Alright folks, we all know how Shadowrunners love their weapons, and some even give them names.
What names has your group been blessed with?

The only character of mine to have named weapons used a pair of heavily modded Rugar Thunderbolts called Enlil & Thor.

SR3 Dikote Pole-Arm, STR+4D Weapon swung by STR 16 Troll . . the pole.arm got dubbed tooth-pick for some reason . .
other Troll, STR16 too, titanium bone lace . . left hand called right and right hand called left . . yeah, got confused from time to time ^^
the one time another troll actually managed to get his hands on a vindicator minigun, he named it reason . . EVERYBODY LISTENS TO REASON!
no, never did actually shoot it, but in a serious negotiation where intimidation was deemed neccessary, the sound of the gun gaining speed was enough to win ^^
the one time i played an ork, a shotunwas called boostick due to me having watched army of darkness the day before *g*
as you probably gathered by now, i usually don't name my weapons O.o

Ah but weren't they described as slivers (Cant find by book atm and the audio book I've got is hard to scan) still it was awesome somthing made me thing Raven (or someone) could Crack OSs as both the bike and raven snowed on them. Man I want to make Raven as a prime runner now "no can kill he got a nuke in his side car". My palyers would cry with him on there backs but the knives are a pain to stat his mono-glass knives. That book was made for pure coolness factor not logic.

In my current SR group, the gunbadger ("gunbunny" just doesn't convey enough menace) has a H&K XM30 that he is very fond of. He named it Vera.
We bought him a personality module for it.
Without telling him beforehand.
He was so happy when Vera started talking back to him.
Kudos to David's excellent RPing of the incident. <golf clap>

Just bond a thin layer of steel foil to the outside of the bullet.
I think RL railgun researchers are using carbon fiber sabots, because carbon is conductive in the right circumstances.
Reason is no more miraculous of an achievement than the Rat Things. Both presume an amazingly compact nuclear power system. You only have waste heat issues...
A railgun that doesn't' have rail erosion problems is actually slightly more impressive than the power issue to me.

Never had a character that named his guns. Not even the weapon specialist, to him guns were just tools, interchangeable depending on the situation and availability.
Now it's rare that a Rigger is ever in an unnamed vehicle, they always named their vehicles. My Rigger characters are as follows.
Jimmy Leadfoot:
-Little Big Jim (a GMC Jimmy with armor, speed and power to spare, but only heavy pistols in a turret for weapons)
-The Bitch (an armored and armed Americar taxi, the everyday driving workhorse car)
-Slick (Ford Mustang Turbo, light-armored fast stealth car, with a concealed popup Ares Alpha for added punch)
Commodore Jones:
-The Hummingbirds (3 micro-spy steath rotodrones)
-Mutt (MCT rotodrone so heavily modified you almost couldn't tell what it originally was, had stats like a Strato-9)
-Fatboy(Sensor enhanced Condor LDSD-41 mini blimp, "Don't worry I got Fatboy watching him")
-Sonic (Aztech Hedgehog, never got used)
-Hellcat (speed enhanced Steel Lynx w/assult rifle, grenade launcher and rocket launcher)
-Screaming Mimi (Wandjina with a vindicator and maxed out missile payload)
Jackrabbit Slim: Had a fleet of custom modified CN Jackrabbits,
-Jackalope (fast and moderately armed)
-Pooka (stealth car, ruthenium paint and electronic deception)
-Inlay (quick, armored and armed w/assault rifle and grenade launcher)
-March Hare (an experiment in vehicular insanity, a Jackrabbit that could go 300 mph!)
-White Rabbit (the Jackrabbit version of 007's submarine-car)
