How many guns do you think went down with the Titanic?

Friend of mine, a retired U.S. Navy officer, told of shooting clays from ship decks.

I have often contemplated the number of 1911 A1's that went down in sunk freighters. These firearms were typically packed in cosmoline in sealed drums. What a find that would be....

[greyman]

A boatload.

[Collects]

A boatload.

No, a shipload.

[StandingWolf]

All of them?

Ding-blast it, rhmc24, you beat me to it!

[charlene]

Too bad this one didn't go down...

Hey, isn't that guy the Reaper?? If he (or anyone) appeared in my presence with a weapon as ugly as that Picatinny Nightmare, I'm sure my inner gun-nut soul would immediately flee the building and seek refuge in Hell!

[what would you say]

wow. good spoof on another addiction, huh!

In Walter Lord´s book "The last night of the Titanic" the author narrates several histories from passengers that survived.

I remember one of a man who took only a few oranges and his handgun (I don´t remember if it was a revolver) before jumping into the cold sea.

Those passengers were rescued by RMS Carpathia if I remember correctly.
