“That night the cosmonauts invited me to a dinner. There was much toasting going on. No women-this was a stag affair, so Valentina was not there. They presented me a very nice shotgun inscribed with my name on the stock-a twelve-gauge double-barrel side-by-side that the U.S. government permitted me to keep.” - Neil Armstrong

Fun fact:
The Russians routinely carried shotguns with them into space right up until 2006 and they STILL bring a pistol with them:
Get that fucking moon walker a shotgun. Moon walkers love shotguns. That’s so deliciously an American stereotype and I love it.
