Yea, the Bowie is very cool for slicing & dicing.
But, my favorite medium/short sword (which is what the Bowie is) is this one, the Roman Gladius.
It conquered the World

But me being Irish, this is what I would chose to use in battle :)

But, in reality, if/when I was/am stranded on a desert island, give me this, the Colt 1911 .45 Auto Hand Gun.
Nothing has, or will beat it for durability & effectiveness.
(fuck Glock/Sig Sauer/Beretta & 9mm in general)

Ok so bacon shortage to gun show and tell….cool! Bottom is 1910 25-20, second from bottom is my trusty 30-30. I have about 25 rifles and shotguns and 6 bows lol. The top one is a sweet little 22-250 that I reach out and pet coyotes with ;).View attachment 5004905
Beautiful guns
Very cool over/under, I always wanted one when I was into skeet/birds.
Also I admire your compound bow.
I used a PSE 45 lb, sitting in a cold fucking tree many a morning waiting & hoping.
I did make friends with this Red Squirrel though, but never even fired an arrow.
Still, very fond memories of that squirrel :)

Nice :)
Lower right side revolver with the octagon barrel, is that a ball & cap?
It is, isn't it.
How old is that fucker?
It is just an Italian repo, I think a 36 cal. I had a single shot black powder pistol that I sold to my brother thinking I could get something similar but nothing came up for sale. Oh well, we have not gone shooting for a while, may get back into it once he retires. You would really like his collection, about all I will say about it.

Never had the bucks to collect/spent it all on blow :)
I only have 2 rifles, a Sako (Finnish) .270 Win & an Israeli Arms (I know :( ) 10 round 38 Special/357 Magnum pump action "Camp" gun that separates at the stock so you can stick it into your backpack.
I used to go deep wood camping in the Adirondacks, NY where there were Black bear & degenerates, so I felt safer armed :)
I also have a 12 gauge Ithaca pump (who doesn't? ) with 3 barrels, 2 rifled for slugs (24" & 36") & 1- 42" regular barrel for bird/skeet.
No hand guns (don't like the law/permits/investigations/etc)
But I do have a Navy Colt .36 black powder revolver to play Civil War with :)
I got enough guns/ammo/bows/arrows/knives & shillelaghs to beat off those mutated Republican hordes that WILL NOT SURVIVE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T VACCINATE!!!!!
Really, I read/heard on Facebook that there is a new mutant strain that developed on the border of Mississippi & Louisiana.
They designated/named it the asshole strain.
For real
Google it
:)

I would like to bring my shotgun with me on my US trips but they frown on visitors bringing guns with them.

I actually started out deer hunting with a bow at 18 and have, up to 4-5 years ago got one every year. Only shot two with guns. Half my guns (l25-20) were inherited from my gramps and dad. Bought the over under for my daughter who uses it for pheasants. I spent a pile of my money on blow too :(. Not a great investment :( glad I was able to quit lol.

Tell me about it :)
If I had 1/2 the money I spent on cocaine from 1980-1983 I could buy an island in the Caribbean.
At that time good blow, not that shit cut with baby laxative, was $100 a gram/8 balls around $350 & me and my friends would do a LOT :)
Coke is a fucked up drug though, you think it's harmless (it ain't meth, so it's fine) but it will fry your brain.
I knew more than one person that ended up with mental disorders.
Nah, I saw what was going on and the high changed for me from being carefree to paranoia, so I quit & never looked back.
Some friends didn't & it did ruin them
Fucking sad :(.

I know a few people who lost everything (including their families) over the devil’s dandruff.

It sure makes you feel good about yourself, for a while anyway.
