8 worst guns ever!

[Tanner68]

Why didn't he put some homemade zip gun made from a nail, duct tape and plumbing pipe, on that list. It wouldn't have been out of place. Lame.

I thought this was a great story.

The bazooka was such a huge failure that the German's prompty adopted a larger version of it for their own use.

Take it off the list it was a game changing success story!

[westcoast362]

That is just a stupid list!

Well, the sten and bazooka don't belong on that list.

Stens only had issues with Bronze bolts. Firing pin would flatten

As for the 2.36in Bazooka.
It did not have 3 1/2 lbs of HE in the warhead.

Not even the 3.5in Rocket that replaced the 2.36 rocket
had that much bang in its warhead.



I bet he has M1 Garand's and 1911s as number 11 and 12 worst guns.

Well, the sten and bazooka don't belong on that list.

Agreed

The sten was ok for the time

The bazooka did have a big flash behind it but you shoot it off and run away, also decent for the time.

Sten is a cool wartime design, it did its job!

[Springfield45]

Bad list. For one it did not have the Type 94 Pistol. It had a exposed sear on the side of the frame and could fire if it was pushed.

Type 94 Pistol – The Type 94 pistol was developed prior to WWII when the Japanese began seeking an even cheaper (than the Nambu) pistol. However, the Type 94 actually wound up being more expensive. First put into production in 1935, and despite being one of the worse pistols ever produced, close to 70,000 of them were produced.

No mention of Japanese guns

What a stupid list. The sten and bazooka? Since when did the gyrojet "enter service"?

Hell, one of the reviews for the book sums it up


Clickbait trash article based on a trash book written by an idiot.

As long as no one paid any money, I'm ok with it. I for one won't bother with it. Life is too short for filling your head with garbage.

[CALI-gula]

Well, the sten and bazooka don't belong on that list.

Agree; even the Mars and LeMat guns was not as bad as they are claiming, for the time when they were made.

Stupid article.

.

[hermosabeach]

this one is spot on
Chauchat

[Sutcliffe]

pay attention to this man


He summed up the article with one nomination that was spot on. The person who wrote the article doesn't know much about firearms.

[The Gleam]

Willing to bet whomever wrote the article has very little idea of just how many variations of guns have been made throughout history that would make the list look like a "best of" - well, except for the Chauchat.

But what do you expect? It's a dweeb writing Facebook blog style for "BusinessInsider", not a true gun oriented advisory.

He didn't even write it, he just did a copy/paste out of a lame coffee table book.

I would still take most of those over a Glock lol

...gimmie a Bazooka and a Glock and i'm good!
