Does anyone here own a gun or would like to own a gun, if so what?

Wtf would I need a gun for? I don't need to shoot anyone

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Do you write "Boru" at the end of every message for a reason? why don't you just put it in your signature?

I do have a fondness for artillery.

Though I don't really have the space for it.

Yes, I write 'Boru' at the end of every message. Old habit. I don't put it in my signature because I enjoy typing it at the end of every message.

I wasn't even thinking of artillery.

When I was at uni, I took a course in ancient engineering. Part of the course was the requirement to re-construct, using as much period materiel as possible, a piece of pre-Renaissance engineering. I was on a team that built a Roman scorpion, basically a large crossbow on wheels. We could reliably hit (80%) a man-sized target at 100m.

I think guns are pretty cool. When I get older I'd like to learn to shoot. If I ever get rich I'm ordering a single-shot Tsar's Cannon from Russia.

Then you should be able to easily identify it and describe what you collect to others.

ahh, common douche bag miss conception.. Gun are not just for shooting people. One can shoot pets, varmits, fowl, large game and even preditory animals not to mention inanimate objects.. Then there is the historical side of guns. Some people collect old guns to tie them to certain events in history.

If you had the space, what would you like to own, if you could have anything you want?
