It certainly does not hurt a gun’s popularity when it is good-looking. It is hard not to covet the elegant art deco curves of a 1903 Pocket Hammerless or the futuristic swoop of a Whitney Wolverine. However, many firearms are not beautifully engraved or perfectly sculpted, yet they still have a lot to offer. Whether it is an impressively functional Kel Tec curiosity or a mag-dumping MAC 11 gun, keep your eyes open for these fascinating, effective, weird-looking guns.
The Supreme Plinker – Kel Tec CP33
Kel Tec seems to do two things really well—make weird-looking guns and make really innovative, surprisingly reliable guns. Both of those things are certainly true of the Kel Tec CP33. That is because the Kel Tec CP33 comes out of the box with a quad-stacked magazine that delivers a 33+1 capacity of 22 LR. It also features a back end that sticks out inches behind the grip and an AR rifle-style charging handle. Combine all of that with a lot of real estate for accessories and a threaded barrel for mounting a suppressor, and you have got the ultimate in tack-driving plinking fun.
(Very) High-Capacity Rifle – Calico Liberty Carbine
So, 33+1 in 22 LR is some game-changing capacity for a handgun, right? While that is certainly the case, how about a submachine gun (SMG) chambered in 9mm with a capacity of 100 rounds? That is what the Calico M960 brought to the table in the mid-80s. It managed that kind of staggering capacity in an SMG by utilizing a top-mounted helical magazine. This innovative magazine system fed cartridges to the action sort of the same way a vending machine delivers a bag of chips. However, it also made for a very odd-looking SMG that ejected brass from a bottom port. There was also a period in the ‘80s and early ‘90s when virtually every sci-fi movie featured a Calico M960. You can buy a Calico Liberty carbine today operating on the same principle and offering the same capacity.
Extreme Long Range Shooter – Barrett 50 Cal
To be fair, the Barrett 50 cal is mostly weird looking because of its size and length. It looks like the sort of firearm that should be mounted to an armored vehicle, and they sometimes are. More interesting than its appearance, however, is its performance. You can buy a Barrett 50 cal today that allows you to ring steel from a mile or more away.
Box of Bullets – MAC 11
We are now more used to the appearance of the MAC 11 as the firearms family it belongs to has become so popular. However, during the initial launch, the MAC 11’s resemblance to several connected boxes was certainly something new. The fact that this box of bullets could empty a 32-round magazine in less than two seconds is certainly notable as well!
