what's the most useless gun ever

[RevolverRodger]

Deact guns
Norinco and other clone guns have no uses for me

 

[xcr800]

remingtons lame breed of centerfire semiautos

 

[simonsez]

1) Remington Moronx (the one that needs batteries to fire)

2) .22 bolt action with a non-rifled barrel. It is supposely made to shoot those useless .22 shotshell

i never understod why people would want one. part of the allure of guns to me is owning a precision, finely crafted and tuned mechanism. there is no pride of ownership in something that takes 9V batteries.

I need to change my answer. As lousy as the SKS is, you've convinced me that it does have a 'use'*. THIS baby, does not...

*Burning bandwidth

I have something similar, except mines a 2mm pinfire blank gun (Berloque) with a thread on 7mm flare attachment, neat all metal capgun, kits are available to fire a #9 lead ball, only use I can see is scaring the cat.

QUOTE] M-10 Ross
Yes i think the Ross Rifle probly the worst gun man made because back in the first World War the Canadian soldiers were frustraded and refused to used these guns. When they got dirty after dragging them through the mud they wouldn't shoot right they'd jam so they take them down to clean them and if they took apart the bolt and put them together wrong the bolt would blow up in there face and cause fatal injuries to the soldiers. Some people died using this useless piece of crap gun . Friend of mine just received one of these from his uncle and ask me if we should shoot it i told not in million years . I dont know how the bolt stays in place after shooting it pulls back pretty easy not my type of gun.

one gun traders guide and an NRA firearms assembly guide (still can't find the page) I own states that they are unsafe to fire, makes reference to "..interrupted screw type lugs..."

I personally dislike the ruger mini thirties. Never shot one but I just don't see the point myself. I also don't like the ruger semi autos in .44 cal, don't remember the model# right now. It just seems a waste to have a 44 mag with only a 4 shot clip. Don't get me wrong though I'd still buy one even though I'd never use it hunting. I'm also not a huge fan of the savage #24 o/u shotgun/rifle. It would make a good coyote gun but I find the barrel selector awkward and talk about ugly!

my only dislike so far of the mini-30 is sitting in the shooting bench to the right of someone else who's firing it, and forgetting to bring a peaked cap, but since I have never owned or fired one, I can't say much else.

Not really a hunting and sporting gun but I hate handguns. Wouldnt bother me one bit if they were wiped off the face of the earth and replaced with bolt actions.

you should move to Toronto, and become a liberal.

well sonny boy,you got me on my soap box now! Seems the sks prooved extreamly reliable in the Vietnam war. This tiny country full of goat hearders and farmers had black powder rifles and sks riles to fend off the whole U.S army!! and they did just that! sks crapy my @ss. You want a crapy gun,.. look at the 38 webley or 38 enfield. Id rather have a large rock to throw.

at the end of the day, it will be sks's and cockroaches

 

[Wrong Way]

I guess a 44 mag and 7.62 x 39 would be pretty good "bush" guns but I'd rather have the 44 in a marlin lever than a ruger semi auto due to mag capacity (i know i know make the first shot count) I just personally don't like the mini thirty due to the way it looks. I guess most of the reason i don't like the sav 24 is due to me being a lefty which makes the selector awkward. Different strokes i guess. But I'll stick to my bolts for the open and levers for the bush and the nostalgic feeling i get when carrying my 94

Ahhh....but with my semi I can launch all 5 shots faster than you can do two with your lever.....and down here, you don't have that kind of time You see the deer for a couple of seconds, thats it. By the time you cycle the lever, chances are: Too late

The Savage 24's came with two selector positions, the hammer mounted selector is ambi...perfect for the lefties.

Considering where I live, you can only hunt with a shotgun or rimfire, do you mind explaining why this is stupid?

It is stupid. Buckshot has s**tty penetration and at any effective range has a s**tty pattern. No need to use buckshot for big game in this day and age of high velocity sabot slugs. At least use the cheap foster style sluggers.

For anyone that hunts in a shotgun-only area for big game, should spend a few $$ and get a rifled barrel.

 

[jethunter]

My vote goes to the ......you guessed..the crappy sks.......

Shotguns with a barrel shorter than 14", and anything made in China.

It really depends on where and how you hunt. While I don't hunt with buckshot myself, it has it's place in brush where shots on deer are fast and inside 30 yards or so.

Is the M14 a chinese gun? i thought the M14 was pretty good. i could be wrong. i'm a newb

 

[savagelh]

I used to think single shots were useless especially the nef/h and r's until I got one in 25-06 and now It's one of my favorites. And the cheapest gun i own!

Many shotgun only areas in Canada also mentioned multiple projectile use only...which makes the rifled barrel useless at that point.

 

[Joel]

Never used a gun I considered useless yet.

I own bolt, lever, single shot and semi auto rifles and hunt with all of them. Love hunting with all of em. Yes even 303s and SKS rifles and Norincos.

None of em were useless. All of them were accurate enough.

If I had to say a gun I never had any experience with was close to useless...hmmm...

Nazi belt buckle pistol.

Sorry, I was talking about Ontario, and we have no regs that state "multiple projectile only".

A slugger will penetrate brush better than smaller pellets, and shoot faster. Buckshot is a terrible idea, and should be banned for Big Game.

Somewhere, sometime, a particular gun may find a use. Well, maybe not the 710, but every other gun named in this thread...

 

[vstar650ca]

Lot of repressed anger on this board, and sadly, clear indication of no future for firearms ownership in Canada...

I agree.It,s hard enough fighting the anti-firearm crowd trying to take away our freedom of firearm ownership, when the supposedly "CGN brothers in arms" don't respect each others freedom of speech.
