Monkey Gun

[cuteasaurus]

On a totally unrelated note: Monkey Gun...why is it called that? Neither the gun, nor the operator is in fact a monkey.

Well crap...I've answered my own question. Not nearly as cool as I had hoped. Monkeys WITH guns on the other hand...

I was imagining a gun that fired Monkeys as the actual projectile in the weapon. In essence, a gun that fires primate bullets. How cool would that be?

 

[cuteasaurus]

Very cool. Even neater would be the idea of a projectile throwing a projectile since monkeys are known to throw feces...

 

[AIM-54]

The science nerd inside me thinks that's a cool experiment. But projectiles are inherently cool. Particularly those of the 5.56, 7.62, .50, and especially those of the 120mm variety.

But I digress.
