To be honest, my Benelli Nova is pretty damn ugly compared to some of the old Mod. 12s and 870s I have seen - but it is functional:

Nothing ugly about that at all - I see nothing ugly about a purposeful device whose design directly follows its function.

I love Steyr AUGs! Liberators, too!

Ugliest gun I have ever seen was some type of AK pointing in my direction, Persian Gulf, 1991. Thank you, again, Corporal Keith, for dinging that fella' for me.

Yeah i've gotta agree. I'm a huge fan of any Bullpup design... it makes too much sense.

aw man ... a Benelli Nova tactical is NOT ugly. I know, I own one ... and it looks exactly like yours: ghost ring site, 18.5" barrel, extended magazine, shell sleeve on the stock, the sling ...

hey wait a minute ... I didn't leave my gun safe unlocked again did I ??

j/k ... I don't have a sling on mine, otherwise it's identical. And it is NOT UGLY ...

NAMBU

Imagine getting preped for battle and being handed that? That would have been my first red flag. Between the nambu and their grenades, the japs had enough danger just USING their weapons

"grease this GUN"

i think the m3a1 was very dull looking even w/ its .45cal appeal,it still looks like something an uneducated guerilla put together in his basement..

That "Dardick" is really in a league of its own, isn't it ?
Was it made back when they did'nt yet know how a pistol should look ?
Anyway, I had a glimpse somewhere of a "modern atrocitiy", being I think some kind of polymer-framed snubnosed DA revolver by Ruger (of all people) which would be a seriuos contender for the title.

Last ugly gun that I saw was pointed in my direction and sending lead my way. Not even sure exactly what it was, except at that second the very definition of ugly! The sound of bullets going by my head just emphasized this belief.

All guns are very ugly from this perspective in my opinion!

Coming in second would be any revolver with an external manual safety. Think Heritage Rough Rider SA.
