Ugly Gun Sunday

You know, a break open single shot shotgun has it's purpose. Such firearms have long stood behind the door of the impoverished person, protecting their home, and not infrequently harvesting a squirrel or a rabbit for the stew pot. There is nothing ugly about that, in fact, it's an honorable, thankless job for a firearm.

What is ugly is this. If pistol grip M-4 stocks were as great as many folks believe, they would be on the shottys of trap shooters everywhere. There is, however, a remarkable absence of the collapsable stock on the shotguns of professional shooters. Perhaps this is because the stock is a compromise for use with or without body armor. Still, it looks uber tackticool, as does the M-4 heat sheilding forend and fiber optic sights grafted onto this one shot marvel.

But hey........black plastic is not tackticool any longer, it's commonplace. So after attaching a bunch of dischordant crap onto a decent shotgun, somebody painted it up to ressemble a coral snake, scales and all. Red on yellow? Kill that fellow. Where's my hoe?
