What's the one weapons you hate with a passion for no real reason?

he built that gun to be robust and hard use. There's a reason why the A5 was popular among duck hunters- it worked in shitty conditions. It's a tool of death, proven in combat all over the world and dropped in the muck of swamps from Minnesota to Louisiana and kept on chugging. You're not defacing that gun by painting it, you're using it as intended. Guns aren't talismans or totems or jewelry to be preserved. They're more like chainsaws- built to be used, and appreciated for that use. I've got 2 A5s, one is a Japanese 20ga, given to me by my grandfather. the other is a 1616ga Belgian made one. They stay in their original finishes to commemorate my memory of those men. But they get used like real hunting guns, in the exact manner those men would have wanted me to use them and enjoy them, and that also commemorates and memorializememorializes my uncle and grandfather. None of this idol/jewelry worshipping bullshit. Grandad wasted assloads of doves with that gun, threw it in a dusty truck cab and it stayed there, with his shoulder sweat on the comb,cuntil he shot it again. Uncle shot mallards in the face with it on the TN River and he had to use it as a canoe paddle more than once. They're both collectible guns, but to me they have more value than that. I exercise that value by using them the way they were intended to be used, Like real hunting guns, not safe queens.
