The ugliest gun on the face of the earth...

I came across a strange looking little pistol at my local pawn shop. it had come from a police auction, shows wear, & had 4 notches cut in the grips (which I changed out). It is a model 1905, .32 caliber SAVAGE. It has an unusual art-deco ray gun look, & has no screws in it. I had never seen one in person, but it came with 3 magazines, & was cheap, so IT came home with me. After cleaning/digging out petrified grease - I found it shoots very well - Decided I love it, & a keeper. Wonderful little piece of USA history, & one of first double stack 10 shots. Recommended by: Bat Masterson, & Buffalo Bill Cody. WOW !

Not ugly…not beautiful either!
 
I was musing today on what gun I would pick as the world's ugliest. My vote would have to go to the Japanese type 94 Nambu pistol…

Don't you agree? :eek

When it comes to firearms, where others see “ugly” I usually see “eccentric,” “unusual,” “transitional,” or “functional.”

But after spending the past several days trying to come up with a single redeeming aesthetic feature…I’ve got nothing.

In fact, the more closely I look the more ugliness I see.

So, yes. I agree completely.
 
The ugliest handgun I've ever seen is the LeMatt Pinfire Cartridge Revolver.

The ugliest rifle I've ever seen is this Khyber Pass hybrid Martini Henry + M16A2...

The US M3 .45 cal Grease Gun wouldn't win any beauty contests but I have always wanted one.
I just got the honor of shooting a fully auto early model today. So cool but the complete lack of any recoil was kinda let down and suprising tbh.
