The Ugliest gun I've EVER seen...

[TOU]

Slight thread high jack...or deviation

No, TOU, those are very nice in my opinion. Some very nice wood grain is showing through on numbers 2 and 3. Then again, I favor well blued steel and wood grain.

I'm with you and a huge fan of old world steel & wood...especially Old World Czech arms "from a by gone era".

I think they're pretty cool, got any info on em?

Gentleman, I would have to agree that these are not ugly as much as they are quite odd. In many ways they are kind of neat even...if not aesthetic. Heck, they kind of even and grow on you after a while.

Made in Czechoslovakia shortly after WWII. Single Shot, tip up, cocking knob and adjustable front sight.

From what a good Czech friend of mine tells me, a couple of them are single shot Brno PAV Target Pistol's in .22LR of an early 50's vintage. The PAV Series were named after a Brno designer named Pavlicek. Apparently they were made in a very small quantity and are extremely rare to begin with. Unfortunately they were never imported into the US due to failed ATF drop test results.

The top one is also some how related and have seen it also called a PAV...but one gentleman says this about it:

it was a first Drulov target pistol designed and manufactured shortly after the World War Two. The pistol was designed by Pavlicek and was manufactured by Drulov (actually, Lidove Druzstvo Puskaru 'Lov') in Litomysl. This particular pistol was manufactured in 1950 as indicated by markings on the barrel and receiver. The pistol features a simple, drop-barrel single shot action. Original one-piece hardwood grip with diamond checkering. The front sight is dovetailed in the muzzle. Non-adjustable rear sight.

Here is an Italian sight with lots of pictures.

That's about all I know...not much. And yes, they really aren't so bad. ...especially compared to some of these other...things.

Drulov's are cool. Now I want one
Too bad they don't have threaded barrels so you could attach suppressors on it, then it would be REALLY quite.

This isn't ugly.

 

[oz_lowrider]

Sorry men, that didn't work.

 

[oz_lowrider]

Hope this works. As I said this isn't ugly but a lot don't like the hogsback stock.

 

[oz_lowrider]

Nah, I give up. Didn't work again.

Glock

Glock = shoe box with a handle.

All AKs...

but that is sort of the point isn't it? What other firearm is more recognized, hated and called ugly more than an AK? Also very functional. As much as I love AR-15s, they too are ugly.

 

[ol' scratch]

This one is pretty freakin UGLY too... LOL

That looks like an interesting zip gun. I sure would think it was ugly if I met up with the owner in an alley.

I love when he says, "I gotta an old cheap handle and super-glued and zip tied her on (chuckle)."

RE: the Dardick, post #17.

I've always wanted one of those. Not because I think they are pretty, they're not. Not to shoot, ammo's almost impossible to get :banghead:, I say almost because my cartridge collector dad has quite a few "trounds" in his (now my) collection. I always wanted this unusual gun to go with the very unusual cartridges.

OK, it's a SQUIRT gun, but it's still pretty ugly....and disturbing.....

 

[hadmanysons]

For the win!

 

[TOU]

NO QUESTION...that one takes the cake in my book...the pink cake.

I hate it when they ruin guns like that

 

[juniustaylor]

I don't know, the superman squirt gun wins over the pink AR hands down. It is creepy. I have a Hi-Point .40. I think it is a fine gun and enjoy it. It has been very accurate for me. Hedgeball at 55 yards, 4 shots. First 3 were within a couple inches, the 4th demolished it. I think that's a decent shot for a cheapo handgun. I really don't find it that ugly.

The Mauser C-96 is pretty ugly though, as well as that FN PS90.

@Firearms Enthusiast
I read the blog of the guy that made that gun. He lives in Cali, it was for his wife, and it was a political statement about black rifles. It's a featureless gun, so it can use detachable mags.

That double triggered thing with the LEDs, it's not real. It's a movie prop from "Blade Runner". Deckard's side arm. See post #67

Are you kidding Smith?

That fish-gun is AWESOME!

That fish-gun is AWESOME!

I think it's awesome too, I wonder where the spring for the hammer is

 

[FirearmsEnthusiast]

I think the trigger guard makes this gun look ugly, otherwise it would be super awesome looking.

 

[FIVETWOSEVEN]

Looks like some Smith and Wesson semi autos.
