Maksim 1,504 Posted October 25, 2011 Um, never even crossed my mind to name my guns... I name my fish... Sig, Kimber, etc... but I stopped after 3. The only nickname I have for my gun is one... Block for my G37 =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hd2000fxdl 422 Posted October 25, 2011 Don;t name my guns, but I do name some of my Bikes, all the bikes I had that were older than my 74 had names but now only my 83 Shovel does, my 08 Ultra is way too new and if you know anything about Harleys anything newer than Shovels don;t really have any soul like the old iron. Now before our resident BMW guy jumps in, your old iron bikes are right there in a class of there own as well and you know they are also a part of the family just like old HD's, Trumpets, Indians, Vincents, Enfields, etc..

tt-33 8 Posted October 26, 2011 I never did it for real but kidding around Ive refered to any russian rifle as Ivan,my dogs are named after english gun makers so I think you need a sense of humor with anything gun related Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maideneddie 35 Posted October 26, 2011 Some of my guns have gotten very bad names when the act up like, you piece of sh*t when one jams, of you f-ing piece of.crap when it fails to eject, or you dirty whore when I have to clean it at the end of a shooting session. Names go no further than that, purely heat of the moment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murphy4570 15 Posted October 26, 2011 Some people name their cars too. I never understood it. I refer to inanimate objects by their name, I don't create a "pet name" for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robot_hell 72 Posted October 26, 2011 I don't name my guns, in fact the only inanimate object I have ever named was one of my cars-- it was called Bessie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malsua 1,422 Posted October 26, 2011 I'd no more name my firearms than I'd name a rake or a shovel. That said, if it were ginormous, annoying or really oddball in some fashion, it might get named something like Günther. You know who Günther is right? If you fly as much as I have, you ultimately end up sitting next to a German who lives out of a bag smaller than a 1911 case. His name is invariably Günther. He last took a shower several weeks ago when he left the motherland and you ran into him on the 3rd leg of a 22 hour flight to Asia. Now you've got 7 hours to enjoy his surly manner and bask in his ripeness. Günther is such an indelible memory that you recount these encounters on a gun forum some years later. Günther's name is reserved for that special piece of equipment that irritates the hell out of you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bulpup 98 Posted October 26, 2011 The only weapon I named was my M249, kinda. I called it the pig, on account of how f'in heavy and unweildy it was. Then I met a guy that had been issued a M60. He thought the name was "cute" and rolled his eyes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
