Fully agree.

And, don't take young Tinners TOO seriously regarding this matter. He likes a bit of banter and jest, y'know. And I have seen him concede that they are, indeed, excellent rifles. He just has an issue with the looks, that's it. And, as we all know, looks are very subjective and personal.

He did once tell us why he has this historical hatred for them, but I really can't remember what reason he gave us.
