What do you call your M14?

[Different]

Sometimes "vixen" but "temptress" otherwise.

This reminds me of an old 7th Fleet saying, "There are the two things that must be treated gently, military ordnance and Filipinas." That works out well as I'm married to both.

 

[purple]

I call my sweet shooting HRA M14 silent-complements of the gun control bureaucrats."But if it only saves one life,yadda,yadda,yadda".

 

[Gundoggy]

I don't own one,

However, isn't the classic name for an M14 Charlene???

 

[ipscgraz]

Under-used.

 

[Rammer Jammer]

Maggie

Betty.

When I first got her and was putting a black USGI stock on her etc, I kept getting that "Black Betty" song in my head and it just stuck.

The old Ram Jam version or the new Spiderbait one?

[archie_james_c]

Today I was calling it "Piece of ####" but normally it's the machine gun...

 

[Tehoke01]

"one of the M-14s"

 

[subdermal]

One is called "the M-14 I'm gonna chop one day" and the other is "the M-14 I only might chop"

 

[Cyanide Ride]

I call my girl "Judge Hao"

The "Judge" Because when she makes an appearance, people stand at attention. When she speaks, people take notice and is respected.

"Hao" because "Fu Hao" was one of the fiercest Female warriors that ever lived. She was also to have organized the first ever, recorded ambush in the Chinese history. With well over 13,000 troops, she was the most powerful military leader of her time.

Yes, I have put a little thought into the name

 

[markl]

I used to call her 'awesome', but then i had to rename her to 'someone else's'

 

[Ar180shooter]

I call it "My M14" (because it's MINE!!! )

 

[munroe]

lonely green thing in the safe at the moment, until sunday at least

 

[chemo]

i call it PITA, cause I could never get it to shoot under 1.1''

 

[ton45-II]

"Meibelle" for her.

 

[paulz]

I call my USGI clone with the Boyds stock "Pvt Pyle" to differentiate it from the chopped green pistol grip stocked one, which I haven't named, Originally it was "the one in 'private Pyle configuration", but it shortened to "Pvt Pyle" and the name stuck. I don't have a name for any other of my firearms.

 

[TDC]

I'd say the only name that is true would be M305. Not many real M14's in country.

TDC

 

[srnm]

I call mine Laura-Lee after an ex, for some reason its extremely picky, and theres something wrong with it. I just dont know what it is.

 

[Rammer Jammer]

I thought far more of you would be giving your M14's a girl's name:

We even had to do this on my Basic for our C7's. Mine was named Holly.

Aren't you all "Full Metal Jacket" fans? I thought that was a prerequisite of owning one?

 

[miljew]

mine changes from "spring" for her being a Springfield, to "BB" for it being a big ##### with that troy chassis on her. depends how it treats me that day
