Pistol Caliber Carbines Look Ridiculous

[fournines]

9mm and 10mm
I love the tommy gun but its heavy.
A 30 carbine in 10mm I would buy in a hart beet

I love my CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Carbine

Perhaps I'm too much of a WWII fanboy but modern pistol caliber carbines look terrible. Beyond the classic lever actions or WWII firearms the choices available are something out of a 1950s Sci-Fi movie or a boring copy of an AR type platform.

Examples:
Beretta CX4-Storm
Hi-Point Carbine
CMMG Resolute
Just Right Carbine
Vector Gen II
IVI Tavor
Ruger PC Carbine

I've fired a few of these and they are actually pretty fun. But aesthetically, I think they look like ridiculous Sci-Fi guns.

Maybe I should start a company that makes M3 Grease gun repos to compete with these carbines.

What are your thoughts?

That's your opinion but obviously not alot of others since it's the hottest selling items on the market right now. Wait 6mons to a yr and it'll be something else you don't like lol.

Maybe a Gease Gun or a Thompson but not an M1 carbine.
Now that defines ugly !

Maybe that ugliness was a design feature intended to insult the enemy ?
What an insult to be shot by such an ugly gun !

If they didn't have an interest, and didn't sell, I'm guessing they wouldn't be made?

 

[MannyGlocks]

If pistol carbines aren't to your liking, why do special forces like them?

Oh, you did'nt know?

 

[po18guy]

Oh, the concept may be called into question, and some of them do look a little on the silly side. But, what if the pistol-caliber carbine was still a pistol? And a carbine? The grip frame on this MechTech .45 looks hauntingly familiar. Am thinking .45 Super or .460 Rowland. Not exactly a .450 SOCOM, but not all that far away - especially in .460. And, should involve no FFL or transfer.

The Mechtechs are on my radar but I wish the builds would come in a bit lighter. A build like you have pictured there would come in at over 8#'s if I don't miss my guess.

Yes, on sunny days Jeeps should be topless.

Dammit mister! I believe ya!
AND I have driven through a few snowstorms with a few Jeeps with the tops off over the years as well!

Moral of this thread.

I like ugly guns apparently.

Sheesh, for a gun forum, there are a lot of gun owners here complaining about guns they don't like.

Thought it was supposed to be the other way around.

Better than complaining about members I don't like no?
