I get that they used a designer for style...but why do they make beautiful cars and bikes, then hire a car or bike designer and end up with fugly guns?That's an easy answer dude, same designed of that Italian bike as the rifle.
seriously. They hired a dude that came from designing cars and bikes and got him to design pistols, rifles and shotguns. The first point for him to consider was style, not function. Look at the wonderful Beretta 9000, then the CX4 Storm, then the PX4 then this.
Of them all at least this the ARX100 actually doesn't look too bad. But they could have trim lined it a bit in a few areas.
New CGN rule:
If you wish to call out any gun as ugly, you are required to post a clear photo of yourself.
This is so that we may show the photo of you to our guns, and have our guns rate you.
I am somewhere in between:
"Fark! I would rather be smelted down than let that neanderthal fondle me"
and
"OMG, he's so awesomely awesome, I'm getting warm all over"
But the G36 was perfect.

If you want a budget rifle made by expensive labour......like volkswagen Golf!
I wonder if they will have a heavier DMR type of barrel available (or if the design even allows it).
Yuk! that really is fugly.

If you look closely , it's not the top but the belly that's looks like a pregnant AR.
But none the less I want one NR real bad. Waiting patiently.
