It struck me that the girls with guns thread misses the point. So many people (and generally speaking, that's men) seem to drool over scantily or revealing clad women with a firearm, regardless of their apparent familiarity with them. The point is not sex, it's hardware.
I realized that I now can arm a small squad. And I relish it.
My collection is nearly complete.
I now have:
M1 Garand
M1 Carbine
Springfield 1903A3
Mosin Nagant 91/30
Mosin Nagant 91/30 ex-Dragoon
Mosin Nagant 91/30 PU sniper
Mosin Nagant M44
Finn Mosin Nagant M39
Tokarev SVT-40
Walther Gewehr 43
Mauser Kar98k
SKS
Two Walther P38s
Modern pistols
Browning Hi Power 9mm
Colt 1911A1 .45
Walther PPK/S .380
Walther PK380 .380
Beretta 84F .380
Beretta 92FS 9mm
Walther PPX 9mm
Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm
There is beauty in a melding of form and function. When design matches the intention in purity of line and efficiency. When the warmth and beauty of formed wood blazes forth, cradling the implied devastation of steel, there is a marriage of ironic beauty.
The ability and will to hold and control that power only adds to the beauty.
Sigh.
My dark side emerges.
