Ladies and Gentlemen...may I introduce the ugliest pistol on earth...

[orangeninja]

distributed by an equally ugly company.... :evil:

A Thompson Center it is not....

BTW...it's an EAA

[chris in va]

Looks more like a retro paintball gun.

[KaceCoyote]

Thats the funky pistol with the M1911 frame, right?

[Spieler]

I've seen worse...I think.

[C-grunt]

" Phased Plasma rifle in the 40 watt range"

[dk-corriveau]

Please, I've seen much uglier! :what: :D

[AirForceShooter]

looks kind of cool to me.

AFS

[aircarver]

Not as bad as a Nambu.......

[Werewolf]

Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

Looks pretty cool to me!

[porterdog]

Spacegun!

[Crosshair]

I have come to kick a$$ and chew gum, and I'm all out of gum. :evil:

[Warren]

I'm thor just thinking about it.

[Arch]

I think that if I were interested in that sector of the market, I would go for something a little more refined, like a Thompson Contender, S&W X-Frame, BFR, or even a bolt action pistol.

But that's the cool thing about guns, the diversity, and all the different solutions to the same problem.

Oh, and your right, it's bloody ugly.

[horge]

Eeeee, alduro.
That thing makes the IMI SP21 Barak look like a supermodel.



.

[GroovedG19]

Its not that bad. :)

[Old Fuff]

I made a muzzle-loading black powder conversion on a 1911 frame once that looked much the same. Shot O.K. though, and that's what mattered ... :evil:

[orangeninja]

I wonder if I can mount a tactical light to the front of that thing? :neener:

[Yardstick]

If there's a cycling slide on that thing I'd be worried about hammer bite! Take a look at that thing!! It'd be like some wierd bird beak trying to bite you! :what:

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beer holder...

[Erinyes]

I actually think it looks kind of cool in a sci-fi-esque sort of way. The more important questions are, how does it shoot and where can I get it. :D

Now for ugly, I second the Nambu...

[Crosshair]

Kinda reminds me of the "caster shells" from the Anime series "Outlaw Star" :D

[45R]

I think these two guns are running for the competition of ugly wanna be 1911. This is gov model what was chopped at both ends. Its a face only a mother could love. Owned and operated by THR's very Tactical Andrew Wyatt.

[Vitamin G]

I'm pretty certain that "THOR" is a 45-70 :D


P.S. Glock is uglier...

[Pietro Beretta]

You know that DOES look like a Paintball gun.

It looks like one of those "EDGE" paintball guns. (This was a HEAVY crap, Paintball gun that wasnt produced that long)

[Standing Wolf]

Even its mother couldn't love it.

[Shootcraps]

I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread. Now I'm gonna have nightmares. :eek:

[Borachon]

:barf:


It's not Boo Radley ugly...but pretty darn close.

[CAnnoneer]

I would be happy to relieve you of such gun fashion faux pass. Just send it to me at once, and, oh, with all its ammo. :D

[Dionysusigma]

I like it. Just add EoTech. :)

[XLMiguel]

Well, as a 'pistol' it is most ungainly. However, if one expands the category to 'hand cannon, the Thor is sort of quintessentional, eh

It has its place, but not at my house.

[SDC]

If memory serves, Springfield Armory sold that unit as a conversion kit called the "SASS" (Springfield Armory Single-Shot) before EAA bought the design; compared to a Type 94, though, it's positively BEAUTIFUL.

Glock and Hi-Point still rule the ugly gun scene.

The beauty (no pun intended) of rifle caliber single shot handguns is that they need only be functional, because there is no way to make them pretty.

I dunno, T/Cs are pretty nice looking, IMO.

Told you I'd seen worse:

[Erinyes]

Told you I'd seen worse:

*snip image*Okay, that wins hands down.

[orangeninja]

that can't be real..What is it?

[Warren]

Dardick revolver.

The rounds fed from the grip into the cylinder.

[Kurush]

The Dardick 1100 wins, but here's a couple more atrocities just in case anyone's eyes haven't burnt out yet:

Having wanted a Springfield SASS or Clerke Xtender in the past (but too late to buy them), I think I'll give the EAA Thor a try (.308) if it comes with a bull barrel. Got a couple 1911 frames not doing much (one will get a Marvel).

[Jamie C.]

Dardick revolver.

The rounds fed from the grip into the cylinder.

The Dardick didn't fire rounds, it fired "trounds".... the cartridges were triangular. They were fed up from the magazine/grip area into what amounted to an "open" cylinder... ( Imagine taking an ordinary revolver cylinder and cutting the center out of it at the chamber webs, then sticking that into a round housing.... it's pretty much the same operating principle )

Anyway, yes, the Dardick is/was quite real, and certainly more than a little ugly.

[krochus]

I believe that is EAA's new singleshot.

[The_Antibubba]

I believe these Russian revolvers are uglier-not that I wouldn't take one, though.

[Warren]

I want one of those.

Are they prototypes? In production? How about some more info?

[james481]

Wow, website says MSRP is just short of $1100! You can get a new contender and a few barrels, a scope, plus ammo for that kind of price! How on earth could a single shot cost $1100?!?

[The_Antibubba]

H2L,

http://home.tula.net/tularms/indexen.htm Go to the Products page.

The little one shoots .380.

Yes, THAT Tula arms. :cool:

Check out the folding submachine gun!


****
Just worked out the metrics-that's a .50!! :what:

[TimboKhan]

Nice Duke Nukem qoute, crosshair. Gamer Nerds, Unite!

[absolute0]

Kinda looks like a 1911 that tried to swallow an M1 Grease Gun but couldn't quite pull it off....
