Yes, its a weapon but an object can have more than one point of perception. some might call it 'artistic merit'. For instance the AK 47 is a formidable weapon but to my eye it is practical but not beautiful. A well done AR or M16 on the other hand has more graceful lines.
This is a weapon and will kill you
But this is a weapon that will kill you and a work of art with graceful lines as well...
Function:
But them beauty is in the eye of the beholder, eh? Come on Nicky, lets see a little smile on those stoic Greek features.
Damn, I think the wine and pain meds are kicking in.

OK
There are classic lines and beauty. I give you that. I tend to be more pragmatic with respect to firearms. However, I can’t deny the intrinsic beauty of my AI or my Annie
Nice Smith or Colt revolver.

Agreed, and Aristotle spoke of a thing fulfilling its Telos, its intended function, which is a form of beauty, philosophically speaking.
A hammer is a pragmatic weapon, never misfires or runs out of ammo like army jerry. ?
I think I need to shut up ans slumber, shortly. Have a good one.
Hold your tongue, Maggot.
I would if I could find it.
The sleep of the righteous!
The nice thing about a Kriss is that you can sneak it into the petting zoo and, blam, before anyone knows it... you have your buck tag filled out!
Cheers, Sirhr
I‘m sure they will be good but they are not being offered in the Colt royal blue. That blue was the best in the business
The hilarious thing is that I bought a 2.5 inch version and people thought I was a moron. Turns out that they are the most collectible of the bunch.
They are truly an icon
I’m thinking about getting a snubnose .32 revolver. My snubby .38 has felt a bit too snappy the last few years and it just seems to be getting worse as I get older. Sure, the first shot is accurate, but not so much the second or third. I like the reliability of a revolver over an automatic, so I think a snubby .32 might be a revolver I can age into.
HK MP5, or a Zenith if you want to save a bit of coin to take all the fangirls out for dinner/drinks.
I just bought a 450 bushmaster upper that I received today. I have no real use for this as I have all my hunting calibers I need, but then I said F it... I need a big boy AR caliber!
I think you should go for the Vulcan on a prius !

I'm pretty sure it was the other way around, that small licking county buck snuck up on him.
And hey that was his first deer why he chose the kriss? Wouldn't have been my first choice but it apparently worked.
Tippmann M4 22, extra mags, 5000 rds of 22lr, and a set of steel targets. Get to training, engaging multiple targets, mag changes, clearing stoppages, all from positions of cover while in load bearing gear.
Then you have 1500 left over to buy something else shiny.

My mom has my granddad's .32 revolver. Nickle with wood grips. Pretty piece, but very limited firepower. That said, it's still better than a pocket knife.
I would get yourself a old Mossberg 46mb .22 bolt action rifle from the 40’s. I can shoot a penny open sights at 80 yards with mine and it’s a tax driver on paper. Has adjustable trigger, both peep sight and target sights. These are training rifles and have 4 different front posts that flip up. Very affordable and can find for under $200.
