yeah right it is. It's the Yamato's guns ready to strike. Who needs machine guns if you get 50cm triple turrets.

No, this picture was more of an answer to the ID photos of some people on a student website I am in. Some people like to pose with guns, so I thought this might be a good response, because I don't like people standing around with guns for fun. Well I sometimes think it's because I am from a military family that I have a not so funny thinking of guns as other people do.

So, here it's the Yamato's guns answering the call to arms. Take that all you people posing with small arms. These babies are gonne blow yerr sky highhhhhh.

Yeah!

I can see taking pride in marksmanship or something like that, but guns aren't toys.

My paternal grandpa is ex-navy and my maternal grandpa and uncles enjoy hunting. I have a great deal of respect for weapons.

Though, personally, I prefer a katana or Celtic broadsword to a glot.

yeah, swords are nice. Long time ago I had lessons in swordfighting, somehow I miss it. Although I was better with a fighting stick, so many more nice moves you can make with it...

Yeah. I like the feel of them. I picked up a boken at the last convention I went to. Unfortunately, there aren't any sword lessons available in this are. ;.;

well, the basics aren't that difficult. but then, to me they were always a bit clumsy compared to a staff. The staff gives so many more possibilities, especially the ability to attack and defend at the same time. Something I really needed, because as I remember I was very terrible with a sword.

I can't say I'd be very good, either. The one thing I never could get with the staff, though, was holding it right. Somehow my knuckles kept getting rapped. >.< Just think what kind of klutz I'd be with a sword!
