My rifles would not have much to say regarding missed shots but my shotguns would have had their vocal cords ripped out pronto!
What I would love to hear from my rifles would be what they had done in their lifetimes. I have a couple dozen military rifles of various countries ranging from the mid-1890s through WWII that appear to have seen some service. Whether those dings were from combat or raw recruits fumbling them, the tales would be interesting.
Most of my sporting rifles are prior to 1950 and might have some good tales to tell. An 1876 Winchester would be my first pick but several other rifles may have seen more use. The drillings and especially a Cape Gun would be at the top of the list too, maybe I could finally identify what the rifle barrel is chambered in.
