Title: Ugliest rifle
Post by: trackerbuddy on November 15, 2017, 06:26:20 PM
If you're like me, the new catalog from Pyramid air is creased and dog eared like a Sears wishbook from years past.  What is striking is that the design of guns is no longer restricted to the traditional look of a rifle.  I'm a traditionalist who likes the look of wood but my tastes are by no means a limited to the R9.  Bullpups and carbines, extreme drop combs, pcp's with air bottles sticking out of them, then there's the adjustable 10M guns.  I don't question how they shoot I'm judging on pure looks.  What's the ugliest airgun made?
My vote goes to the Evanix Rainstorm 3D Bullpup.  It looks like a milk crate.  If you own one and are put off by my comment then by all means please bring it to the shoot in Sparta KY next spring, I'd love to try it
I'd love to hear about what else offends your artistic eye.

Agree that the Rainstorm 3D is very ugly.
but, ho boy if you hunt in a place where you bang into boulders and trees all day long that solid chassis is just the ticket it protects the rifle from just about anything, Hunted with those rifles for years and they where as solid as it gets in rough hunting situations.

As I agree that the 3D is extremely ugly, I gotta say there's a few out there that might beat it :) :) ...that Hatsan pictured above sure gives it a good run for the money :):)

Lol.  That wildlife NEEDS orange and blue striping, perhaps some glued on tinfoil on that boxy thing in front of the trigger to complete that seventies b-movie space gun laser-tag look.  How else are supposed to know it has inverse-phase reactor packs?

Those Hawaii looking trees behind the dude with the evanix are really cool though!

It's like the rifle version of those survival knives with the compass on the end of the hilt!  Does the stock come with matches and fishing string?  Good thing it has that protractor, you know, for measuring angles in the woods.  What is the red button for?  There's GOT to be a death ray in there somewhere!

Oh guys !... I laughed so much my day's gonna be a good day !! I'm a bit traditionalist and conservative and my ideal rifle would be all wood and steel.

I hope I won't get ennemies out here but the ugliest rifle for me is the AirForce Talon PCP, how efficient it may be. Anyway, I found its handgun version. Not worse.

I agree with you on the Wildlife not being that ugly of a gun, David.

Glocks, on the other hand, I think are the ugliest modern handguns in production!

The wildfire is certainly ugly especially the variant with the compass and particle beam fire button . The Glock on the other hand is utilitarian (ugly) and extremely accurate. For me accuracy trumps ugly every time  ;D

I don't need pin point accuracy in a PB pistol. Just needs to hit human torso sized targets inside 20ft via instinctive shooting. I've yet to shoot a pistol that is not capable of this......even those Hi-Point brand cheapos.

Glock is a great example of warming up to the looks with time,
I've always been and still are in the camp that the 1911 is the best looking handgun, but since I had my Glock 19 I think Glocks are beautiful :) :) I now really like that blocky look and plan in the future to ad a .45 to the collection :)


......Ok, OK sorry,
I think the Evanix MAX is also a pretty ugly gun :)

You do know it's supposed to look like an M-16 right ?
It's not as realistic looking as the m417 I had, but still was still supposed to look like an M-16.
Not the best looking air rifle for sure though.

I feel pretty much the same, Steve. I can appreciate a good looking would stock, I even like the European bull pup designs, but the whole “tacti-cool” thing is such a turn off.

FX streamline and Daystate Regal are awesome looking guns.

I'm just the opposite. I really like the tactical/military designs, and while I don't dislike them, I find the traditional wooden hunting type rifles very boring.....except for many of the fancy HFT guns.

Yes the AMC Gremlin was a cute car . The Pacer was like driving down the road in a fishbowl. I had a cousin that owned a Pacer that car was definitely UGLY. I owned a '73 AMC Hornet with 360 and 4bbl Holly double pumper carb back then AMC formerly Nash/Rambler sold some interesting cars.

