scohen2002 0 Posted March 7, 2013 Why do most people posting pictures of their guns put an object like a pen, or a shot gun shell through the trigger guard? Is it to demonstrate it couldn't have been fired at the time? Struck me as weird but so many people do it, i'm curious as to why. Second question, i wanted to post pictures of my AR and my 1911 etc in the sections for showing those kinda of guns, but i am limited to only 500K in total upload size which got filled up by two photo attachments. How do i get more space, by joining and paying? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSD1026 48 Posted March 7, 2013 a) people put the pen in the trigger area to prop it up and put it at an angle so you can see it easier in the pic b) use Image Shack and link the image in your post.. http://imageshack.us/ (its free).. and they give you a direct link to your uploaded image to post on forums..

Souljah523 4 Posted March 7, 2013 They put pencils or pens in the trigger guard to prop their gun up to right angle for the picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duppie 73 Posted March 7, 2013 Firstly...I had the same question not too long ago but It's to keep the gun at an angle for a better perspective and photo. and I now use Photobucket for my photos,free,easy to use and no fiddling with the size to post.

zoid 24 Posted March 7, 2013 I use google picasa to upload a lot of my pics and just link the pics to the album. And like DSD said, the pen/shell is just to prop the gun up. Personally I like to use objects or methods that do not detract from the picture itself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted March 7, 2013 It's to keep their toes out of the pic. If you own guns, and you don't have a pen, you are probably barefoot. At least, that's the story the pics tell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
