I always liked how the pommy grunts called their rifles "shooters" - pronounced "shoe-ah".
But yeah it was a cardinal sin to call your rifle a 'gun'. or refer to an assault rifle (semi auto or fully auto) as a machine gun. Tell me you're a civvy without telling me hahaha

Yep. William is right. People who call a carbine a bushpig are the same kind of retrobates who call deer "donks". Fuckwits, I mean.

I thought it was quite common for Sika hunters to call them 'donks' or 'donkeys' due to their roar.

no calling deer donks goes way back more about the ears dont use the term myself

I have no idea what a "retrobate" is. Google didnt either.
Are you coming up with a new name for people like you that keep using retro names for modern items that dont quite fit the original definition?

retrobates is actually reprobate a great term has a variety of meanings but fuckwit halfwit idiot moron sums them all up in one word but I think many confuse it

What does it mean if someone is a reprobate?
a depraved, unprincipled, or wicked person: a drunken reprobate. Synonyms: cad, rascal, wretch, miscreant, wastrel, scoundrel, tramp, rogue. a person rejected by God and beyond hope of salvation.

Bushpig? Carbeen? Carbine?
Super bush pig?

I'm with you William.
Bush pig has always been a derogatory term.
Another one that really grates me is "indicator dog".
I've had a number of dogs which were/are very useful for finding deer. But I have yet to see one that starts flashing orange when they find one.
And apparently you can now get your indicator dog blueprinted.
What a circus.

To 'indicate' is to 'point', but the gun dog lobby would be pissed that I called my crossbreed mutt a pointer.

Well I'm familiar with "reprobates", I just thought Mister Dux had coined an excellent term for the backwards ones amongst us lol

yes he may well have coined a new phrase lets see if it sticks

I invented it so I get to make the definition. A retrobate, is someone who annoyingly uses old rifles like .303's and BSA Majestics, wears wool, and most annoyingly will not shoot deer at long range and pretends to not know what a ballistic co-efficient is. Then when he shoots them at short range in the bush, gets pissed when people say his rifle is a bushpig, just because its a CARBINE.

Nah, a bushpig is a fugly chic you wake up next to after a night's heavy drinking. Those rifle remains you've posted can only be defined as "bubba'd fuck up"