I certainly understand.  I did not like the looks at all but then I bought a used gun with a stock that looked very much like this and I was sure surprised. It is so far from conventional rifle look for sure. Brian
Listen if I came across this abomination for $15....I'd buy it LOL

I found something unusual and interesting while visiting a Polish website. I'm quite sure many of you know it but it makes me think of the consequences of a ski accident :'(...


When I posted I was getting a Xisico Sentry, Bill replied "Welcome to the Ugly Gun club".

I didn't know it was official.  ;D

Scott, 

I should apologize! Sometimes I wonder whether I'm able to consider anything else than a Purdey or an old Springfield as  a rifle, or not...So just imagine how I can appreciate an Airforce Condor !  Compared to it, the Xisico Sentry has a real charm of his own. The forearm just looks a little.. err.. mechanical, but the whole rifle still looks like a rifle. I'm just an innocuous sectarian. :-X

I have seen the Sentry with the plastic fore-arm / shroud piece removed exposing the wood and floating barrel.
Looks like a completely different rifle!

Hoosier Daddy, Thank you for your support. I have never owned an ugly gun before and I wouldn't know what to do. I may have avoided the ridicule of my family because they may not recognize an ugly gun if they saw one, but my fellow GTA members would know and there is no way to escape their scorn. I would just have to live with the shame.

TBH, I can`t wait to get mine either. I like the forearm piece; it makes it look kick @55 to me.

In my younger days I raced homing pigeons.  I was told they had to look just so.  Well I had by their standard some ugly birds but when they beat the others home from 2-- 4 hundred miles, won the race,  they were beautiful in my eyes.   The faster they came home the prettier they got...Smile..  Sorta like an ugly rifle that hits the zero bull every shot.  That would make them look good to me even if they were painted yellow.  another smile about here.. :D

My Frankengun is my only PCP.  It is largely homebuilt and shoots hard with great efficiency (1.74 fpe/ci at 30fpe with 16.2 gr jsb beasts!) and weighs in at just over 4.5 pounds.  It fits all the criteria I wanted in my first (probably only) PCP.  Of course, once the art/sykes valve is in there with the longer maximus barrel (and I have done some porting), I am loftily hoping to surpass that 2fpe/ci mark and hit 100 shots per fill with a 1% ES before dropping off the regulator.

Honestly, I kind of roll my eyes when people are all about polished stocks and pretty bling.  I want to shoot my gun, not display it.  I don't want to stress out when someone is holding it or leans it against something that will scratch it.

Terribly sorry to inform everyone but, the Kimchi has left the building. It was appropriately disposed of. It now resides in the square receptacle curbside.

Terribly sorry to inform everyone but, the Kimchi has left the building. It was appropriately disposed of. It now resides in the square receptacle curbside. Unfortunately the Tupperware container was sacrificed. I understand that it's disrespectful to turn down a gift from a Korean. For that, I apologize.

You think that smells weird? My, uh, leavings have smelled like toast and coffee lately? The first time it wafted under my nose, I thought the Ninja was brewin' a pot?! ;)
  Anyway, the Frankengun/ugliest rifle for me are those modular, cobbled together out of a military parts bin someplace, Star Trek-meets-Mad Max-air rifles. Just about the ugliest things I ever saw. I don't know whether to shoot it, or try to hit ludicrous speed and go plaid???

The wildlife is terrible but i think the crosman A I R 17 is even worse. Like they took the wildlife and cut it up and couldn’t figure out to line the pieces back up. The hatsan semi autos are a close second.
I own a AIR 17. Not the a bad looking m16 attempt of the 1980’s just wished the barrel was rifled for better accuracy. Better looking than the bulldog or the evantix

I do also think the Crosman Air 17 is kind of ugly, but only because they didn't try hard enough to make it look like an AR-15. Relatively speaking though as an airgun it's not all that ugly.
I recently posted a want add here for an AIR 17 for my dad and received an offer he couldn't refuse on a working example with it's faux magazine. It doesn't have the cover for the bb port but I've got one off a broken 66 that I'll install for him.

