“Guns”

So it bothers me when people refer to rifles and pistols as “guns”. Here is a visual explanation:

This is a rifle:

ak-47

This is a pistol:

SIG P226

And this is a gun:

  1. Ah – but which is for fighting and which is for fun?

  2. @Brian: All are for both.

    Also, firearms have a military utility of probably 5-10 more years at most. After that, I guess it’ll mostly be robots and robots+venom/poison. If the private citizens who figure this out first are libertarians, then perhaps a mass murdering regime can be avoided.
