Well, I guess I must have too much time on my hands.....???? But I thought I'd create a bit of a challenge for anyone who considers they know about guns. Open to ALL Forum members. 'Evil or Very Mad'
It's called "SEEING DOUBLE??"

Here are 9 photos taken from my collection.
Each one contains at least 1 Modelgun. The other could be a Denix, or a BB gun, or a Blank Firer or a Real gun.

CAN YOU TELL WHICH IS WHICH AND WHAT IT IS?
If you think you can tell then post your answers (if you can!) over the next two days.
All the correct answers will be placed into a hat and the winner drawn and their name posted on this thread.
I've allowed 2 days due to the differing time Zones members have.
(A Clue: all the guns have featured somewhere in one of my posts on this forum! So you DON'T need to be an expert already.) 'sunny'

List your answers in alpha-numerical order A to I.
Good Luck! 'cheers'

THE PHOTOS

Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? A1
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? B2
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? C3

Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? F6
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? G7
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? H8

(Well Ok, the last pic is seeing triple!)
'lol!'

Hope you enjoy the challenge!

Arrrg Hey Kiwi it's too hard for me...
I can only say what is revolver and what is pistol. Are you interested by my answers?? Laughing

Seriously, I'm not too expert. Maybe I know for the ppk and for the Beretta 92 but not sure.

It's a great idea anyway.

Wink

I'm waiting for the result.

Cerwyn - PM is the way to go!
I've had a number of replies so far.... and must admit they're very encouraging. 'Very Happy'

Ok Oz....PM me your list too and I'll check it ... hadn't thought of a prize other than the "kudos" of getting them all correct!
But maybe I can dig out something from my treasure trove if the winner wants to pay postage??? 'Exclamation'

Claymore - thanks for your post .... yes there's a few tricky items.....comes from my devious mind. 'Twisted Evil'
But all the guns are in previous posts so can be cross-checked. (My cunning way of getting my posts read!)
You can enter again if you like, now that there's no comparative list.

Momocampo - if you go to the members list, you can click on "view all posts" and see my ALL posts in order of the date posted! Come on, and see if you can work it out! 'study'

Everyone else: there's still 24 hours or so left.

OK ... to raise the anti.....there is now a prize: a reproduction Thompson M1A1 Kerr sling (winner to pay postage)! As shown in the Thompson photo above!
All the correct answers will be drawn from a hat by someone who is not interested in modelguns! So no favouritism!

All entrant's scores will be published along with the correct answers tomorrow. So get cracking! 'cheers'

I really don't know the answers, so I went with Cerwyn since I reckon he'd have the best chance of winning.
All I want is the money LOL!

lol! The truth is there are members here that have forgotten more about Model and Replica guns than I'll ever know Laughing

Thanks very much Kiwi for donating your Kerr replica sling as a prize Exclamation That's really kind of you Very Happy
Good Luck to all the entrants then, one of us is going to be having an early Christmas present bounce

This is a really good idea, we should try having Competitions like this again to have some fun.

THE RESULTS

Well Folks - thanks for all the entries and correspondence!

It wasn't an easy test - so many replicas exists out there - and very hard sometimes to tell the differences!
THERE WERE 5 ENTRANTS

Most of the entries identified all their I.D.'s correctly - but many left the ones they couldn't identify as empty spaces!

Only TWO people attempted ALL the answers.


Only ONE person identified them all correctly.

The correct answers TO ALL 21 GUNS are:

Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? A1Ans
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? B2Ans
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? C3Ans
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? D4Ans
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? E5Ans
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? F6Ans
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? G7Ans
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? H8Ans
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? I9Ans

So the winner wins this sling:
Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? THOMPSON_PARTS_3_001
M1A1 Thompson Kerr sling

and the Winner is:


DRUM ROLL


DRUM ROLL


DRUM ROLL


DRUM ROLL


DRUM ROLL


DRUM ROLL





Competition: Can you I.D. these guns? Guntrophyname



CONGRATULATIONS CERWYN!!!

AND WELL DONE TO SMOOTIK WHO SCORED 18 OUT OF 21 ! And Claymore a close 3rd!




I hope the exercise provided some fun for those who entered - and amusement for those who watched!

Congrats Cerwyn!

I knew by agreeing with his choice, I'd pretty much be on the ball.
Now how are you going to cut that sling in half and send it to me LOL?! Hahaha........

Shocked I won Question Blimey, I'm chuffed, that's made my day now Very Happy

Thank you very much Kiwi' Very Happy I must say that I did enjoy your ID competition very much, it certainly kept me amused and entertained for an hour or two.

It would be great if other Quizzes or Competitions appeared on the Forum from time to time. Something like this adds to the sense of Fun and enjoyment we get from our shared hobby and this Forum doesn't it Question Very Happy

Any ideas for more Competitions or Quizzes from anyone would be more than welcome cheers

Thank you again Kiwi' , hard luck Smootik and Claymore, Ozguns and the other contestant, maybe you'll win next time Wink

Hey Ozguns, that's the first time I've scored 100% at anything in years mate, I wouldn't guarantee peeking at my answers will give you more chance next time Laughing