Have you chrony it? Had to rebuild mine as the seals had dried up. Accuracy for mine is 12 yards max have a 15 yard range in my basement. Any further and five shots five holes😳 looked like a shotgun blast🧐Tried a slew of different pellets and the hatSan vortex supreme in 8.64 gr won not one hole but pellets touching 😎

If I remember right, the M4177 rifled barrel is supposed to fit the AIR17. It's pretty close to basically period-correct for us nam-era types. But also looks like a Crosman, ya know? Here's some pics of the 1/87 one I found in The Closet of Lost Gold that I'd bought for my #2 son @ age 8. Gave back to him last Christmas. It had the sling and speed loaders intact as well and functioned normally.

My AIR 17 is used to shoot BB's. I find it's more accurate with BB's than pellets. Not very accurate with either but it makes a fun can plinker at 50 feet shooting Daisy zinc BB's. I've had several. As I recall, I chronyed one in the high 300's fps. 385 fps or something like it.

When I get back from the Philippines I’m ordering a rifled barrel from the m4 177 replacing the smooth bore air17 barrel. Hoping for better accuracy and to at least hit targets in my 15 yard range in my basement. The way it is 12 yards max with pellets beyond that it’s a shotgun blast😳

 Long story short he was given a fair price for one in overall great condition minus it's missing bb port cover which I happen to have for him off of my old 66.
It has no pellet clip but those are readily available for the 760, plus I can just make a loading block out of a little scrap of wood like I did my 760.

Mine never misses a 12 oz can at 50 feet.....unless I do something wrong.  ::)  I'm guessing it does 2" groups at 50'. Might do better with match grade BB's. I've never bothered to target test it on paper. I'm sure your Dad will have fun with it. Not sure what this means but I've had at least a 1/2 a dozen AIR 17's and never met one that didn't shoot great......for what it is. Not a bad track record for 30 year old pumpers. I think Crosman got this cheapo plinker right.

I had a bulldog for a short time . It was not as bad looking in person, still not pretty though . The stock is cheap flimsy plastic and it leaked brand new out of the box . Leak kept getting worse never got a chance to shoot it before I got fed up and sent it back . Personally I think the newer hatsan pcps look way worse but I still dislike the bulldog, mostly because of the lack of build quality .

I like a LOT of the Hatsan designs, they have a certain vibe that tickles my fancy. I really love a lot of the Kral Arms stuff, too, those Turks have a way with industrial 'looks' that is somehow appealing...

Not a fan of the Kral Arms "Armour" guns, though, nor the ones that look like Air Force guns, which, as it goes, I also dislike for a variety of reasons including 'looks'..

Lotsa awesomeness alongside the "Whaddafugg?" models in the catalog..

These are a couple of the newer hatsans I was referring too . I like industrial looks as well, although i have no issue with aiforce guns . If the hatsans did not all have auto safteys I'd have a pump action at44 . I'm left handed and it would work out well . For me there is no point is a repeater with a saftey that turns on after every shot . Its annoying in single shots but i can deal with it .

So true, dominator has one of the ugliest stocks I can think of. Somehow everything looks a bit out of proportions, not sure if changing that stock could fix the appearance, barrel is skinny and the gap between air tank and barrel is too big for my tastes.

Totally agree with you, Albert.  It's essentially that monster gap between barrel and tank. It seems like it was an after thought. Or maybe they figured it would be a great design to hold small games you've shoot.
That stock looks completely out of proportioned. They must have designed this gun after a night of Oktoberfest

