What are your silliest, most useless firearms.

[cjrubes]

I'd have to say my 1941 Nagant revolver. Fun to shoot, surprisingly accurate but pretty much useless in any sort of practical situation. Well....I guess it's better than a pointy stick...

Historically innovative though.

About the same time as DED below... I got it at Fin and Fur in Uxbridge. Buddy bought a chrome one.

Do you mean Fin & Feather on rt. 140 in Upton?
I purchased a chrome one from there for $60 and my buddy got the black one at the same time. He gave me his so now I have a brace of Jennins J-22's.

Yup. Them!

Gotta have the pimp chrome!

A friend carried a hammer on his belt while riding his chopper. It had straight, hollow handle bars for some reason.

This would be mine.

...congratulations?

Same..

You just don't know how to shoot them

Most useless: a Italian Vetterli M1870/87/15 Infantry Rifle that was converted to 6.5mm with a date stamp of 1889. Bought it on a whim and I don't know I trust it enough to even shoot it. And I over paid for it because I was a new gun owner and stupid.

Other useless guns would include a hi-point carbine in 9mm, the glock clone in 357 sig.

 

[whacko]

In all honesty most useless gun I've owned was a .410 Henry. Don't get me wrong I love henry rifles still own 3 of em but the .410 was just not usefull. I had the long barrel version with changeable chokes too. I bought it cuz I thought it would be a nice comfy carry in the woods for small game. It was. But shit .410 is just not that usefull on squirrels. I hunt squirrel for success I like to pile em in the freezer for stew and such and I wounded and missed so many damn squirrels with that gun I was ready to toss it in the creek. Before you all flame me....I know.....shoot em up close.....I did. Even with a full choke I had squirrels running away wounded. And it was patterned and I knew where it hit.....I could shoot 23 on the trap range with that 410! Just got tired of losing squirrels with it so it started sitting in the safe and after 2 years of never taking it out even to f*** around on the trap range I sold it.

It's literally the only gun I've ever sold off from my collection.

I don't have any silly firearms, they all have a specific purpose (at least that is what I tell my wife). But this will be my next silliest gun, Ruger Super Redhawk in 22 Hornet:

Ruger® Super Redhawk® Standard Double-Action Revolver Model 5526

S&w500

Yup. Fired one once. I would bet 90 percent of the 500 mags sold have 5 maybe 10 rounds thru them and they sit in a safe.

I would prefer a 460 S&W, at least then you can fire 454 Casull and 45 Colt in it.

Flobert parlor rifle

Will NES ever forget the flobert?

 

[whacko]

Nobody has posted up Mossberg Shockwave yet?

Probably not because most people that bought them can't come to admit how bad they really are.

 

[chris_1001]

You just don't know how to shoot them

Huh?

 

[drgrant]

Probably not because most people that bought them can't come to admit how bad they really are.

There's nothing bad about a Shockwave if it's equipped with a brace or SBSed. Out of the box? Sure it's useless but nobody runs them that way.

 

[drgrant]

NAA as well

I used to sell these all the time and be like "wtf?" But people like collecting them even if they probably never shoot them beyond that one time.

I've probably shot it a dozen times- mostly when it was 'new' to me. I did send it back to NAA because the hammer was screwed up. They replaced just about everything except the frame and cylinder.

I threw a light and a laser on mine, rests under my bed. Oh, forgot about the MOST useless pistol I own: HiPoint pistol in .45. A friend gave it to me because it was such a piece of chit. Mag falls out when you fire it. Figure I'll trade it for a chicken when the SHTF.

 

[G4Y4HK]

Anyone have a COP 4-banger? Saw it on an episode of Stargate SG-1 once I think it was the preferred sidearm of that idiot museum guard guy.

That is my plan for the J-22 and HP22… currency for the apocalypse.

Ruger Wrangler Revolver....decent cheap revolver...it hits what I aim at (within reason) but I rarely use it because if a pesty critter shows up in one of my fields, it's usually too far away to dispatch it with the Wrangler so I need to use my .22 rifle. Not a carry gun for the most part. I usually carry a 9mm or 45 ACP.

It's fun to plink with though and cheap to shoot but I hardly ever do that anymore either.

Don't have one but I shot one once. Worst trigger on any hand gun I've ever fired. There are so many hitches in that trigger you could hook it up to a clydsdale team.

 

[T-Unit]

I sort of regret not buying the .22 Short version in my free state days and it’s the smallest one they make…

It's not like the .22 LR has that much more ability to defend yourself and the Short model literally feels like nothing when carried.
