Do you own a Gat, Heater or Roscoe?

And if anyone says a pew pew, I'm gonna ask a moderator to shut the thread down, that's just wrong.

Isn't a pew pew what comes out of your butt after certain vittles?

I call mine a heater, after watching Star Trek TOS "A Piece Of The Action.". A bonus with that episode is you can learn to play a card game Fizbin, but you can only learn it at night, if it is Tuesday and when it is raining, or some such!

Fofo

 

[arfmel]

Yes, I do.

 

[Danjet500]

I call mine a Cobra Assault Cannon.

 

[3manfan]

roscoe, every time.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : What's this weapon's name, Private Pyle?

Private Gomer Pyle : Sir! The private's weapon's name is Charlene, sir!

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : Private Pyle, you are definitely born again hard! Hell, I may even allow you to serve as a rifleman in my beloved Corps.

Private Gomer Pyle : Sir! Yes, sir!

Heater seems to flow with me for some unexplained reason. A good friend, a VM combat Marine prefers Gat, particularly for a pistol.

Now,,,, vittles. I've watched a lot of the Beverly Hillbillies, but earlier consumption of Rawhide & Wagon Train has me usually saying, grubb.

 

[pawncop]

I have sidearms.

 

[XUSNORDIE]

My Glocks I facetiously refer to my Glocks as Gats.....any other non service/surplus handguns I refer to as Pieces.......

Long guns?....well....THIS is my rifle....THIS is my gun...THIS is for fighting....THIS is for fun......

 

[DGW1949]

In my own redneck vernacular, "Roscoe" is only used if the rod in question is a chromed or nickeled, small framed, .32 revolver. All other revolvers are simply "shooters"....."Heater"?; now that's got to be a 1911 or 1911-A1 .45 Auto and nothing else, no doubt about it....No idea about "Gat", but somebody said that that's what they call their Glocks. It does sounds like it fits though.

[gunzo]

DGW, you made me curious. Seems gat was short for the Gatling gun & when double action revolvers started becoming popular, they reminded folks of it, revolving & firing.

Just goofing around when I started the thread, but actually learned something.

 

[Fox Mike]

Not to ruin anyone's day but I call mine either what type revolver, or pistol, or rifle, or shotgun it actually is. No 'cute' names attached to any.

 

[41Dude]

Who's askin'

 

[Jeepnik]

I'm partial to smoke wagon.

 

[Bullthrower338]

How about iron

 

[mr surveyor]

why not just gun

 

[ex13F]

I sometimes refer to my K6s or my SP101 as a gat.

 

[tunnug]

When I carry, we {wife and I) call it a nug, that way if anyone's wthin earshot they have no idea what we're talking about, comes from an old episode of Frazier "watch it, he has a nug", she was dyslexic.

Borrring!
