If you Chose Other, Post which abbreviation. The other thread got locked, but this is solely for choosing it's official Abbreviation.

Who really cares people can say whatever they want! " Cough cough Buzzbee belt Blaster cough cough"

Official abbreviation? Holy shit! Did you even read my post? There is no committee that decides the official abbreviations for the blasters, nor is there a reason for anything official. Haven't you noticed that the only ones that have any sort of abbreviation have alot of mods for them?

There is no reason for this thread or poll at all. No one has even bought one yet, let alone modded one. I also don't see many people making such mods, rendering the need for an abbreviation pretty moot. I really doubt there will be a lot of topics about this blaster.

Besides, let's say that the poll shows option one to be the highest chosen option, who the fuck says we have to listen and use it? Not you, not anyone. The abbreviations that are used consistently are because they were used by others and they caught on. Nothing official.

Truly, I don't think I want to say "BuzzBee Belt Blaster" about 30 times in my write-up. Ok, so maybe it is'nt official, but the more voters, the more commonly used, and known about. Imagine this:

Thread 1:Mod the BBBBR!!!
Thread 2:I Mod the 4BR!!!!
Thread 3:Let's mod the Belt Blaster!!!!

And then you think that 3 new guns were made and you spaz out of your chair. It's just so people don't get confused. And the gun seems very Mod-able.

I voted for other. Because it doesn't matter what abreviation you use. As long as you know what it means that all that matter.

There have been very few effective an versatile mods of any BuzzBee blasters that use the shells. The Belt Blaster uses a 30-shot belt of the same types of shells found in the RFR and the DS, just configured differently. Therefore, I highly doubt there will be a lot of mods for this one.

Also to show the flaw in your example. If all three threads have pictures, there will be no confusion. Just be patient and wait for the mods to show up and see what they use, if anything, to shorten the description of the blaster. No need to be preemptive.

One other thing, I have never read a single writeup that had the name of the blaster or the established and commonly used (note that word, no mods means no usage yet for any abbreviation, so no need to waste everyone's time trying to officially decide on an abbreviation) abbreviation in the thread more than once or twice, usually at the beginning and the end of the first post of the topic.

Sawed Off, you have now posted approximately 4-5 threads in a couple of days, and approximately 3 were crap, and one was locked. Please stop Posting threads that add nothing to the forums but cyber "junk mail".

I don't think you should have a letter abbreviation, because there are to many "b" guns.
Just a thought.

There isn't a need for an acroynm, because this gun will be so rarely mentioned that an acroynm is pointless. There probably will only be one or two mods for this thing tops, and at that point we might as well type Buzzbee Belt Blaster. The only reason to ever give something an acroynm is because the phrase is too long to be used regularly without being a hassle.

You know why the SuperMaxx Buzzer Air Bazooka isn't called the SBAB? Because nobody cares enough about it to warrant an acronym. The same applies here.

If this thing ever gains any notoriety, then a suitable acronym will come into its own. No need for you to make some "official" naming poll, as if you had any authority to deem anything "official".
