Have you named any of your weapons?

I have a Glock 19, and I named it LOLA….
After the song
“ What ever Lola wants Lola gets”
From the “Damn Yankees” Play.

I rarely name any of my weapons.  However, my wife did name my gun TIMEX.[;)]

Not individually, but the battery as a collective is called "Damage Inc.".

Yeah, on a few of occasions. I have a POS Marlin semi-auto .22 that we call "POS". I call my muzzleloader "'Ol Blunderbuss". The AR-15 is the "FCG" (F**KING COOL GUN) My .270 is "Old Faithful" My 12ga is Native American-named "Kills from Both Ends" My Browning lever-action .22 is "Sweet Piece" The .357 is "The Noisy one". My girlfriend's Colt .380 is "Little Peace of Mind". Haven't come up with names for the Beretta or Sig yet. Everyone else calls them "Damn nice!" [thinking]

No.  I also do not name my hammers or screwdrivers, not even the electric screwdriver.

Uh, *cough*

Winchester .30-06: Kimberly
Remington 6mm: Anna
.22 Long Rifle: Melanie (like it's namesake, the rifle can be a lot of fun, and it can also be a complete bitch. It like to not fire)
Armalite AR-180B: Erin
The AR-180B is the only one not named for a girl who I tried and failed to date. Erin is a friend of mine from high school who basically asked me to name it that. Too bad she goes to school in Alabama. [:(]

Oh yeah, I have 4 AR's....
Carl
Frank
Debbie
and
Gerard

Not.

Like another post already covered, I have no compulsion to name mechanical devices. Guns, washing machines, cars or weed eaters.

Guns cool? Oh yeah. Guns needing names? Not in my house....except the names stamped in to their metal.

My wife didn't [i]name[/i] it, exactly, but when she saw my 10/22 after I put a Fajen thumbhole stock, 16" bull barrel, and 4-12x 50mm objective Simmons scope on it she said it went from "cute" to "technologically barbaric." [BD]

Should I call it "Conan the Borg?"

There's nothing weird about it...it's just like how you name your pick-up truck (Leanne).My BM is BARBARA BUSHmaster.

I used to be a violinist until I got in the Army and blew out my right eardrum (my tone ear)on auto fire (what a way to go).  Ever since then, every rifle I've been issued has been named Melody.  Now that I own my own rifle, I suppose it'd be a shame to break tradition . . .

Yes. I have named all of my guns. But I can never remember their names.

I named my "deer hunting revolver", a S&W 8 3/8" barreled, magna-ported .41 Magnum, "Painless".  (I stole that name from the movie "Terminator")

I used to own a Ruger Blackhawk w/ a 4 5/8" barrel in .41 magnum also.  She was "The Beast" - for obvious reasons.

Mrs. A3kid referred to my first AR as "Your girlfriend" - 'caused I tended to to give her a lot more attention than I did my wife.  I never took her to bed with me, but she did sleep beside my bed for the first few weeks.  [:D]

Thank you.  I stand corrected - that's where I stole the name from.

It's hell getting old!  [:D]
