I'm stroingly in favor of Quaker Guns, tho' I've just learned of them. They seem less expensive to manufacture, to maintain, and are probably less harmful overall.
Might be obvious, but “less harmful” is why it’s called a “Quaker” gun!
The name derives from the Religious Society of Friends or "Quakers", who have traditionally held a religious opposition to war and violence in the Peace Testimony.
From Wikipedia, which also has a different photo where they’re even more obviously logs!
I've known plenty of Quakers over the years. Prolly the one I knew earliest was my boss back in High School/ Undergrad. Fine folk as far as I can tell. Anyway, yes, I get the pun, but others might not.
Weirdly enough they have a terrible track record with the American presidency. The only one was Nixon
They even have a flared base.
Well, they can't actually fire, so definitely a lot less harmful.
Splinters are the worst tho. I’d rather me leg blown off.
I had no idea.
