What's in a Name?

[Jarhead77]

PI?- I never did it. I may have come up with names for the sand fleas...

Maybe naming your rifle was a west coast thing.

Ohhh Rahhh! Sand fleas, the Drill Instructors tiny friend and the Recruits worst enemy!!

I don't, but my nephew calls my Marlin .45-70 "Thumper".

 

[Colt556]

I just don't have the imagination.

 

[printcraft]

I name my dogs only.

All your dogs are named only?

I can see where they would get confused when you call them.

Oh yeah its easy...

My Springfield Armory 1911 is Sierra Alpha 11
the Walther P99c is Whiskey Papa 99 Charlie
Now my Jericho I call Jericho because Juliet does not sound right.

I've developed some highly original names for mine: XD & Ruger.

 

[mmills50]

Edc gun: sw5906 (jade - its a stone worn for protection against evil spirits)
Edc knife: spyderco police (jack - its made in Japan, samurai jack)
Shotgun: mossy 500 (ZeKe -Zombie Killer)
Rifle: marlin 60 (woody- made of wood, ex named it)
Car - ziggy- zig zigler

The guns and knife are more of code words so my mom, girlfriend, and I can talk about them in "polite compamy

 

[jbell_64]

Haven't named any guns. However, all of our chainsaws at work have names lol

Oh yeah its easy...

My Springfield Armory 1911 is Sierra Alpha 11
the Walther P99c is Whiskey Papa 99 Charlie
Now my Jericho I call Jericho because Juliet does not sound right.

I call my jericho "jerry" for short. makes it easier.

I name my firearms for a few reasons, because its easier for me to remember names. and in company i can ask my fiance about a certain firearms (I.E. Jerry) and no one knows what in the hell i am talking about. i guess it helps me remember better, we have an old police issue Beretta 92F we call "Sarge" for obvious reasons, plus it rolls off the tongue nicer than "beretta".

 

[thumperdogg]

Mine have names carved into the sides of them,

There is Springfield, Kimber, Ruger, Ceska Zbrojovka, Izmash, Zastava Kragujevac, Marlin, etc...

EPIC!

Ha ha!
