You dont have to own it. It doesnt have to be worth a fuck. Simply put it just has to be cool.
What is the most interesting looking firearm to you? |

Something "coastal defense" sized and mounted, um, on the coast!

A No.3 Schofield, a 6" Chiappa Rhino, a well-stocked Kentucky long rifle, and that weird over-the-shoulder semi-auto 20mm anti-material rifle from WW2.
The Steyr Flechette prototype is kinda neat looking too. And a FAMAS G1 just looks neat. |

Quoted: FAMAS and SPAS-12 are up there View Quote I always thought the FAMAS looked cool until I saw the military guys working the Charles de Gaulle airport carrying them. I was severely disappointed in how cheap they looked. Theirs were beat to shit, so maybe a fresher example would’ve impressed me more. |

For some reason, I find the X95 to just have "it" as far as the cool factor and fancy 1911's scratch that itch for as far as pistols go. Who knows, maybe I'll get over the X95 once mine comes in, but I doubt I'll ever get over my love of 1911s.

View Quote Came to post this. Otherwise, in no particular order: - Springfield Krags - Many early semi-auto pistols (like the Borchardt, Luger, Mauser, etc), before JMB showed The Way. - Sig AMT |

Dardick and Gyrojet, WA2000 gets a mention too. Basically anything rare and expensive. There's a reason that uninteresting guns are the most popular.

All variants of the matchlock.
Here's my matchlock arquebus, based on a 16th century Spanish arquebus. Attached File |

Expensive shotguns, double rifles, and beautiful bolt rifles.
I like one-offs, experimental stuff, and most of the weird/rare stuff that is on Forgotten Weapons. I also appreciate the advancement of arms dedicated to a particular role. It's neat seeing the progression of DMRs, Sniper Rifles, etc from the last 20 years. As a precision rifle competitor, I find it interesting seeing the progression of equipment in the last 20 years as well. I own, and appreciate, the utility and convenience of modern stuff, but it is neither interesting or neat to look at. |
