Hi screwguns,

A warm welcome to IFG! Do share your experiences and thoughts regularly.

welcome. Do you own any guns?

Welcome to IFG.

Do explain your handle. Does it mean "I love screw guns" or "Screw Guns"??

Regards

Taken from Rudyard Kiplings poem - Screw-guns
A few lines from the same -
..."For you all love the screw-guns -- the screw-guns they all love you!
So when we call round with a few guns,
o' course you will know what to do -- hoo! hoo! ""

Good lines indeed and welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard SG

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RML_2.5_inch_Mountain_Gun is the "screw gun" Kipling wrote about in his poem http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Screw-Guns

So when we call round with a few guns,
o' course you will know what to do — hoo! hoo!
Jest send in your Chief an' surrender —
it's worse if you fights or you runs:
You can go where you please, you can skid up the trees,
but you don't get away from the guns!

Very interesting.....

Here is an article (and pictures) that details the use of the Screw Gun in India
