Something different...
Just came across this today; thought you might like to see it. Here's a pic and the description that was attached to it. That's all I know - never even heard of KUGS.
John
THE KUGS FATBOY RIFLE HAS AN EXTREMELY SIMPLE AND QUITE A STRONG DESIGN THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN A VARIETY OF CALIBERS UP TO AND INCLUDING THE .50 BMG. THE ACTION IS LOCKED VIA A LATERALLY SLIDING BREECH BLOCK – SIMILAR TO AN ARTILLERY PIECE. THE FREE-FLOATED BARRELS ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY THREADED EXTERNALLY TO ALLOW INSTALLING BARREL HARMONICS TUNING NUTS. THE BARRELS ARE ALSO USER-REMOVABLE FOR EASE OF TRANSPORTATION AND CALIBER CHANGES. THE LOWER RECEIVER / TRIGGER HOUSING IS MADE OF 6061 ALUMINUM. THE STOCK CONSISTS OF A PAIR OF STEEL TUBES AND A COMPOSITE BUTTPLATE. THE LOP IS NOT QUICK ADJUSTABLE BUT IT CAN BE CHANGED USING DIFFERENT-LENGTH STOCK TUBES. THE OVERALL WEIGHT OF THE CONFIGURATION SHOWN IN THE PICTURES (CHAMBERED IN 7.5X55MM, WITH A 720MM (28.34″) BULL BARREL), IS 3.450KG (7.6 LBS).

Rather odd looking isn't it? More like a Hollywood prop for a James Bond type character or the assassin in a spy thriller than a gun you would expect to see in actual use. Always someone trying to come up with something unique............

It has one huge advantage over its competitors: It can double as a croquet mallet.
