sites
Erestheux Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Yeah, and they all have reasons.

Sale Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Or the "Camo-Kärcher with a waffle sticking out of its *albartroth*". A friend of mine has two Hi-Capas called "Ilo" and "Riemu". They are synonymous finnish words for joy and ... do you have another word for joy? Anyways, the fun thing is that he shoots people with Joy and <insert another word for joy here>. Damn, doesn't work that well in english. My rifle is called "Antaumus". It's means sort of the same thing as pleasure. Not exactly but almost. I shoot people with Pleasure. Whatever the support gunner is using is called a Milking Machine. -Sale Link to post Share on other sites

Kyrian_Zenda Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I don't name my weapons, i've never felt the need to. Maybe one day, i'll be popping off a few rounds and a name will jump out at me... But until that? I'll stick with the designations. P226, G36C, etc Link to post Share on other sites
Nothingness Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 No, strangely enough with all the... interestings things I manage to do with my guns, I don't name them... that's a little weird and I think that might freak some people out. Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost_Rider Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I have to say, it's rare that I call them by their names in company. It's just, well, that's what they're called. And yes, I know that it's just a hunk of metal, and plastic, but at the end of the day, so's a battleship and we name them...... Link to post Share on other sites

"Hell yes mam!" i don't care what punishment i'd get it'd be worth it. Ghost_rider. indeed we do name battleships. but then 3000 sweaty, horny blokes don't live in my m4, i'll leave the name thing as for only women naming cars. i'll tell that to my m8 phil, who's owned such synonymous wonders: Custard, for its faded yellow paint, and lard, due to the fact it was beige... pete Link to post Share on other sites
