I like trimming cedar trees out of pasture with my SKS.

Erotica

I saw a picture or two of a woman doing some, oh so improper, things to herself with the barrel of a big pistol, looked like a Taurus Tracker......I just hope it wasnt loaded!

Indeed a wake up device, we used to fire blanks outside our mates foxholes to wake them up (when we weren't tactical of course!) You should see them jump! Another favourite was to let of a thunderflash!

Handy replacement for a broken chainsaw - preferable .30 caliber or larger. (I've seen a ten-inch tree felled this way!)

Line-throwing devices for ship-to-ship lines - just don't try to catch the big rubber bullet! Ouch! (Seen that too.)

Nail driver.

Sure fire House Mouse Elimination. (Been there, done that!)

Not recommended for killing Cottonmouths in the bottom of your boat. (Not me, but a buddy did this! His grandad, who owned the boat, was mightily peeved.)

Golf driver - Fore! Bang!

shot my son's m-44 yesterday and threw a piece of chain in the bottom of our cardboard box "target stand"-came out in three pieces so I guess you could add bolt cutter/hacksaw to the list!
the m-44 could also qualify as a night time signal device, pear-burner (as in prickly pear), and paint remover if you shoot over the hood of the truck. :assult:

I re-read the first post - nonshooting uses! Okay.

A couple of those long Mosins or Arasaka's might make good boat oars.

In Airport Security, we had a .38 snubby frame sealed in plastic, to test the metal detector.

Anyone remember the Roadrunner shifter handle shaped like a revolver target grip?

Thought of another use for a gun...

-Substitue the gun butt for a gaval when politicians are calling meetings to order.

Hey, as long as it is your gun and it is unloaded, go for it!

I read a story from a guy who hunts gators legally. He had two 12 footers and a 15 footer tied up in his boat. One started thrahing around and became loose...6 shots with a .44 mag later two had struck the head of mo gator and four had created drain holes in the hull!! He said he'd rather plug four holes that have to be called stumpy!
