The Very Bad Gun Ideas Thread

[evan price]

How about a "punt gun"?? They really did exist.

Or just about anything with "...a shoulder thing that goes up..."

I have a problem with those really expensive, custom built, super accurate sniper rifles with the built in, vibrating shoulder messager in the butt plate.

It feels good, but damned if it doesn't put me to sleep.

Ah, that picture (post # 76) brings back fond thoughts of bright dawns on the salt marshes of Long Island seeking the wily Punt in full plumage.

I boated one once which was a strong contender for the Boone And Crockett Club where each wing feather weighed 7 1/2 lb dry.

Ahhhh....

Thanks for the memories!

Would this work for you guys?

I call it the "Executioner"

So would the "Jury" be a LeMat?

How about a steam-powered, fully-automatic flintlock that's hopper-fed?

Hollowpoints with magnum primers loaded into the tips?

A 78" bbl rifle, chambered in .45-100 Octane, that uses gasoline for propellant?

Here are the ones Sandy and I used to compete with back in the early 1980s.

Are these types of firearms used in competition anymore? I did a quick Google search on the 2 models pictured and it seems both are out of production. Is there a reason? I’m just asking…

I think savage still (or has until very recently) manufactures bolt-action handguns.

Bad Idea or not I think a cap and ball revolver with a red dot would be the absolute in irony and freak people out.
Can you imagine a LEO's response when seeing this. Let alone a BG's . Just for giggles I would like one.

How about a rifle grenade designed to be launched from a BB gun?

How about a rifle grenade designed to be launched from a BB gun

Been there done that. Taped a fin stabilized CO2 cartridge to the muzzle of a pellet gun. Highly inaccurate but extremely effective on Dry wall and ceiling tiles. (thats what happens when Marines have too little work and too many tools.)

8 bore double rifle, used to hunt dangerous game like elephants. An Englishman fires this monstrosity at an elephant, both fall down, the one that gets up is the winner

 

[Dannavyret]

Uh....you couldn't use that for hunting that's for sure and as for home defense I would like to give the Prosecutor at least something to prosecute.

I think my worst idea was putting a red dot scope on a Thompson SMG. Talk about being a pain in the neck...
