Great macro

very nice shot

great shot, no pun intended,

Aw, not fair...............I used to shoot these and others in the UK many years ago, before the handgun laws were passed...........I miss mine ................and now I live here, the laws are the same...........no hand guns allowed...........

How about a picture of someone shooting the gun? Nice macro but it's a gun, not a hobby.

Lovely lighting, well done

The rules state it can be of the hobby itself, no need for a person shooting it.

Thank you for all the comments. Ade, thanks for the fav! Jawsh, there are many reasons people have guns. Some use them for sport, such as hunting,or competitions, some people collect guns and never fire them. They are worth more for resale value because of that. And the most common reason to have one is of course for protection. Just because I am not shooting my gun in this particular image does not mean it does not meet the guidelines. Guns are indeed a hobby of mine, and for all the reasons listed. Thank you again for the comments.

I couldn't decide between this hoby or my other hobby of cultivating deadly diseases

kyricom, you just kill me with your humour........lol

No need to get so gun ho and all fired up Joeshoewhah. Is there no entry in this contest that doesn't trigger a negative comment from you? Why don't you run along and have a game of Russian Roulette but make sure you play all six rounds. Top Gun shot author and well on theme

I don't personally care for guns and I think in my opinion a shot of you or someone shooting it would of been a better match to the theme.

I appreciate all the energy you have put into my entry Jawsh, both here and in the forums. I only wish I could actively post in the forums, but that is against the rules until the contest is over. Feel free to suggest a contest of your own. You have a lot of ideas. There is a link you can use to accomplish that........

Congrats

Interesting perspective

Love it!

You couldn't get much closer.

Stunning Image

Very nice.

Great shot, worth the climb

Well done.

This picture is badly out of focus in righ res. Also very hard to see the sun.
