Don't you guys know nothin'? :lol:


Ok so this is not fair. If this is the Davy Crockett, one of the answers stated a rocket launcher so both answers should have been correct. And the Sam Colt one was a trick question designed to get a true gun nut to jump on the wrong answer. I am sure the phase that went through each of our heads was "God made man, Sam Colt made them equal" when we answered it.

The Emu one I will own. It was Aussie land so the lewis made the most sense.

28/30. Got Colt and dueling pistols wrong. I just plain guessed on Columbine and got lucky. I'd heard about the emus and the Davy Crockett previously.

This is more of a historical trivia quiz than a working knowledge quiz.

You guys are making me feel pretty froggy! 30-30, but had to guess on the Lewis and the Ford attempted assassination.

Dang flintlock dueling pistols!! From the way it was written, I thought it referred back to the previous question regarding the hand cannon and how that device was fired. Got the rest though and didn't have to guess- even on the emus though it would have been tougher if they would have had "Smelly" as a choice.

With regards to dueling, it's when you go from half-shot to fully shot.
