If you mean names "of" famous weapons, there's the famous German long range Krupp gun called "Big Bertha"!

Sting and Ankle-Biter.

Tolkien used Norse literature for the Dwarves details.  Vikings loved to name their weapons.

Battle-Troll

Leg-Biter

Life-Taker

Some that come to mind.

Ummm....well....I like the sound of Valhalla.

For those of you who don't know, this is where Viking warriors would go after they were killed in battle. A sacred place reserved only for true warriors. I'm not sure if it's spelled like that or not.

To my knowledge it is just a "Thor's Hammer". There is no other name for it.

It's been too long since I read the series, but there was a Fantasy series about some swords--

I believe the a few of the names were:
Stone Cutter
Farseeker,

etc.

Can't remember the author's name right now.

Another one was the "Blacksword" book(s)--seems like an apropriate name for a black rifle.

reply: chaut chaut is the worst gun ever made!

I have to place my 02 cents in here, i seen
like tales of the gun, and military blunder's displayed about that gun! yes it was a disaster.
they have to remember about that time france
was in war with germany YES! the Tank was new;
had to deal with it, but how? same with the trench warfare with the german maxums! how are we going to deal with this? they had to quickly
come up with something and fast! i mean at that time under pressure and all this new type of warfare evoled with plane's, tanks, and machineguns they had to evoled under extreme
difficulties did not have the resourses to and time to develop "WALKING FIRE".

True enough.  It is interesting, however, that that name of a sword comes from a book written over 1000 years ago in one of the most litiginous societies ever.  It's not that different, since the lawyers were hated and feared but tolerated then, as today.  They just had different rules.

[i][b]'Mjölner'[/b][/i] was the name of Thor's hammer, which, when thrown, always came back to his hand.

What was the name of Natty Bumpo's rifle from 'The Leatherstocking Tales' by James Fenimore Cooper?

C'mon now, don't tell me you didn't go back and reread all of the Leatherstocking Tales after you saw 'Last of The Mohicans' with Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role?

What kinda 'mericans are you? Anyway?
