What Guns Do You Find Ridiculous????

[Connor Murphy]

The truly ridiculous gun is the one that is surrendered to the state "for the common good".

Form follows function. Not the other way around.

Though I think with a muzzleloader we should all load em up with a red dot, magnifier, flashlight, laser, bipod, vertical foregrip, and pistol grip (anyone getting a heart attack yet? ).

Those single shot Cricket .22lr rifles. Why not just spend an extra $30 or $40 and get a semi-auto mossberg. +1 for the credit card gun.

Because a single-shot bolt action rifle is good for training younger kids on shooting and safety would be my guess. I have a 10/22, but I'm considering buying a Cricket for my boy to learn with before moving him up to semi-auto. Although I'll probably just start with the .17HMR Savage I already have and then move to the 10/22.

Whats wrong with The noreen bn 36

I don't have anything against the general concept but, FWIW, a friends brother bought a Noreen .30 '06 (not sure of the specific model but "AR" style). It came apart on him. The bolt carrier was almost paper thin in the area where the magazine clearance cuts are. The bottom of the bolt carrier peeled open and launched the magazine and contents out the bottom and some frags into his hand. I suspect they've corrected this problem since (as I understand it, they were extremely responsive when contacted) but something to consider.

Why are you guys giving me evil ideas about a set of Noreen receivers built into a .30-06 blacktip-loaded armor-busting AR pistol?

My boy about 20 years ago with a Chipmunk single shot .22. Too small for me to shoot unless I place the butt on my chin but perfect for a little guy. Then they were nicely wood-stocked and well proportioned. Some of the new crop of small .22s look like there may have been some Thalidomide involved in their birth

Still, I think a single shot is the way to start and teach them about the value of careful aimed fire.

If your looking to break your wrist, i would highly recommend the shockwave

I'm thinking something like a bigger version of Mk 18 Mod Briefcase, not really a pistol but more a "folds to fit in a large briefcase/small duffel" two-hands-no-shoulder weapon. Sorta like how you hold a no-stock Thompson.

Id say Taurus PT-22
Its a small compact neat little pistol until you fire it, it has a flip barrel that will jam on any loads of 22LR.
You can polish the feeds, oil , buy $$$ ammo nope and not just one but two we once had did it.
Hence once had. I wanted a nice plinking 22lr but these are ridiculous. The old cheap Jennies we once had worked at least.
Anyways thats my pick.

Not a fan of tiny one- and two-shot derringers. Might be if I were a collector of historic vintage curios, but I'm not.

What are the chances of getting a finger on the forward hand into the line of fire? Stupid!

"Are you a mexi-can or a mexi-can't?"

Heisenberg? Is that you?

Magazine grip.

 

[ZigZagZeke]

Magazine grip.

Then why put a wooden forestock on it?

To keep you from getting your finger too close to the heat.

Spend a few more bucks and get a Chipmunk. Nicer rifle. Or the Henry but that's more $$still.

Here's my boy with his chipmunk a couple of weeks back. They are great for new shooters, especially the little ones.
