I was talking to my friend the bouncer about weapons. He watched Lord of War last night and is today entertaining delusions of grandeur by wanting to become an arms dealer. Funny guy. But talk turned to various arms, and he mentioned that he'd love to get a shotgun to open doors with 'cause he's always losing his keys. One thing led to another and we discussed various firearms that we liked.

I've had some experience with various military firearms, due to my time in the Australian Army Reserves, and I had the opportunity to learn a lot about military firearms. What I learnt was that they kill. Very efficiently. This method of killing was something that turned me off wanting to join the regular army, as I learnt that I didn't want to kill or be killed. I would if I had to, but I didn't want to choose to. But during my learnings, I discovered that I appreciated the artistic beauty of military firearms.

How can they be beautiful, I hear you ask? They're weapons of death!

Certainly. But have a look at this.


Is that not a beautiful work of art?
