Gun With the Highest "Cool Factor"

[Bubbles]

M2. We pull that off the truck and put it on the tripod, and everyone comes over to drool.

 

[The-Reaver]

You took it from me. Post #9
Only one known to exist due to the other being destroyed in testing.
Luger serno #2 .45 ACP

Cool!

 

[Corpral_Agarn]

I think the old 30-40 Krag Jorgensen is just super cool...
... but then there's the M1 Garand which is just awesome by definition!
Its one of those!

 

[Quoheleth]

"Quigley" 1874 Sharps. While the .45-110 would just be awesome, I would settle for .45-70.

[Mp7]

hm...

1st Thought
C96 Broomhandle Mauser
... the i thought Luger 08.

looking at my forum-handle i remembered the
Mp7.


But from all guns i`ve ever seen on here.
this 50. Alaskan Lever custom gets me drooling so bad.
(not my pic - couldnt find thread, but THAT on it is.)

Colt Walker

 

[The_Next_Generation]

Can't make up my mind between any pre-1950s pump action 12ga, or a good 'ol lever action in 45-70..

I once handled an SKS at a show that had Cryllic writing carved into it and seven notches neatly placed along the right side of the buttstock. I'll assume its owner was a lefty. Coolest gun I've seen so far.

The Intimidator

Go from this...



... to this ...



... to this 45 cal muzzle loader; complete with three black powder pellets, primers, bullets, and the tools to put it all together.



No, it's not very practical. But it is pretty cool.

 

[barnbwt]

What's intimidating is knowing your boss' 40lb paperweight contains a slumbering 45 muzzle loader waiting to go "transformer"...

Best joke I can think of for that thing is:
"TIME! Okay, not too bad. Once more; this time with blindfold"

I've seen that guy's website before; cool stuff, and way too much CNC time on his hands

TCB

 

[Trent]

Dude, that gun makes my head hurt.

 

[VPLthrneck]

They might be old, but I think they are still coll:

Spencer .56-50


and the Paterson Colt

"Cool factor" depends upon context. "Cool" in a practical carbine course could be an SBR AR-15 with a can and a bunch of great accessories. In a long range course it could be an Accuracy International rifle with Swarovski scope. At a Cowboy Action match, a "cool" gun would be an actual Colt revolver built before 1900.

 

[thegiff]

ARES FMG, a folding 9mm machinegun. Can be seen in robocop 2.

 

[shep854]

When I was a kid, 'Cool' was a 'snub-nose .38'.
Now, it's a close trifecta between the snub, a S&W model 10 (4in light barrel) and Colt's Government Model.

 

[cooldude14]

Winchester 95 Military models, its odd and cool at the same time to have a lever gun in military configuration.

 

[Tcruse]

+1 for Glock 9mm (GLock 18 ?)

 

[pikid89]

Ruger MP9


M1941 Johnson Rifle


and

M1941 Johnson Machine Gun, used by the WWII precursor to todays Special Forces

 

[MistWolf]

One of the coolest if not thee coolest is this Para FAL
View attachment 645642
because it's a one of a kind built by yours truly. One of my favorite rifles to shoot

 

[wgsigs]

Here's one of my choices that I don't believe has been mentioned yet.
AMT .44 Auto Mag

 

[psyfly]

I'm a sucker for a cool Girl Gun:

 

[H4897]

The Gyrojet is a family of unique firearms developed in the 1960s named for the method of gyroscopically stabilizing its projectiles. Rather than inert bullets, Gyrojets fire small rockets called Microjets which have little recoil and do not require a heavy barrel to resist the pressure of the combustion gases. Velocity on leaving the tube was very low, but increased to around 1,250 feet per second (380 m/s) at 30 feet (9.1 m). The result is a very lightweight weapon. However Versions of the Gyrojet that were tested suffered from poor accuracy, cumbersome and slow loading, and unreliability (at best, a 1% failure rate was suggested; users quote worse figures, with many rounds that misfired the first time but later fired). I'd still like to have one just kuz

 

[Alnamvet68]

Colt 1911's; the very definition of cool.

 

[Kyle M.]

The Sharps BP or cartridge either one. The luger and c96 mauser are close behind though.
