Hello all,
Well, I reckon it is time I joined. I have all the dvd's loaded in my multi disk player and will just let them run randomly non stop. Love the show, Love the movie, Love Joss for brining it all to life! The two things I love best rolled into one, the future and the past. I love guns also, would love to have Mal's, or know what they used to make it.
Well, time to go for now, I'll be back!

Welcome to the group! If you get the Firefly Official Companion Vol. 1 (book by Joss..I think) it has all the info on how they made Mal's gun. I would go and get it now and let you know but it is in my truck and the hubby took it hunting. Sorry!

Welcome home, #24509 on our fine and shiny
crew. Have a strawberry and a glug of
Mudder's Milk before you stash your stuff
in the bay.

There's a buffet to question in the galley
(yep, up those airy stairs unless we show
you the elevator) and lots of discussion,
fun and games to be had all over the ship.

No doubt the mongers of virtual browncoats
will be around to fit you with your very
own -- wear it in good health.

Spread the Firefly love far and wide.

Welcome, WheelgunGunslinger. Glad to have you with us aboard this shiny boat.

You may be interested to know that there is a replica of Mal's gun (movie version) available from a company called QuantumMechanix (I think that's the right spelling). Unfortunately it doesn't shoot anything, but then it's a bit safer to have around that way.

Edit: yep, that's right: http://www.quantummechanix.com/

I'm pointin' right at it!

Hello and Welcome WheelgunGunslinger!! (Do you mind if I just call you WG?) I do hope you feel as at home as I do here - there are folk from all over the 'verse and lots of fun to be had!!

You are not the only one to lust after Mal's gun and I have seen some pretty shiny replicas out there!! I would like one of Nandi's myownself - but being from Australia there is no way I can own one...

Pop in to the threads and chip in when you wish to - the people here are friendly and love to answer questions - we're all browncoats so you are with family now!!

Have fun and I hope to see you around...

Welcome WG... yeah, we're all likely to call you that... nicks get shortened all the time here. LOL

We're glad you're here! Very shiny that you like Mal's gun. Lots of folks do.

I met a Browncoat who had it tatooed on her. Very cool!

As you can see, folks round here are friendly and if we're not feeding you, we're giving you 'coats to keep you warm. That's what I do.. I'm the supply clerk around here and I hand out virtual browncoats to new folks who join our crew.

*hands WG a browncoat that fits just right*

Join in the discussions often.. go easy on the mudder's milk... it's pretty potent.. and have fun.

Oh, and spread the word about Firefly and Serenity and let others find out how much they want to be Browncoats too.

There's lots of guerilla marketing ideas floating about .. join in if you'd like.. we'd love to have the help.

Ask me how to join The Appreciatin' Nathan Crew!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! A good night sleep and a long slow slip of Mudders does a body good.
Debb, I hope your man get's a good one so as you might be feasting for a while.

Strawberry's? Yum! Hope to eat like this more often, then not at all. I do apprcieate the links so as I might find my way round and get aquainted. Looking forward to reading my copy of the Firefly companion when it arrives.

Well, anyone needing any extra chores done or such, you just let me know, never liked sittin still to long. Thank you all again.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Wg is fine by my ownself, I's answer to Gunner also.
Mal's gun is somethin I always fancied. Nandi's got some real lookers as well, wouldn't push those aside.
I live in the USA, New England, state of Connecticut to be exact. Having the abilty to own a handgun here is a freedom I relesh and thank my founding fathers for letting me have the right to.
Australia is a wonderous land and couldn't say nothin bad bout it's people and it's traditions.
Very sorry for the passing of a good solider, Mr. Irwin. Very likable and very good cause he sought after. (Wonder if he would have fancied himself to be a Browncoat?)

Welcome aboard! As for a Mal's gun, I don't have a actual replica of that, but I bought a Uberti 1858 Remington whihc has an octagonal barrel and fires .44-cal. lead round balls w/ black powder. Uses percussion caps. Great fun! Always gets noticed at the shootin' range everytime I go. Check out this website for the best priced cap & ball revolvers & sundries:
