Weirdest tactical junk gun you've seen, or photos?

[ABTOMAT]

Hadn't seen a thread like this so I figured I'd start.

You've know what I'm talking about--someone at the range always shows up with a gun so loaded down with "tactical" crap that you're surprised it can still fire. You're sure they've taken the "which guns for zombies?" threads seriously. Maybe it's an AR-15 with enough lights and lasers to do a Jefferson Airplane concert, or a 10/22 with 50 round mag, bayonet, and a telescopic sight that weighs more than the gun, or the classic .300WM with a folding synthetic stock. Usually the owner looks like an extra from a Steven Segal movie.

So, anyone have good stories as to the freakish firearms (or owners) they've seen? Or better yet, pics (gun only, these people are usually too ugly ) of the beast!

I'll post the pic later...a Steyr Scout with two legs from a cheap plastic camera tripod glued to it, an additional scope bases welded to the top, over the receiver!

Oh the humanity.

Must have been trying to give Mr Jeff Cooper a stroke.

Gotta be that CornerShot monstrosity that's been floating around the past couple of SHOT Shows.

Schweeeeet. I needs me one of those.

I think I'm with PAX on this one if we're talking about the same one.

The asian guy holding the AR15 with the 50 lamps, swiss army knife, IRD, spoon, fork, surefire lights galore, foregrips with super rails etc...

That would definitely be the one, if only someone had the picture on hand...

Tactical Bambi Bagger...

Too many years ago fellow came out to a range to "test his shotgun".
10 ga single shot with a scope for deer season.

Not real sure what all he did to get the rings, much less the scope on the thing...he had it 'figured out' for sure.

He fired one super duper whomp 'em load. I fetched the first aid kit and hollered out at some Docs out that day. Never seen a crescent quite like that one from scope hitting ...

Called me dirty names he did for sticking a sanitary napkin over that eye...a nd applying pressure....

Rings went one way, scope another, and the pattern you could have flown a 737 thru...

Sometimes just hanging around while folks sight in for deer season is too entertaining to actually go out and shoot something yourself...

I tend to laugh more when it is a tactical weapon that is used in a situation that really doesn't call for such a weapon. For example, I went skeet and trap shooting and someone I know showed up with a 12 gauge Saiga tacted out with a pistol grip and folding stock. Not a bad home defense weapon but hardly a skeet/trap gun.

Exact look of "skeet" gun he had:

Im guessing you would have rather him had a ten thousand dollar perazzi or something.

"Oh look miffy, its one of those dreadful saigas, such a cheap weapon, that man has no place on my firing line, his gun costs less than 1000 dollars!"

 

[Fu-man Shoe]

I'd have to agree...wildly incongrous weapons can be funny.

Taking a saiga to a skeet and trap range is ridiculous, and
it's not the cost. You could get an 870 wingmaster for
considerably less than a tac'ed out saiga, and it would be
right at home on a skeet and trap range.

No, it's not the cost...

Different horses for different courses, people.

My dad and I found a Winchester 94 (with very purdy wood furniture) with a scope mount on the frame...
Some guy drilled holes in the frame for the mount...
=(

Ugliest shotgun ever

 

[Rumble]

Hey Manedwolf, I think I see my TV remote in there. Been looking for that.

 

[Mizzle187]

doublease 2---Ive seen the one with the guy but thsoe other pics are hilarious! I-Pod hookup(I knew I saw a weaver mount for one at BestBuy! ) You know what they say "Every Good Hero Needs A Theme Song" ! Anyone know what thats from!

Mandewolf--- My favorite gun pic of all time! Thats my wallapaper on my laptop!

cmb3366---What in the hell has been done to that? Anyone read spanish?

Good lord

 

[Kevlarman]

I spy with my little eye... a baked potato!?

 

[MechAg94]

Wasn't there a Theme music joke on "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka"?


If you are gonna put all that stuff on it, you might as well mount it on a tripod hooked to a modified self-propelled lawn mower so you can push it around in front of you. I can just see some old man mowing his grass with a tripod mounted AR in front of him.

 

[AJ Dual]

The famous pic of the Asian guy with the AR is Paul Kim, chief designer for SureFire.

I'm thinking they thought it would be funny to put "one of everything" in their catalog on an AR. Then the photo got shopped, and it went from there...

 

[Chipperman]

I've got no problem with a person shooting clay games with a Saiga, provided they can actually hit a few. Maybe he bought it for tactical games, and wanted to try skeet first without buying another gun. Not everyone can afford to buy a new gun for each activity.

C'mon now. The guy was using a tacticool shutgun for skeet. It's not a matter the price of the gun. (You could ninja out an expensive shotgun and it'd still look silly on the skeet range)
You're acting like he looked down his nose at someone because they used an inexpensive gun, which in my eyes was clearly not his intention. I think your post was uncalled for.

That said, gun snobs and bite me.

 

[Correia]

So if I smoke you at skeet with a Saiga, would you still laugh then?

I've been laughed at for using a FAL as a hunting rifle also, but frankly, I don't give a damn. I only pay attention to the opinons of people who shoot better than me. Since most of the guys who talk smack, really don't shoot that good, I'm not too worried.

The tactical stuff that I laugh at is when people don't understand how the gear works, or they use the wrong gear, or cheap knock off gear that is going to fail.

That, and pistol grip only shotguns.

Other than that, if it makes somebody happy to hang stuff on their weapon, good for them. It's their gun, as long as they learn how to shoot it well.

I don't see why it offends some of you so much.

Some of us own ten different wood stocked hunting guns. Some of us own $10,000 trap guns. Some of us have a dozen Lugers. Some of us collect belt-feds. Someone out there collects ivory stocked .32 lemon squeezers.

I see this strange fixation all of the time on this board about ninjafied guns with stuff hanging on them.

But they're so HEAVY! Boo fricking hoo. I learned to shoot a 30" Wingmaster when the gun was longer than me. My carry around deer gun weighs 12 pounds, and I like it. So what? It isn't your gun. Lift some fricking weights.

But you're just a WANNABE! And what the heck are you every time you take out your Garand, Enfield, Mil-Spec 1911, or black powder musket? Sometimes it is actually fun to shoot the type of gun that has served a useful purpose for somebody other than yourself.

You got this right.....

The private club I belong to has two public sight in days. I don't miss them for the world.......I make sure I have my most accurate "old military junk" with me......hehehe......A smile comes to my lips when I think of the three guys trying to hit a paper plate at 25 yards with a 94 Win. No ear muffs. I let loose with my TC in 45/70 on the next bench. After three shots, one of the guys said you only hit the paper once, 50 meters. I brought my target back and showed them the nice three leaf clover. When I left, can't shoot that beast too much, the still haven't hit that paper plate and they were on their second box of ammo..........Worst tricked out gun I ever saw at the range was a Si-ops M1A with every rail full of stuff. The guy could hardly pick it up........chris3
