To me it'd probably be a Luger
To you probably whatever has a safety and feels good in your ass

>>32965961
>Luger
Shit German weapon that jams every 3 minutes.

only if you are a retard that uses the wrong ammo

>>32965601

Ruger no 1.

>>32966023
>wrong ammo
a good gun should be able to run any kind of ammo

>>32966111

Yes my Remington 870 should have an attachment to fire 120mm Abrams rounds.


I am not joking.

>>32966111
most guns will have problems to cycle if you use underpowered ammo.

toggle locks aren't anywhere near reliable and are/were a dead end in smallarms tech

the locking block action of a p38/beretta 92 is much more elegant and worry free if you want to jerk off to teutonic engineering.

A typical browning tilt barrel is leaps and bounds ahead of toggle locks, which is why it is the most common delayed blowback handgun design.

That's just your opinion

I am convinced beyond absolution that the people who designed the Luger and mass produced it were infinitely more adept at designing quality firearms than you, troglodyte.
Using good ammunition and taking good regular care of your firearms will provide you with a reliable gun. Fuck face.

Seems legit.

If the design is so beautiful, why don't you have a picture?

The Arisaka Type-38 rifle is one of the simplest bolt-action designs ever and also immensely strong (though most of that is due to the high-carbon steel the Japanese used to make them).

Hi-power

>Japanese
They might be simple, but they're also shit.

Simple is one thing. But how about the elegant part? I offer you the Browning Buck Mark. Back when Earth was filled with flocks of unicorns and I was a young un going to ranges to qualify for my shooting certificate, the range would lend us noguns worn out guns and I would consider myself happy whenever I could use one of these Buckies. We'd refer to them as bicycle pumps, for reasons.

In terms of just having no parts and being super simple?

The Sten.

I don't think it's "elegant" in that there's some genius design that makes it only use a few parts, so much as just "extremely simple"

>>32969540

The upper one? Yeah sure. But that is a Ruger. Couldn't find a good pic of the lower one. They used to be on all the ranges here so I was surprised pics are hard to come by now.

Here's an old classic with nice lines - the FN Browning 1922. They were used by a lot of European armies until ww2. And because Belgian the Germans used these during ww2 as well.

>>32971096
The lower one is the Ruger mark 3

Well, damnit. You are right. My brains are more addled than I thought. Adding a pic of the Ruger Standard, just because. But now I need to find that Browning.

Stop watching so much shitty TV and pick up a fucking book you idiot.

You've never cycled the bolt on one before, have you

>>32971417

This is a sexy motherfucker though, no matter it's reputation.

>>32971432
Well let me be clear
They were durable. That doesn't mean they were the easiest to use or the most accurate.

>>32968496
The Arisaka rifles were the one thing the Imperial Japanese got right, equipment wise.

>>32971432
I have. What's the big deal about it?

>>32971432
I have. It's easy if youve ever actually cycled a bolt before.

>>32971439
No, no it isn't. The machining on the gun is horrendous. The whole gun looks like they simply took a flywheel to it and said fuckit, then shipped it out. Almost 2 or 3 millimeters of fucking blank space between all of the parts, gigantic dirt traps for the ages. And the ring on the back, which was simply spot welded on. The whole thing is fucking disgusting, from its workmanship to its design.
