: it is a rifle.
Looks garbled , messed up , out of sync..
The reason for this is that you have used the font called Arial to draw this.
Arial is a proportional font .. which means that not all characters are of equal
width. This causes problems when displayed on a computer which does'nt have the
exact same font or newsreader.
Therefore all ASCII images are drawn in a fixed-width font (like courier or
courier-new) because even if displayed on a different computer with a different
fixed-width font, the image will look much the same - Besides it's easier to
draw an ASCII if you are sure the characters are of equal width.
I redoddled you image in courier-new .. now it looks like this.
(remember to read it with a fixed-width font)
______0_________________8 8

{| ____|_________|========|=====| ==|=======>

Nice .. try to do some more using fixed-width fonts.
TIP : In my opinion the best ASCII's are the funny and cute ones .. they are
always very popular .. weapons of massdestruction are not at the top of the
wishlist .. but ofcourse anyone can draw anything they'd like.
