It's not unusual for a man to bestow a beloved moniker on his favorite fishing rod (Bessie), his shiny truck (Ol' Red), his saber saw (Killer)-or his rifle. Even as far back as 1867, William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody was no exception. When he acquired his "new buffalo killer," a Springfield .50 caliber trapdoor needle gun, he christened it "Lucretia Borgia."
