Ever Bought A Gun Just For Laughs?

[DadSmith]

I thought about getting one of these...

 

[xoregonian]

Yes.
Bought a $50 rifle out of a Damark catalog. Had no clue. There was a little box with a couple of sentences about owning a piece of history, blah blah, and a picture. I was about 3 honey lagers in and thought what the hell. This is what I got in the mail. Yes this was mailed to me and arrived at my quarters on Schofield Barracks.


1894 Mosin Nagant. I had no clue what it was at the time (1993-94 time frame). Chatellerault France produced Finn capture.
I had this thing in my quarters and that was a huge no-no, but I was so dumb I would tell people it was an antique, and they mailed it right to me; so it can't be a functioning firearm, right? So a decade later I'm watching the History Channel and I see the rifle and go wait a minute. Started doing research as fast as 56k dial-up would allow and OMG. I could go on but, yeah $50.

BTW It is a fully functioning firearm and I have shot it.

I'm just too cheap to drop money on something just for laughs honestly. That said, I do laugh at a lot of the stuff my wife spends my money on.

I inherited a gun from my father in law that fits the bill. Lorcin L380 in bright chrome.

I've bought 3 guns here on ingo that were pretty much just for laughs. A Hi Point .45, a Heritage .22, and a Cobra .32. Each one only cost $100 (well, I did have to pay shipping and transfer fee for the Cobra).

Do you know those little tiny one shot pocket guns that look like a phone and fold up? Yeah they’re cool and great convo starter! Buy one if you can and have a laugh
You all have some good stories on here haha

I have been tempted many times to buy one of these, just for laughs:

We share a similar mindset, long barrel revolvers always give me a good laugh

It makes me laugh, because it makes me think of Jack Nicholson's scene in Batman. In the theater, everyone was laughing at that scene.

I feel like that when you take it out at the range. you only have a 16 inch long pistol if you are, erm... you know the rest.

My brother gave it too me. Sometimes it fires one round in a row before it jams!

I bought a Hi Point C9 once to see what all the fuss was with them based on internet lore and quickly sold it.

I've got to admit, whenever I see one of these I have flashbacks to Joe Picapoe and his 88 magnum.

 

[FNparabellum]

Yea ive got two
My altor for my local bowling pin competition
And my AK-FOOTY7
Built this one myself and surprisingly the stock fits nicely in the shoulder

 

[JMcCarty]

Just traded one of my .22 henry lever actions for his behemoth

 

[tcecil88]

I built this up and dubbed it the Giggle Gun. It always makes people laugh when they shoot a golf ball or tennis ball.

That cylinder looks long enough to be a .410 bore.
A "Raging Judge Magnum". Will that also chamber the .454 Casull?

Yep! .410, .45 Long Colt, and .454 Casull.
Now I’m trying to find some .454 for less than $2/rnd

More for Fun - bought a Mossberg shockwave 410 - Extremely Fun to Shoot
- but not a Range type gun -

 

[BigMoose]

Anyone who has every bought one of those mini cannons

Apparently I watch too many YouTube videos, so I bought this AR500 (.500 Auto Max) so my buddies and I can blow **** up and laugh…
