LOL!

[ARGLOCKGUY]

What I keep in my truck would strike them dead in fright!!!! Much less what is in my safe.

[P.O.E.]

Is antiques roadshow still on ?

[Eagles6]

Unless it’s womens’ lingirie then yes.

[SkyDancer]

And they also can’t say anything disparaging against the mussies otherwise it’s a hate crime and jail time for you.

[MHGinTN]

Couple I’d like to have. I wonder ... naw, too scary.

[JBW1949]

Think something is wrong with that clip thingy or maybe the trigger thingy???

[MHGinTN]

That four barrel pepper is probably a valuable antique.

[Hugh the Scot]

My 1911 tends to snag on lace.

[Swordmaker]

Other than the Colt SSA,all I see is junk.

That's NOT a Colt Single Action Army. It's a non-firing replica of a Colt SAA, made out of pot metal, a TOY!

The rest are all curios and relics, most are black powder muzzle loaders which would be legal in the US for anyone to own.

[PLMerite]

What is that, the Mau Mau collection?

[SkyPilot]

LOL!

[Flatus I. Maximus]

A terrifying arsenal? Oh my. From left to right:

1. An “English Bulldog” revolver

2. I have no idea. Might be a starter pistol.

3. The rusty wreckage of an Adams revolver.

4. A percussion boot pistol.

5. A Spanish-made non-firing Colt SAA replica. The cylinder cuts are a dead giveaway.

6. An I-don’t-what-the-heck-that-is. Perhaps a pistol-like thing hacked down from a Flobert rifle.

7. A percussion pepperbox revolver.

Truly, a terrifying collection — for the shooter, if any fool ever tried to load and fire one of them.

[Robert DeLong]

Actually some look like antiques.

[cyclotic]

Remember a few years ago when the swat team was called out in the U.K. When they found a spent .22 casing?

[Vendome]

Beautiful weapons.

[Tax-chick]

If I fail to be terrified, then what?

[cyclotic]

I have an unregistered fully automatic battery powered caulk gun in my arsenal.
