Collective Nouns

[pmh]

Bernard asked a very interesting question regarding collective nouns for airgun pellet tins.

I have checked online, but nothing has come up.

As such, I think we should come up with or own.

So, we need suggestions for collectors of:-

Pellet tins, boxes and packaging;

Air pistols (and rifles I suppose);

Airgun accessories;

Anything else you can think of;

Kind regards,



Phil

Temptation get thee behind me,    :twisted:

I seem to remember that on one of these antique/ collector programs a visit was made to a collector of packaging  and  a name was given to such a collector.

Seems pretty normal compared to some of these fellows

Hi

Well its a

battery of guns
hail of bullets
brace of pistols

so how about ...

a mine of pellet tins  or
a rattle of pellet tins
a stack of boxes
a range of rifles
a shed load of packaging

I think the term to cover them all is Airgunophile

I think a "rattle" is a very good noun for a collection of pellet tins.
