Coolest/Ugliest Weapons V5 - Bullpup AKs are the best - General

[QUOTE=Riller;43182102]It'd be so much cooler if it wasn't Swedish...[/QUOTE] [img]http://www.imfdb.org/images/e/e5/FNC_REM_Sporter.jpg[/img] Yeah.

[QUOTE=asteroidrules;43185244][img]http://www.imfdb.org/images/e/e5/FNC_REM_Sporter.jpg[/img] Yeah.[/QUOTE] Well, the AK5's handguard is super-cool looking, and it's mags look pretty neat, if not a bit cheap. Just.. Y'know. Swedish. Gross.

[QUOTE=asteroidrules;43185244][img]http://www.imfdb.org/images/e/e5/FNC_REM_Sporter.jpg[/img] Yeah.[/QUOTE] That handguard is ugly as fuck. AK5 masterrace

[QUOTE=arthuro12;43180686]Now I've found this one.. apparently it's a Lichtenauer.[/QUOTE] Correct me if I'm wrong but Lichtenauer was just a 14th century German Fencing Master who's work and tradition/lineage is probably known as the most famous style of German Longsword besides Talhoffer and Meyer who based his longsword off from Lichtenauer anyway albiet with modifications. Of course there were types of longswords fencing masters preferred e.g. Fiorre vs Meyer's preferred specifications for longswords but a 'Lichtenauer' sword doesn't make much sense. Not historically anyway since they're pretty much longswords. Is that sword a recreation from Pavel Moc? That would make more sense if a modern sword smith applied specific names to their weapons instead of calling them "weapon no. 3 with Oakeshott Type XVa + hilt based off from X found in Y and now held Z museum".

I like pump shotguns more to be honest

The Sjogren also entered production in 1907, A-5 had been out for a good 2 years at the time. The two guns also used different operations, Browning used long recoil, Sjogren had inertia recoil. Also Sjogren himself was Swedish, just the manufacturer was in Denmark.

Here's another one, sadfully I don't have much information about it other than it being based on a German sword from the 1500's.

Ah renaissance era longswords are friggin' stunning. It's funny since I always had this fixation of medieval/renaissaince arms and armour just before they fully went out of style. Longswords were going out of fashion during the 16th century and so was plate armour. I suppose it's because, in a way, they show off their very best right before they go away. And yeah here's info on that sword: [URL]http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=20478[/URL] Custom made sword from 'Arms and Armour' and supposedly it's one hell of a recreation.

Just look at these magnificent bastards. [img]http://paintingandframe.com/uploadpic/gustave_jacquet/big/departure_of_the_lansquenets_or_german_mercenaries_serving_france.jpg[/img] Truly epic.

It's definitely a very unique zweihander/two-hander/greatsword which supposedly belong to Pier Gerlofs Donia, a man so strong that he could effortless bend coins with just his fingers.

I couldn't lift that no matter how hard I'd try.
