Most useless weapons ever made.

[Black Dog]

This is not really gun control related but since all the gun people pro and anti are here, why not?

My submission is the .50 BMG 3 shot revolver...

Just a guess... a strong grip contest ... and to make a BIG hole in nearly any common target. Y'know..like those pesky elephants that stroll through the back 40

What don't you like about it? Only in the movies does it take 66 shots to knock someone down. I bet that just one shot from this monstrosity would settle any disagreements.

This is what I carry.


I've never lost a fight.:roll:

Yes. Just keep it simple.

Yea never know when I want to take down a rhino or two, and break my wrist at the same time!

Yea that looks pretty useless. I mean considering you could use a shotgun or semi auto pistol for better effect. :roll:

ok that limits some of the stuff i can bring up.

oh i know one, the Chauchat machine gun.

It's a French machine gun that was fielded in WW1, and didn't work.

I've shot 44 magnum and I have no temptation to shoot anything heavier out of a handgun.

50 BMG just isn't meant for handguns or handgun purposes... that's just a show-off piece.


In the modern firearms category, I'd be tempted to vote for "The Judge" revolver by Taurus, which can fire either .45 regular handgun rounds or .410 shotgun rounds. My son thinks its cool and wants one, I think it is a gimmicky bit of nonsense.






.45 acp, all well and good... but .410 shotgun shells?? As shotguns go, the .410 is an anemic shell whose best use IMO is shooting snakes and rats.

American Derringer and Winchester market .410 bore 000 buckshot with 5 pellets in 3-inch (76 mm) and 3 pellets in 2.5-inch (64 mm) shells,[3][4] compared to 12 00 pellets in a 3 inch 12 gauge, 9 pellets in a 2¾ inch 12 gauge.

So if you get buckshot pellets suitable for self defense, the .410 won't throw many of them and the short barrel won't help much with velocity or pattern... yet the .410 is considered a challenge on moving targets by skeet shooters.

I just don't see much use in it.


Now back in the old days they made some really odd combo weapons of dubious utility...

this weapon was a light machine gun designed by the french around 1915. it was lighter then most machine guns in its class, it weighs 9.5 kg, but it was considered among the worst designed machine gun in world war two. It had a infamous reputation for jamming, and it was even prone to self dissasembly under prolonged peirods of firing, if parts were worn.

also it was not just used by the french troops, but the french provided u.s troops some of these guns in world war 1 because we lacked machine guns of our own.
here is a site for some more info

from this point of view you cannot see the open slots of the magazine. which are large, ..it allowed large amounts of dirt to enter, and making the weapon unable to fire.

I like the names it spawned though. First there was The Judge, then The Public Defender, then the Circuit Judge. All cool.

Those are .45 Colt's, which is compatable with the .410 not the .45 ACP. fyi...eace

I use to have a Derringer 2 shot kept a .45 Colt in one chamber and .410 birdshot in the other...

 

[LaMidRighter]

Not really a picture worthy thing, but anything in .25ACP, you'd do more damage throwing dirt at your attacker.

yeah that was well made but it was way too finicky for real use in real field conditions. the magazine was an abomination

any sort of dirt and it jammed. Of course, in the next war most French weapons were never fired and dropped only once

Nock Volley Gun



A flintlock with 7 barrels bored at .50 caliber. The center barrel received the initial charge and the other barrels were ported to ignite off that one. The result.....7 rounds of .50 cal ball all going off more or less at the same time. It would have sucked almost as much to be behind it as in front of it.

I use to own a Beretta .25



Fun little gun. Put 5 within 1" @ 25 yrds. It will do what's needed. Stove-piped something fierce though...

I got one in 22 short. its the ultimate backup. Jimmy Cirillo used to carry one. someone asked him what he could do with such a wimpy little gun. He stuck it in the guy's face and said

SHOOT YOU IN THE EYEBALL SIX TIMES
