Name my gun giveaway
on: March 11, 2014, 02:55:21 PM
For those of you who Havnt seen her before,this is my new Weirhauch HW97K air rifle


I'm planning on using her as my main competition gun this year,and am currently getting her worked up to competition spec. She's due to make her first appearance on March 30th at Bisley.

Only problem is,I don't know her name! I think it may well be something German :D

So here's the deal. Suggest a name for her,and on 28 March,I'll decide the winner,who will recieve a...well,I don't know yet :think:

In the event there isn't a name I like,I'll make a random number draw for the winner.

So for example:
001-Baldrick-Blackadder
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

How about Lydia as a British version of Lyudmila Pavlichenco the most successful female sniper ;)

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Achtung! German speaking member here ;)
1) I guess she is a Weihrauch (german for incense) gun? No hard feelings for the, ähem, 'creative spelling' kirk!  :P

2) I do not know any naming conventions you have, but I like Ducttapetechs suggestion. The Dicke Bertha is called 'big' in english, 'fat' would be a better translation. She was called fat because of the large 420mm caliber with the short L/12 barrel.
So I would suggest 'Dünne Bertha' (Thin Bertha) rather than 'Little Bertha'. If you want 'Little Bertha', that would be 'Kleine Bertha' in german.

Whatever you choose, feel free to ask me if you want to translate the name into german.
Always Good Aim!

Generally in German you would hear a lot "Soldatenbraut" (Soldiers Wife) and "Bleipuste" / "Bleipumpe" (Lead blower, lead pump). However my vote goes to Lotti. There is a pretty famous song from Mani Matter
Song by Mani Matter

"[...]Ds Lotti schilet, ds Lotti schilet, niemmer weis wos mit de Ouge häre zilet[...]"
Lotti is cross-eyed, lotti is corss-eyed noone know what she is targeting with here eyes...

This Firefly show is new to me. Had to google it up. Sounds like it was pretty popular.
