one of the most simple and reliable semi auto rifle, proven to be so on the face of the planet is the butt ugly AK-47. I also agree with the grease gun being simple and ugly and reliable as far as a machine gun goes.
I was just curious about the hi-point Seemed like it was the first time seeing them and they were all ove this show for under $200.
I still don't know how to justify buying one but I might just have to make me an unjustified purchase.......
BTW anyone that says they like the Hi-point I don't think you are going to convince ole Mac up there that they are anything but ugly Junk. I mean the man's signature says it all. When All Real Rifles have 2 barrels you are looking at someone with very refined taste and deep pockets. LOL
