    In your opinion, whats the worst firearm ever invented?

    The hook is, you have to explain way you rank it as the worst.

    It can be anything, shotgun, rifle, or anything that goes boom!

    I've got one of those. Sorta inherited it back in the ban days. Only have one mag for it and never shoot it.

    Although it did get shot a lot in the 90's and never failed. In fact it was the first "assault weapon" I had ever fired, and it was what got me hooked on evil looking weapons.

    Early number 03's were dangerous, any of the zinc pistol that allow for one malfunction before cracking some part internally, the ross rifles that could be put together fatally missing one part (1905??), etc...

    Not because it jams or doesn't functionally work, but because it endangers the lives of any one carrying one that expects a .410 Shotgun shell to be even remotely effective in a self defense situation out of that length of barrel.

    As proven in another thread when Granpa blew off his daughter's boyfriend' pecker and he was still able to run.

    Type 94 japanese pistol.





    - butt-ugly
    - crappy grip
    - fired a seriously underpowered cartridge
    - totally unreliable
    - could go off just by touching it (see that exposed long zig-zag shaped piece of metal on the sencond pic? Was the lever that connected the trigger to the sear and released the firing pin. Just touch it and the gun goes "BANG")

    Gunslinger for the win.

    The Japanese Type 94 had it all.

    It was a terrible design that would fire if you squeezed the sides.
    The disconnecter didn't always function and the gun would fire partially open and unlocked.
    It was made of substandard steel, possibly iron.
    The quality of build was about as bad as you could get. (Look at the smooth finish).
    It was awkward and clumsy and hard to hold onto under recoil.

    American GI's in Europe got Walther's, Luger's, Mauser's, and Sauer's as souvenir pistols.
    GI's in the Pacific got this monstrosity.

    One should not confuse bad design with poor manufacture. Any design can perform very poorly when it isn’t built right (Hesse AK’s anyone?). When considering a question like this you should consider the design itself rather than the guns that were actually made from it. The Tec-9 is a good example, there is nothing inherently wrong with the design, it was the quality of Intratec that makes it such a poor weapon. Had the Tec-9 been built by a company like Glock it would be a much more reliable piece. The Japanese type 94 and French Chaut Chaut are different stories, the design is flawed, no level of quality can make up for the engineering in either one.

    Since the question is which firearms are the worst invented quality should be disregarded and only the design should be considered. Focusing just on design flaws I think the Ross straight pull, Type 94, and Chaut Chaut (mentioned above) are all top contenders.

    When I first saw this question I pondered it for a good bit, really there aren’t that many bad designs out there, since the bad ones generally don’t come into production. Truly horrible designs are pretty rare.

    Actually I enjoy shooting mine. I double hand grip it and I hit everything I aim at. It's impractical, but fun and (cheap ... well it WAS) WAIT, DO YOU HAVE ONE? I'm curious. or do you just hate it because 'thugs' like it? Well thugs here like cheap pistols and (surprise) sawed off double barreled shotguns.
