Hideous Handguns

Can't believe this one hasn't been posted yet, being so prominent in the news.

Why the concept of painting guns will never work.

That gun looks bada$$. Nothing says I can shoot like a gun that has clearly been used... Only 1 of my guns looks like I bought it and put it in a safe. I have several painted rifles!

Applying that philosophy, the next time I see a car all scratched and dented with bald tires, I should assume the owner must be one hell of a driver.

That would make sense if cars were meant to be used in any similar fashion. A weapon created for combat specifically doesn't get ran through the carwash every saturday. A vehicle created for combat that looked "used" and still worked perfectly would would be assumed to be a great vehicle. The gun appears to have some missing paint, but no dents/scratches/bald tires. those things would degrade a vehicles ability to function properly, missing paint on a gun would not. A car that looks that way has likely not been used for it's specific function, but improperly used, lest it was made for crashing or derby.

In comes jeep wrangler/CJ's who really get out where they are supposed to go

So maybe some guns look better worn, some vehicles look better muddy and scratched and maybe a little rock kiss here and there

Precisely - used for their intended purposes!

I had NO idea Black & Decker had entered the weapons market.... ;-)

The only thing that is "worn" in the photo I posted was the paint. That should tell you something.

That was a US military M4 in that photo. The paint that's coming off likely protected the underlying finish that look fairly new. The Upper may actually be a recent replacement for it. And unless the Army has started handing out suppressors to their REMFs/POGs...it was used.

Maybe some recent Army dogs can clarify, but I don't believe regular line troops are allowed/authorized to paint their weapons.

Someone PLEASE tell me it's common knowledge that if you Google image search "ugly girl pretty gun" this is on the first page....

INGO clown. I am laughing.

There's a guy that sometimes goes to the 'Cars-n-Coffee' meet up in Carmel on Saturdays with a Lamborgini that has something like 90k on the clock. The car has a bunch of stone chips and looks like it's one of the few Lambos actually used for what it was built for: to be driven. The patina of use on a well maintained tool will always look better to me than something that's never been truely used for its intended purpose. That goes as much for an old BMW as it does for an M4.

Lol the glow in the. Dark orange is cool may do the five sevens up like that

 

[Archer]

Personally I think the Taurus White Poly revolvers are the most hideous gun I've ever seen. Bleh!

Then this should get you drooling, and vacuum out your wallet.

 

[88E30M50]

It sure does. I hope my ARs eventually look that well used. I've always believed that we should do our best to try to wear our guns out through training with them as much as we can.
