Hilarious Gun Fails
 

I don't know if this type of thread exists but one gun sticks in my head as a factory fail. Feel free to add your own... it may be a custom one-off or a production gun.

What struck me about this one is you can actually find good reviews on it. It's a kind of "gun salad" with a mixture of all sorts of bizarre parts including a type-III ak-47 receiver, a AKS-74U dust-cover, an atrocious bipod mounted in a weird place, a MISSING rear sight and cleaning rod. LOL. Probably the most poignant factory fail of all time.

Anyone else know of any?

PS Check out the reviews!!! (on Airsoft GI)

I call it the Dragunot

did you mean a thread like this?

Wow that's just painful

LOL awesome. Thanks!

edit: not as much fail as I was anticipating. But good nonetheless. Not "JG" material!

I had one of those!

I hope you burned it :P

Sadly I remember a time when abominations like that were the best 'dragunot' you could get... some kind of mishmash of AK parts with a stubby ak mag in the wrong caliber (7.62x39 instead of 7.62x54r). People don't seem to realize that a dragunov is more of a modernized SVT-40 than it is an AK.

Kyberpass gun....

Dude, those SVD AK thing stocks were super comfy. I'd rock one on an AK if they were easily available.

this is painful to look at

Got one, and love it.

Agreed, most likely Khyber-Pass gun. Only one such gun is known to exist in a UK pattern room, and likely the single example from which any photos have been sourced from. Supposedly a mix of Tula AK and Chinese Type 56 parts.

Still, not sure if hilarious gun fail, if a single example IS known to exist, and the LCT is a fairly accurate representation of that one, by most accounts?

Especially considering the CYMA effort, which i would consider a bigger gun-fail - no evidence at all that the AKMSU existed at all in this configuration! CYMA released this version, before LCT released their version.

Any of the number of ARs that ship with folding stocks annoy me. I've been the odd one with a short buffer tube before the folding section which would be long enough for the bolt to telescope into, but most of them wouldn't function.

That's just the gun from Half Life 2. :D

There are a few on the EE right now. Have at it.

That first gun has a rear sight...

It has provision for two! I hope it has at least one. The one from the trunnion is missing.

I REALLY wish there were pics of the old CYMA springers we used to get. They were like $30 and super super cheaply made. I remember I had a full size sig552 that broke down into three pieces. CYMA is so much better now LOL

Back in the early 2000s they were available on eBay stores for next to nothing from Hong Kong. They were cheap enough it didn't matter much if they got seized, which they often did (back then they were technically illegal to import). Tru-Mart was the only way to get legal guns.

They were clam-shell specials. Like this:

should be legal to import it's not a replica of a firearm....

spent a bit too much time on CGN lately? xD

It took me a while to figure out why you said that. Now I realize we don't call it the EE here lol

I find it totally appropriate that this thread is called hilarious gun fails, and so many AK variants have been posted up. Just makes sense is all.

Hahaha, haha.

Yeah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's not fly off the handle here. lol

Dude those cheapos were so kix!

I had a shell ejecting springer AK47, all plastic from Both Elephant I think was the brand, shot like 500fps too, good times!

Shots fired.

Hah I was always interested in those wierd little space ARs. Not so much even the gun, more the thought process that led them to produce them. Kinda comfy too if I remember correctly

Thats not a space AR, thats a fish

This


Actually, I believe it was called a dragon? I also remember it being based off of a TV show or something. Probably anime.

thunder maul! also an anime or cartoon i think. Probably anime, it looks futuristic and overly complex, must be Japanese

JG Thundermaul
S.T.A.R. Dragon

gun fails?
S.T.A.R - everything to do with them

the one pictured is a bastardization of a bastardization, the thundermaul is just grey, this one was like Evike special or some shit, barracuda or something? cause guns should be painted like fish, right?

The whole point of the Masada is that it can be converted to use different calibers. The problem is that the airsoft version is stuck with proprietary 5.56 bulgarian ak mags xD

Prime example of the tacticool mindset at work.

There's the LR300...

An airsoft gun that freely goes from 6mm to 8mm. lol

Doesn't matter, it looks best with P-mags.

I wish the ACR had've been what it was supposed to be. I don't see why they went through all that trouble to make a modern rifle, and then stick with 5.56 rounds. Overall performance and reliability trump bells and whistles.

Don't you love when Airsoft companies get "creative". xD

Probably to go for the Military market that already owns a crap tonne of 5.56 rounds. Look at what a flop the Knights Armament PDW was? All because it used a different caliber.

Isn't that a legit civilian import (US?

Still the only gun in the world with a forward assist as far as I know.

Most engineers would have just changed the design to get around the basic flaws so you've got to hand it to the Americans for refusing to change and spending decades trying to engineer a way around the problem.

Like Porche putting the engine in the very back of the car.

Never admit your mistake!

The charging handle on an AK is a forward assist, if you push it forwards instead of rack it back. Gotta love KISS

That's a stretch.

The Sumoi M31 was made with a non-reciprocating charging handle.. no forward assist because it was reliable.

this can't get more fugly as much as this

Interesting certainly lol pretty good cheek weld I bet...

It has a bridge for matchbox cars!

Huh, does that thing have two ejection ports or am I just seeing things?

If I had to guess, the top "ejection port" is where a charging handle might go - especially since it's not in line with the barrel, and because the rest of the receiver is raised behind that "ejection port".

One for semi, and one for burst. The full-auto ejection port is on the other side. lol.

o_O


Seems legit...

wat.

What gun is it based off of? I need to read about this...
Sounds like whoever engineered that was a fan of Rube Goldeberg.

True story! Pull the trigger, trigger pulls the bar, bar pushes the sear, sear releases the hammer, hammer hits the firing pin, firing pin hits the valve knocker, valve knocker hits the output valve, bliss ensues!
What hurts most is that something about it...calls to me. It's so ugly it's pretty!

Looks to me, they tried to replicate the g36

Well when you read the background it seems it's not a fail at all. It may not be very attractive but any port in a storm.
