Guns That Seemed Cool in Movies... Disappointed IRL.

You don't like a rifle that feels like it was made from discarded furniture and plumbing scrap parts?

Fixed that for ya, Mike.

Seems like a good thread to put this in: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog...uns-of-joss-whedons-firefly-and-serenity/They look cool, but they are "real" working firearms with prosthetic features.

I wouldn't mind trying a Goncz/Claridge Hi-Tech. Admittedly, no idea how it would shoot. Looking at it, can't tell if the weight distribution is genius or torture.

wow I never knew that was a real gun until now. Limited run or concept piece?

According to wiki they stopped making them in the early 90s when California banned them and no duplicate has been made since

I get the whole history thing, but I couldn't imagine actually having to use one for anything other than a paddle.

Same.

I traded for one once because I thought I should. Fired it once and... well. It's still up there in my safe.

When they were cheap an abundant along with the SKS... I thought the SVT-40 was a bit rarer and cooler so I got that instead.

Large loop on lever actions. For me not as smooth and slower than regular lever. Rooster made it look so cool and easy.

IMHO the PPK is the penultimate "looks good, but actually it sucks" gun ever made. You want it to be great, but it can't be. I still want a black PPK in .380, one of the
newer Walther ones. Even though inherently I know it hurts to shoot. It just looks good.

I will take my CZ50 or Makarov over ppk any day

Nope, Glock 7.

Made in Germany, this firearm is constructed entirely of porcelain, is capable of passing through airport metal detectors completely unnoticed. The only downside to this amazing weapon is the price, which is quite expensive. The real MSRP is unknown, but experts say that they cost more than the Dulles International Airport Police Chief makes in a month

I was going to refute and then remembered. good one
