Here’s a light-hearted question for a beautiful Friday morning. What are the most visually beautiful weapons ever created? I was gonna ask for your top 5 or top 10, but, really, why limit ourselves? ANY weapons count; notice I’ve counted warships on my list. I hope I haven’t listed all the best. Have at it, gang. Tiger tank 1911 .45 1921 Thompson BAR 1851 Colt Navy revolver M-60 and/or MG-42 Any ship of the line circa. 1770 – 1815, such as L’Orient.
Ugly guns need love, too.
Thompson submachineguns with the 50-round drum and wooden stocks, P-51 Mustangs, katana swords, Colt Navy revolvers, Turkish bombard cannons...
She’s all weapon.
Here’s a light-hearted question for a beautiful Friday morning. What are the most visually beautiful weapons ever created?
Sig P210
ancient Greek xiphos
Scottish claymore
rolling block rifles
basic 1911A1, (without most of the modern sissy stuff additions)
Whatever I have on hand when the inevitable civil unrest comes
That'll do for now.
Did you have to change out the barrel on that 75B?
Hopefully a post recall model.
I liked mine so much, both of my brothers and one neighbor purchased them for plinking and pest control.
Beretta had mine for two weeks, came back better than new. On par with my Ruger MK1’s.
I’ll add-
Ruger MK I, II or III’s
Springfield 1903A3
Ruger Super Blackhawk
I got an extended threaded barrel from a company out west. Took me under 6 months to do the FBI crap, but took almost a year to get the barrel. They said they were backed up with mil contracts.
Kukri, Supermarine Spitfire, Des Moines Class Heavy Cruiser, Avro Vulcan, Clovis points, long bow, Viking long ship, small sword, Arkansas Toothpick, Pennsylvania Rifle, F-104.
I could go on for a while. Men love their weapons and can commit as much time to aesthetics as to function.
P51 D
Visually beautiful. And the sound!!
4” S&W Mod 19 revolver.
Browning .22 semi-auto rifle.
P-51 Mustang
Supermarine Spitfire
You mean, like the F-4 Phantom II?
RIFLES!
Pennsylvania long rifles
Hawken rifles
Henry .44 rim fire
Win 1866,
Win 1873
All other pre 1964 Win lever actions. (The marlin rifles look too shad bellied)
Remington Rolling Block rifles.
Sharps cartridge rifles.
Springfield 1903 and A-3
M-1 Garand
Mauser 1898
Enfield Jungle carbine
M-4
AK-47.
Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.
The F-4 Phantom II was a US NAVY aircraft that the US Air Force WISELY ‘Adopted”.
Ursula Andress did it first in THE TENTH VICTIM (1966)
A nice recurve bow, a la http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/pse-talon-recurve-bow?a=1083994
Colt 1878 Coach shotgun.
Luger P-08 (pure sex in metal and wood)
Thompson M1921 or M1928 (with drum magazine of course, what can I say-I love old gangster movies)
You’re not very much into Bond films, are you?
