    Shotgun pistol with 2 shells, better call it the "Cobain", or the "Nirvana" shotgun. Not making fun of a great artist here, but rather wanting something named after him.

    I'm Russian and I hate the SMG2.

    The SMG3 isn't here anymore, but I'm naming it after me for the heck of it.

    Generally I like the whole naming idea, but if you're not a playtester or developer (or moderator), I doubt you'd be able to get a name because in the end you weren't as important to Empires as all the ones who ended up creating it.

    personally, I think naming the BEAR grizzly is better than naming the shotgun pistol grizzly...

    Yes, yes I know. :p

    I can just imagine William Shatner saying the WAR-FL:

    Warhead *long pause* Accurate *long pause* Ranged *long pause* FRONT-LOADING! :D

    I did have a good reason for calling it the WarFle though. :cry:

    i like the idea of giving the weapons finally proper names.
    i thought of names that are easy and used by the soldiers, and not by the disign geeks in the factory. no, by grizzly i meand the animal. not the mapper.

    I suggest to look through the slang of the players and name the weapons that way. No fancy "no one will use" names D:

    I'm in favour of an easter egg in which all the weapons names become replaced with either dev, religous or comic/cartoon related. THE JESUS CANNON, something to do with captain planet, etc. etc.
