why is the letter /k/ assigned to the weapons board?

Because /w/ was already something else.

>>28048351
It looks like an AK. But probably because /w/ was already anime wallpapers and there wasn't many 2 letter boards at the time

>>28048351

Newfags have no idea, wannabe oldfags say /k/usanagi, real oldfags know it's because k looks like a gun.

/k/ is for /k/orbo

>>28048351
It's because the letter "k" looks somewhat like a gun. You've got your barrel, stock, pistol grip, and magazine.