If you're like me, the new catalog from Pyramid air is creased and dog eared like a Sears wishbook from years past.  What is striking is that the design of guns is no longer restricted to the traditional look of a rifle.  I'm a traditionalist who likes the look of wood but my tastes are by no means a limited to the R9.  Bullpups and carbines, extreme drop combs, pcp's with air bottles sticking out of them, then there's the adjustable 10M guns.  I don't question how they shoot I'm judging on pure looks.  What's the ugliest airgun made?
My vote goes to the Evanix Rainstorm 3D Bullpup.  It looks like a milk crate.  If you own one and are put off by my comment then by all means please bring it to the shoot in Sparta KY next spring, I'd love to try it
I'd love to hear about what else offends your artistic eye.
LOL....for ME it has to be the Career 707 PCP that looks like it was assembled from a lever action saddle gun that mated with a "twice barrel over/under" and rifle barrel tacked on top that was tricked out by an old whaler who carved scrimshaw on the side plate.............
(https://i.imgur.com/hcBO5IX.png)
Even uglier after adding a scope........
(https://i.imgur.com/0c4ieGC.png)
I have read that they're rather accurate and powerful however with the report of a .22 rimfire that's shooting at 3x the power.

That is the PCP version of the Hammerli 850 I believe, same gun with the valve spaced down for the 88g CO2 tank but with a small diameter air cylinder in it's place, or it's an adapted air reservoir on an 850... they're goofy looking guns but pretty cool, I have one, haven't shot it all that much but it's nice to have a mag and a big propellant reservoir...

Wow, this thread only started on the 15th and its up to 12 pages! I have not read them all yet, too much for one setting. But I am surprised by all the Hatsan hatred going on :). I agree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My AT44 QE is on the plain Jane side of life, but ugly? She does have a great personality though! Now my Proxima, she is a first class beauty queen, inside and out.
Don't hate Hatsans just feel that there are better rifles out there at the same price point but that is just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions  ;D

It is VERY ugly, i give you this warning, once you seen it, you cant unsee it, ever!

Hatsan continues it's domination in the ugly category haha

From the pistol grip forward it's not bad, a bit bulky and square. That stock is something else. When you put them together it's uglier than the parts alone

Interesting... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.
I thought Gary Barnes did some awesome looking airguns.

I agree with ya, Scott. Not ugly. I decree that these guns are no where up to F.U.G.L.Y. standards

It is ugly when form dictates function.  Function should always dictate form.  ;D.

The gauntlets stock is the only thing that keeps me from buying it. Butt ugly.

And it’s so loooonnnggg.

We need more compact pcp guns. Not enough selection within a decent price.

They need to step back and look hard at their springers to take some hints at what makes a rifle nice. 

My 95QE is lovely... but then I look at the Proxima and the Sortie and all I can do is shake my head.

Some airguns, like the Gauntlet, have to follow a certain shape (extra-long barrel to get promised speeds), but let's face it a lot of PCPs look like their designers didn't even try to make something appealing.  Yeah, BullMaster, I'm talking about you.  The Daystate Pulsar and FX Wildcat are two other stupid-looking airguns. Swoopy curvy blobs of synthetic or Walnut cannot diminish the turdliness of those.

 ;) ;D Not to be a nay sayer but in reality beauty is in the eye of the beholder proof in point when yo walk down the street and see an attractive man or woman that is in a totally committed relationship with a bridge troll, and all you can think is sheesh what the heck does he/she see in that person. That applies to cars, boats and guns as well

I think he must have made a mistake mentioning the Wildcat and he ment an other gun,.....because I think the Wildcat is one of the nicest, sleekest and well proportioned pups out there.

Sir, to place the FX Wildcat in the same league as the Gammo Swarm and the whatever whatever is frank, good sir, worthy of a light slap with a leather glove, 10 paces, turn, etc....

Yeah, I meant the other FX gun- the amorphoous blob-of-synthetic AKA Bobcat.  Granted, if I had one, I'd enjoy selling it to fund whatever I got next.

If I had a dollar for every woman that didn’t find me attractive, they’d all find me attractive.

I dunno...compared to most of the listings in this thread this rifle looks downright gorgeous! ;D It's got some interesting features as well. Like the lever action (LOVE my Golden Boy) and the removable/replaceable iron sights. Interesting. JMHO Thanks much for posting!

No, I like the looks of this one and wish I
could get mine shooting.
(busted plastic mounting studs inside)
And would love it to be a pumper and not a SSP.

But, that is just my taste and maybe not for the rest.
