Equine or instrument of destruction?

Equine or instrument of destruction?

Destiny is not just about shooting the crap out of aliens, armored rhino things, and man-spiders from space; you pick up a lot of stuff, too. Sometimes, you pick up unique, ultra-rare weapons that have some really creative names. Like, spent-a-whole-lot-of-time-thinking-about-this creative. Destiny's rare killing machines have names like Pocket Infinity or Super Good Advice--names that are suited to a 2-to-1 odds racehorse that you lose your last dime on at the track. Matter of fact, if you put the name of a Destiny gun right next to a racehorse's name, you can't tell the differennncc...Oooooh, I have an idea!

Wouldn't it be fun to mix up racehorse names and Destiny weapons and see if you, our faithful readers, can identify them correctly? Well, yeah. That's why I've gathered together some of history's great racing champions and the known weapons found in Destiny, then jumbled them all up in the following slides. Can you guess what name belongs to which group? Is it a racehorse or a gun? Place your bets.

Highlight the empty area under each name for the answer
