Does /k/ name their weapons? Do you actually refer to them by those names when talking to other people?

>Think of 'joke' names for weapons, usually diminutive or having to do with the weapon's flaws.
>Never use names because it still sounds autistic as fuck.

What does /k/ call their favorite boomsticks?

I named my pistol Sinestra.

I was strongly considering getting it etched in Latin on the slide, but decided against it, as invariably it'd be used against me in court if I had to defend myself.
>>
I've only named a handful and they're pretty autistic.

>Minerva - mini draco SBR built years ago when there were only like 1k in the country. Named after Roman goddess of battle and other things. Thought it would be the perfect rifle. Was wrong, but the name stuck.

>Nålsöga - 14" non-nfa mossberg 500. The name is Swedish, as mossberg is originally Swede, and means needle's eye. This is in reference to the batshit legal hoops that have to be jumped through to make it a legal configuration.

>Jet - 80's era Colt 1911. Bought with the money I got from selling my old '99 Jetta. RIP, you were a tank.

So that's 3 named, and about 48 not named.

I call my Mosin "Nagant"

My shotgun is named Nova

My handgun is P93DC

My revolver is GP100

My Winchester is "Winchester Model 1894"

I'm not a fag who feels the need to name inanimate objects.

>>29182040
Naming a gun a non-female name is just wrong.
>>
>>29182125
Yeah, they'd call you crazy for naming your gun "Left."

SAW still needs a name, but I'm stumped.

I have a blued TC Encore pistol with a 15" ported barrel chambered in 308. I call it the "Black Dingus." Pic semi related.
>>
I've only named one of guns, one of my ar15. I named it kindness, mom always said to kill em with kindness.
>>
Only in BCT did I name my rifle after my first girlfriend. Now all my guns are "Fucker" and "Piece of shit"
>>
>>29182040

I have a chrome Raven MP-25 with pink pearl grips.

I call her Precious....like the movie.
>>
I tried to name my guns, I really did. The practice never stuck for me. I usually just call my guns by manufacturer; the Mossberg, the Ruger, etc. Eventually I'll own two guns made by the same company and I'll have to address that.

I have a Norinco M14 with a synthetic GI stock on it, that came with the number 43 stenciled on it.

I named it Yon-san (Japanese for "four-three", also sounds vaguely like a name with the honorific). A shitty pun for the rifle of shitty puns - and because even all grown up, deep down I'm still a goddamn weeb.
>>
I named my WASR "The Man"
>>
Pocket knife named billy
>>
My AR is named Kaiju.

Reason? Buddy named his AR Jaeger.
>>
>>29183480
Does his rifle spend a lot of time in ditches?
>>
>>29183510
Knowing him? Yes.
>>
I can see a soldier that carries his weapon in the line of fire every day making up a name for it due to the emotional bond with that. However, as a hobbyist it seems kind of autistic.

I have more, but none of the names I've tried to think of stuck, So those I just refer to by either the manufacturer or the model number.
