"Weapon," you keep using that word.
I don't think it means what you think it means.
Find/hire someone at Massdrop that knows firearms to write the description. Please.
BallisticBurritoNot all firearms are weapons, so don't lump them into the same category. A rifle, pistol, or shotgun used for sporting purposes is not a weapon, it is by definition a firearm, or if you'd prefer, sporting arms.
NeWaVdubsThese bags seem tailored to hunting weapons, so I don't think they're out of line using that term. I'm not sure why it bothers you. While there certainly are uses for firearms that do not qualify as use as a weapon, I don't think there's any negative connotation (at least in my mind). I wouldn't have a problem with them calling a fixed blade hunting knife a weapon either. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but you're acting like they're calling guns "baby killers" or something like that and I just don't see it that way.
superkuperIf I pull out my knife, and use it to cut rope or paper or cardboard, then I'm using.. a knife.
If someone were to take that same knife from me and stab someone with it, then it would be a weapon.
I carry a knife with me every day, not a weapon.
If you ever find yourself being questioned by police while in possession of a firearm (or a knife, for that matter), you would be well advised NOT to use the term weapon to describe it. Because you would have _legally_ dug yourself into a deeper hole.
NeWaVdubsMy god, are you really this pedantic? I understand the difference, okay? The point is that there's nothing wrong with calling a firearm a weapon in the context of hunting which these are.
superkuperYes, yes he is.
He should talk to some military instructors. Even a .177 pellet air rifle used in high school rifle competitions are called weapons. Because they are.
NeWaVdubsphysical damage doesn't just pertain to damage done to a person or animal, it literally means damage done to a physical object. so yes, that includes targets. all firearms are weapons, as they have been designed to create physical damage, regardless of the intended target of that damage.
