Is it just me or does anyone else think that Eli Whitneys Talo Colt should have been named something way cooler like The Cotton Slayer? Just saying, missed opportunity there.

The Cotton Slayer sounds a bit too dramatic for a firearm name, dont you think? Eli Whitneys Talo Colt has a classic ring to it. Sometimes simplicity is key.

Sorry, but the Talo Colt revolutionized firearms technology. The cotton gin was important, but lets not downplay Whitneys impact. Both inventions deserve credit.
