    My Steyr AUG A3 had an extended tightbore barrel and was named Long Tall Sally. My F2000 is called Meredith, because it looks like the kind of gun the fish-people would use when invading us, and the name has nautical overtones. I sort of named my Beretta M92 Iwo Jima, because it killed a LOT of 'U.S. Marines' in Sennybridge at the first Chernarus Conflict game.

    I lived for three years within 5 miles of where Deliverance was filmed, so I'm excusing myself this habit. My best friend there named his daughter after his Kalashnikov.

    ...what happened Dex's post in this thread?

    on topic: I don't name my guns...I just call them what they are as a point of reference i.e. my m4, M9, taurus etc. So they're not personalised names at all...I can't say I've ever had the inclination nor impulse to name them :D

    the 249 is called clyde

    I dont necessarily name my guns...I just put QAS CUSTOM in front of the make and charge extra money for them :)

    Seriously though , My modified KJWs Co2 1911 with hurricane SIS Kimber kit is imaginatively called KIM.

    Some of my buddies and I used to name our guns but there was a formula i.e. it had to be a female name, from the country of origin of its RL equivelent and beginning with the first letter of the name of the gun. e.g. my Raffica (Baretta M93) was called Rosella


    ...very sad I know...

    Never used a formula still not bad tho, id agree it has to be a girls name like a car,bike,boat etc.
    Mine are Jenny(M4) and Betsy(M249) just felt those names fitted them id refer to them by name as well, makes for good craic :)

    Had to name my rifle in Basic Training.

    Went with 'Athena'. Sad to say, I don't think most of my fellow recruits got the reference. Ignorami.

    NTM
