When your enemy comes.........what gun do you hope he's holding?

[2dogs]

Or, in other words, what's the worst POS gun you've ever had the misfortune to own, buy, trade, give away or use for a doorstop?

 

[Matt G]

Jennings? Lorcin? RG?

Hm. No-- they have a nasty habit of working for the first shot.

Maybe American Derringer Corp? The trigger pulls are so hard, they'd never get it shot, and would have difficulty hitting anything they tried to shoot at.

My personal experience with TEC-9s was so unfavorable, I might hope for that. Unreliable, inaccurate, and lends itself to being fired from the hip, or sideways from overhead.

Anything gangstas like, so's they'll shoot it in the above-described manner. (Yo?)

 

[Preacherman]

I hope he's holding a cap-'n-ball pistol and has forgotten to put on the caps!

 

[Hkmp5sd]

Airsoft would be good.

 

[Viking6]

The empty one.

 

[yorec]

Airsoft would be good.

Now there's a good answer!

I was thinking, "Doesn't matter as long as it's a .25 acp," but "Airsoft" beats that all to bits...

 

[stans]

A child's cap pistol.

 

[MacPelto]

Pointy finger in his pocket?

 

[Joe Demko]

If I know in advance he is coming, it doesn't matter what he is holding. They can bury it with him.

 

[MLH]

A rubber band gun.

 

[ruger357]

Nothing.

 

[ArmsAkimber]

A dog-eared copy of "Earth In the Balance"

 

[Freedom in theSkies]

The kind you get at Disneyland... You know, the muzzleloading double-barrelled cap gun....

 

[griz]

One of Colt's "smart" guns. While he is dialing the 800 number for customer service I'll be headed the other way. By the time he tells the rep I've got an error message on my new gun I'll be at home relaxing.

 

[Neal Bloom]

Hopefully he'll be holding and waving a white flag. Anything else means war.

 

[GhostShooter]

What Golgo said.

 

[foghornl]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Maybe the old RG .22LR revolver I once had. Fired a full box of ammo, never hit the 9" paper plate from 5 yds. Wasn't heavy enough to be a good throwing weapon, either.

 

[Don Gwinn]

Tec 9. Sideways.

 

[redneck]

Supersoaker, preferably one big enough to hose things down after he wets himself at the sight of MY gun

 

[Camshaft]

a 1911, so i know it will jam

 

[gburner]

staple gun, cap gun, squirt gun, salad shooter, hot glue gun, son of a gun,
gunga din, rubber band gun, paintball

13 in. seacoast mortar, pvc potato gun,
speargun, dartgun, blowgun, vaccination gun, run and gun, trebuchet.........

 

[HS/LD]

Something that looks real but is not.

Therefore I will still be justified in using lethal force....

[G. Glock]

Provided he's carrying a real gun, I have two choices:

1. I hope he's packing a big powerful handgun that packs a lot of recoil, and he's somebody who doesn't shoot much but thinks a big bullet with lots of power will see him through.


2. I hope he's carrying a fully automatic weapon and thinks that it's impossible to miss with one, that you don't even have to worry about aiming or even pointing well.

[lapidator]

Are you kidding me?

If i know he's coming... hmm... how 'bout an MP5 suppressed? Talk about winning the spoils of war!

If i'm surprised... Any handgun would be preferable to any carbine/rifle/shotgun.

[DonP]

Llama .380

The NIB one I tried at the local shop had the slide retainer fall out the first time I racked the slide so the slide flew off and the spring jammed it at an odd angle.

Plus the fit between the slide and frame was so off that it felt like it was made from sandpaper.

I handed the gun "kit" back to the store owner and she put it in a bag to return to the wholesaler.

That's quality for ya!
