What's the sorriest gun you've ever shot?

Like the one you took a few shots from and you just wanted to hand back to whoever it belonged to, or were ashamed that it was you? Inaccurate, unwieldy, uncomfortable (but unrewarding too), and the like?

I had to think kinda hard on this one, but it would have to be my friend's wife's Beretta 22 that jammed constantly and I don't think I hit anything with. Could never count on it to be chambered.

A guy I know described an Uzi as the worst gun he'd ever fired due to unwieldiness, discomfort, and inaccuracy. I've never fired one, but find many other carbines/subgun-like pistols more attractive for their price.

the Beretta .22 I shot was stainless and failed to eject alot...It was pretty sorry.
I've shot full auto Uzis...I like the H&K MP-5, Sterling, Thompson, and Russian PPsH better (Russian PPsH was extremely surprising)

S&W Sigma .40. Could not shoot a single magazine full without jamming at least once, with ANY type of ammo.

mark 2 22 to will probably get on me for this, mark 1 22 is the worst piece of ruger crap ive ever shot, the handling is terrible, the weight distrubution is horrendous, the angle of the grip is so bad, i cant hit a dam thing with it, the worst piece of crap ruger ever invented, its badly made, and a piece of crap, besides that its unreliable

Thumbs down

I've seen, held and shot a lot of "dogs" of the gun world, but one of the worst is my buddy's KelTec Sub2000 9mm carbine. Poor ergonomics and way too short a stock, even for the owner who is a short guy, unlike moi. No provision for optical sights, which is compounded by the horrendous plastic open sights. Little or no adjustment in those useless sights either. The plastic Glock magazine is hard to load and too expensive. If you did manage to put a scope or red dot on it, you'd lose it's big claim to fame - the ability to fold.
IMHO - an expensive boondoggle.
It truly makes the Highpoint Carbine look good.

Please tell me you'd think for a moment before shooting a gator inside a boat. Think about it. One of GunGeek's relatives did that with a muskie. Think about it. He didn't.
