View Full Version : Do you know these people?
Let's play a game.
Here are some pictures of some famous people from the world of firearms.
Can you name them?
(Hint- #7 and #8 kind of go together)

Nine seemed like an odd number so I added a tenth famous person for extra credit. He isn't a firearm person so best of luck to you.

7&8 are Smith & Wesson, at least #8 is Daniel Wesson.

4 is Mr. AK himself!
I'll leave the rest to others...

Yep.
Right again. [Awesom]

#6 is ... crap you beat me to it... AKA Bill Ruger.
Man, you guys are good.
And, yes, #10 is William S. Harley. [Awesom]
#4 is the only one I instantly knew, just because he didn't look European like the others. I guessed 7 & 8 because of the way that you gave the hint. I have a feeling I could just start listing names and probably name the others by chance. #10 looks familiar, but I can't put a name on it. I'm no history buff.
It's all just for fun.
I was bored. [Coffee]
