We often have aesthetic conversations about how beautiful a rifle is but not the other way around. So, this thread is dedicated to those rifles that are hideous to one’s aesthetic preferences. Do you know of a rifle so ugly it could get an award, for ugliness? Vote!



For me, this was hard to decide. I nearly thought the Benjamin Bulldog, but then I remembered Hatsan had this beauty:

For me, I think the flashpup takes the cake in ugliest airgun. My second pick for ugliest would be a Crosman NP2 Stealth with that hideous barrel:

 L What rifle do you think is ugliest?
 
Anything in the Air Force line... but they shoot good enough.

I tend to agree on that one. Personally I just like a gun that looks like a gun. 

For my vote, and don't get me wrong, I really love my Daystate rifles, but again I like a gun that looks like a gun. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, and to me this red is just butt fugly:

I nominate this ugly beast that is being sold on A.A. Has to be the ugliest rifle I have ever seen! No offence to the owner, but this rifle needs to be neutered to get his balls snipped! 😂 Here is the ad...



Philippine Eaglet Valiente, CO2 bulk fill, 30.5" OAL, weighs 3lbs, 15.7oz., only one of two imported, this one fitted with a ball reserve here (USA), about 35 shots per fill,

For a couple years after the Korean made Shin Sung Career II 707 super-magnum PCP became popular I resisted getting one based on tis bizarre rendition of the lever-action near and dear to the hearts of most American shooters. This despite all glowing reports about previously unheard of performance; power and accuracy (to previously unheard of airgun ranges). I finally overcame my superhuman aesthetic sensibilities and, holding my nose, acquired one. That was nearly a quarter century ago, and it continues to amaze me to this day. 

Matter of fact, my Korean hunting rifle continues to amaze the finest, most advanced and expensive PCPs modern manufacturing and marketing can produce to this day... by beating them (all) on the fields of competition. Not to mention what an incredible hunting rifle it is. My old (unregulated) .22 Career recently shattered the club record in our monthly Bench-Rest Silhouette competitions against the finest PCPs made. We shoot 1/10 scale (airgun-sized) silhouettes at 40 to 100 yards in real-world outdoor conditions on a course notorious for gusty and tricky winds. For perspective, the 77 yard turkeys bodies are about the size of a quarter. The old record was 34/40; the new record 38/40. 😳

And while I don't consider the Career THE ugliest airgun, I do consider it the ugliest, highest-performing airgun.

Bahaha. The engineers are talking and one says to the other, “well we could just skeletonize it,” and the other guy says, “like around the barrel and by the butt pad? Conventionally light! I like it!” Then the first engineer interrupts, “No, no. I was thinking more like over the whole gun. Like, all of it. Yeah kinda skeletonize it, but make sure to cover everything so that you can’t even really tell it is a gun. Think metal.” The second engineer responds, “where we are going, we don’t need beauty.”
