We have all seen threads on beautiful firearms. Usually, you see a Beretta 9x series pistol, or a Sig Sauer P230/P232, or a dressed up Parker shotgun, top the list.

But what about Fugly firearms? I mean baby puke on a cracker, Fugly. I'm talking about a wart on a warthog, Fugly. I mean really, really, Fugly.

What is the Fugliest firearm you have ever seen? Your thoughts?

Hi Point....../thread

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This

Any Hi-Point handgun, and their first generation carbine, come readily to mind.

A vote for the Chiappa Rhino.

Besides the proverbial "Hi Point with Dollar Bill hydridipped finish" or "homemade zip shotgun made with pipes in a dude's basement" or "cobbled together prototype proof of concept" types of fugly, I've got a few classic mass-produced milsurp guns in mind that are fugly through their sheer design/layout:

Swiss Stg. 57 rifle:


Japanese Type 94 pistol:


Australian Owen SMG (the "baby poop" camo doesn't help here):


Italian Vetterli-Vitali rifle:



Austrian Roth-Steyr 1907 pistol:


French Chauchat machine gun:

Kel-Tec CP33 is now in the running.

me in 1989: "The Glock 17 is totally Ugly"

me in 2021: ~~just keeping my mouth shut~~

I'll just leave this right here...

Yep, that Rhino is right up there with the ugliest. For stupid firearm I'd nominate the "Lifecard" .22.

Hi Point wrapped in 100 dollar bills.

All others pale in comparison to this steaming pile...

For production, non-Bubba'd guns:

Various iterations of bullpups.

Pretty much any Webley revolver.

Back in the early 80's I picked up a shotgun from my brothers pawn shop.

It WAS a nice shotgun. It had been in a fire, and on one side the wood was singed pretty badly and the bluing was blistered off. It was Fugly.

The other side was pretty much normal, we figured it was probably propped up in a corner or along a wall and the fire was on one side, but not the other.

It was a Savage brand 20 gauge over/under that, at one time, was a very nice somewhat upper grade shotgun. It was actually made by Valmet, and I'm pretty sure that was made in Sweden.

That Fugly thing fit me like a dream, a perfect fit, and I just couldn't hardly miss with it. I busted a zillion clay pigeons with it.

Foolishly, I let it go to someone else years later. I regret that deed, I wish I still had it.

A LGS had the same gun, but in 12 gauge, a few years ago. I almost bought it, but didn't figuring I'd enjoy the 20 gauge better. I'm still looking for another.

The Gyrojet has to be a strong contender for the "honor." Don't have a picture handy, but this is the Internet, right?
