"Gunslinger".

I like it. A year or so back, the Powers That Be wouldn't have even given it a name, lest we offend one of the nations we would be shooting it at.

Honestly, I'm trying to think of a historical non-PC name for a missile. Closest I can get is Red Hebe, and even that's only problematic because of a tertiary meaning and was a terrible design which never entered service.

Oh, he's just gotta find, un-cap his EO pen...

I think we should bring back the Rainbow Codes. Nothing worse than Fox-3 being called as a brace of Blue Bunnies climb into the stratosphere.
