DISCLAIMER No. 2!!: As much as it pains me to do this, there's always some nance out there who'll take offence -- all the guns which appear in these images are replicas which Laughing Monkey used as props for HAPPY EVER AFTER. On the subject of guns being neither big nor clever, we totally agree -- but they're great for comedy theatre ;-).
