New guns that have "jumped the shark."

[paddling_man]

Jumping the shark. The phrase was coined when the Happy Day's franchise did a run of episodes at the beach and Fonzie, replete in shorts and a leather jacket, ski jumps a shark tank as a stunt. Jumping the shark is now any time all good ideas have been exhausted and, in lieu of true innovation, we get the ridiculous and impractical.

Some gun manufacturers that seem to have jumped the shark. Agree or disagree, post what ya see.

The Mossberg 500 Chainsaw

Mossberg 464 Tactical Lever

Mossberg Roadblocker (I think these were recalled due to pellets ejecting back toward the shooter. At least one series of them...)

How about rainbow Sigs?

Felt like your mancard got pulled for that rainbow Sig. (It did.) Get it back with a full shot of testosterone with a Sig that looks a bit too much your toolbox. Diamond Plate finish.

Whatcha got?

Really? Gunsite did a comparate study (vs. the AK47) of the underlever 25 years ago.

Uncle Jeff called the Winchester 94 in .30-30 the "Gunsite Police Rifle".

Thunder Ranch has had classes dedicated to lever guns. In fact someone here on INGO (someone I may know *whistles*) has taken Urban Rifle classes with underlevers.

Let's not forget all of those "ban era" guns that had to pick and chose their evil features.
Pump action ARs and AKs, single stack AKs, fixed mag ARs, thumb hole stocks, filled in M1a flash hiders, ect.

But the one that takes the cake for me:

Yes that's an OA-93 cut down to less than 50oz to meet the requirements I the ATF at the time.

Glock 17 - plastic guns will never catch on.

Personally, I don't find doing something odd to a firearm to get around idiotic bans to fit in the same catagory as those hideous Mossbergs shown above.

Mossberg 464 Tactical Lever

wow........ that makes me want to sell my Mossberg 500 now and say 10 Hail Mary's.

The only one I didn't puke when seeing was the diamond plated Sig. I just gagged a little.

In the same vein as the Stoeger Double Defense, I present to you the Maverick HS-12:

I know this is sacrilege but after feeling how one of those pointed when I was in Dayton, I kinda want one.
