Are we "Sixgunners" or "Sixshooters"?

When referencing this group, I tend to call us "Sixgunners" which is probably technically incorrect in the sense that it is the Frontier Sixshooter CMB.

What say ye?

Thanks!

SIXGUNNERS ARE PEOPLE; SIX-SHOOTERS ARE GUNS

Precisely! (nm)

That settles that.

It's the answer I was hoping to hear.

If you take a look at http://sixgunnercommunity.com you'll find that it was registered before sixshootercommunity.com. WAAAY back when the original sixgunner site changed hands the former owner advised me it would be better to not make waves or seem to be trying to compete. The idea was to have a "gateway" site for the old "Gord Board". Gord's original name for the board he set up was the Frontier Sixshooter or Frontier Sixshooter Community or something like that. I put up the original gateway and used the current designation. But over the years we've always referred to ourselves as "sixgunners", as in Confederate Sixgunners, North Wet Sixgunners, etc. As noted above, sixgunners are people, sixshooters are tools. The Frontier Sixshooter monicker is from the old Peacemakers that were so marked.

Some of us shoot five shot handgun`s too

The people who still have ammo can be called "shooters". The other people just get to look at them.

Are you tryin'.....

I have a little project in mind and wanted to make sure of the nomenclature.
