To buy or not to buy it?

[lilrhino]

Just found this at a gun shop on my way home last weekend and can't help thinking I'll never see another one like it. Thoughts? Am I crazy for wanting to buy it strictly as a novelty item?

I got some stuff I would sell. If all it takes is for it to look like that, I'll paint it all up. Deal?

I would hope that I never see another thing like that...

Painting real guns to look like toys is a new trend among the criminally insane to try and get cops that confront them to hesitate to shoot. Pure evil.

I would think that a responsible LGS would either refuse to sell that, or at least throw a coat of black or FDE spray paint on it.

Nope. Its the exact reason you earn money. You go around once, make yourself happy.

Wtf is it, besides ugly and useless? Since you asked, no, don't buy it.

It's an AR pistol. Likely built by the same guy that drives this...

Yeah, the only people you'd impress, you don't want as friends.

I'd buy it and do a revolver conversion. Still needs either a chainsaw mount or a bubble blower out front, you know, for balance.

Do they give those as graduation gifts from Clown College?

Hide it under the front seat of the Nash Metropolitan

Would I buy it...No.
The appearance of the firearm does scream "toy gun" to me as well....Not something that I am interested in at all.

Would I go as far as to say "paint jobs" like that in the OP need to be banned...No.
But I do think that they are a bad idea...and can cause confusion among kids , folks who really don't know firearms , law enforcement , etc...

Andy said it all. All I can add is that is one UGLY gun!!!

I think it's a fightlight raider basicly the Mossberg shockwave of the AR world the paint Job definitely is a no go!

Like said, I personally dont like guns that look like toys, especially if kids will ever see it, but you dont need anyone else's approval or permission. Do whatever you want.

 

[284guy]

At least it's not a classic Winchester.

 

[orygun]

Nope, I wouldn't buy one. Probably wouldn't even buy one if it was black.

I'd like to shoot one, though, just for the experience.

 

[Ownerus]

Bullpup it!

Certifiable

I had already pushed the " Unwatch" button but decided to add my Bride's comment. "THAT IS BEYOND GROSS!!!" I find myself agreeing completely.
