How about a Gallery section? This Gallery forum could be divided into "hardware" and "range trips". I normally take alot of pics during each trip to the range.
Not a bad idea, except for bandwidth. Since lots of people here already have photo sites and link to them, why not just have a dedicated thread or subforum for what you said?
Subforum. You won't want to go through a 59,000 page thread to find something new or something you saw previously. I say subforum then you can have threads like - Show me your HD shotties, Show me your Sigs, Show me your.....well, you get the picture.
