Firearm Personality Types

1
It’s commonly accepted that different personality types are drawn to different types of firearms.
The handy reference chart below is one man’s opinion that manages to offend just about everybody.

Wow, yeah, whoever made that has some problems. It's like he intentionally set out to be as crude and insulting to as many people as he possibly could. Even get's in a random swipe at gay people.

Those are typical Mosin Nagant lover memes. Look at the Mosin description in it. Here is another very old pro-Mosin meme from back when Mosins were $60 and AKs were affordable.

The anti-gunners might take it seriously but we don't. :lol:
And, of course, the last entry betrays the author's bias. :)
.38 Special Snubnose – you are a master operator who ends all violent confrontations in 5 shots or less. In fact, you don’t even need a firearm to be dangerous, which is why you keep it locked in the safe. Reloading is for amateurs and try-hards who can’t shoot straight. You know that semi-automatics are a passing fad, and that all shall return to the Church of the Wheel Gun…in time. Using sights are a dangerous fantasy, since all gun fights happen at 3 meters or contact distance. You can kill a Mastodon with a plastic spork.
While all these are funny, they really push the heterosexual manliness fantasy of gun ownership.

Lemme see: I have the Beretta CX4 Storm--and am a BSG fan (only the JJAbrams re-boot), and a Marlin but in .357.

What's NOT there (and I'm HIGHLY OFFENDED!!! :oops: :evil: :evil: :evilmad: ) is the Kel-Tec Sub2000!

They left the S2K off the list because it is far too awesome and no one could adequately describe such intelligent and thoughtful owners.

Oh, that's SUCH a crock of shit :shit: :lol: :laugh: but thank you for the compliment! :clap: :beer2:

I really like my S2K despite its ideosyncracies and more recoil for 9mm Luger than most hand guns!

Yes, I know. The random gay people swipe did not get past me either, but I knew it would get y’all talkin’. ;)
Mosins are the only rifle you can say anything good about? Better than my “too heavy” M1A? Hah!
(Too heavy? Ummm...get off the couch and try more PT.) Opinionated gun people are so funny.

PS— As it turns out, 5.56 WAS just a “passing fad”.... :laugh:

Gun people, motorcycle people (esp H-D people), musician people, swimming pool people are ALL opinionated! You should see how swimming pool owners fight over the "best" kind of filter! (Sand, DE, or Cartridge). :roflmao:

Geez, I didn't read that first post because I remembered seeing that meme before. I went back and now see what you mean.

Why is so much of the gun culture so far-right?

I'll be a Fudd any day versus Tacticool or Mall Ninja.

The word "Tactical" to describe pens, pants, flashlights, T-Shirts, etc has become a punchline in this house. "So Tactical!"

Good morning all,

So, I am the offending author of this particular tongue-in-cheek attempt at humour. As well as the owner and editor of the website in question (for my sins). My own personal biases against .38 Special snubbies aside (there is a long and sad story behind that, for another time), I find the last comment interesting.

My reference framework for firearm ownership is in the South African context. It is still very much dominated by what you may call a heterosexual manliness component of society, although that is rapidly changing on this side of the water. And that is indeed a good thing. The difficulty with satire of this nature, is that I need to stereotype to a large extent to make it work. Now, if I can include more people to offend, so much the better.

If you have any comments and suggestions on what would constitute more liberal stereotypes in the firearm world, please tell me so that I can bring out a liberal edition of this piece, and so-doing cause required offence within yet another population segment :) I live to please, after all.

Cheers all!

:welcome:
good morning, stranger.
we generally prefer new members to go make themselves an intro post, here:
viewforum.php?f=37 (note the new topic button)
where you can tell us such things as where you are located and what you like to shoot and how you became aware of us without embroiling yourself in an ongoing controversy. and we like pictures, too, especially of your guns.
meanwhile your concerns about how to express self-deprecating humor without denigrating others are valid and worth discussing. many of us have linguistic and literary bents and enjoy wordplay. me, i'm just verbose. as you can see in this very thread, some of us are more sensitive to and aware of the potential for abusive language than others. let's talk.
i'm retired. what's your excuse?
