It's a smith & wesson thing, you wouldn't understand ;)

Just mimicking the Jeep slogan.

Actually, I don't really "collect" guns. I just like shooting them, and some 
guns shoot differently. Sometimes you want to plink at tin cans along the 
river. Sometimes you want to see if you can hit a half-dollar at 100 yards. 
Sometimes you just want to empty a 100 shot clip in 60 seconds for the 
thrill of it.

Actually though, having a lot of guns is kinda like having a lot of 
computers. One model introduced this new graphics technology, one model is 
fun because of the blinking lights. Another is fun cause it has a neato 
compiler on it. Nothing different really than the motivation for guns.
