New Gun

[TheArtist]

Should arrive this week.

Ok, I need to do a little "thread analysis".

I thought this would be at least three pages of MM and me discussing guns. And maybe a side discussion on why I would buy a black powder pistol.

Instead, nothing.

Why?

Sorry Arty, I WAS actually wondering why you would buy black powder, but figured it would have something to do with local laws and so on, plus I know there are a lot of build your own kits for Black Powder out there.

I've had some sort of 'bug' since the first of the month thats kept me wrapped in my blankie, sipping tea and coughing rather than having too much fun online.

Did you get your new toy then?

Dearest MM,

The thought of you all icky and sick makes me sad. I wish you speedy recovery. However, not everyone is sick. Have I miss-judged the "gun-nuttiness" of the Tea Room?

 

[Archibald Nixon]

You're buying a gun that shoots balls.

 

[Cassie]

Black powder is lots of fun, messy though.

 

[TheArtist]

Well, yeah.

But I'm trying to figure out why this thread failed.

I saw a cake in the shape of a Bofors 37 mm once. A good 50 centimeters’ worth of nougat gun barrel.

For the Brits-in-North-Africa-during-WW2 wedding theme, presumably?

 

[TheArtist]

I gotta tell ya, shooting it was nice. Smooth as silk to shoot.

Bitchin.

I'm more of an automatic guy myself, but if it fits you, go with it.
