The point of the entire piece is to mock popular weapons/calibers that people DO like, and that people argue over. His approach is using hyperbole to make everyone's favorite weapon/caliber sound like crap. The key is this line right here:
Yeah. Looks like we don't have a sense of humor. Oh, well.

Why, don't take the lord's name in vain. Watch your language. And I think we're all adults here. I said it before that swears are justified if you are in that particular angry mood for it. Random swears for the same of adding spice to your writing doesnt mean you can swear a storm up.

To be honest, my use of the F-word was a bit gratuitous in that particular instance.

Anyway, Oliveira, I've said before that I don't have any moral objections to swearing per se. I swear all the time myself. However, I've told you before that what I object to, in YOUR case, is that you swear in ways that are hideously, embarrassingly awkward. If you're going to swear, you can at least do it like an adult, which means you do so sparingly enough for it to be effective. This is, after all, an adult site, so all I'm saying is, don't act like a kid.
