There are some guns created by reactionaries which were actually used in based countries like for example DDR and SFRY used Walther P38 after WW2, and that's one of the cooler ones imo.

Yugoslavia repurposed MG42 into M53 which looks cool as fuck.

And imo Thompson is one of the raddest guns, and I'm actually used to it being a nazi exterminator along with PPSH-41 since I grew up with old WW2 movies.

    There's also the "Kraut Space Magic" gun aka the G11.

    The most overengineered gun perhaps ever in mass production. It literally picks up the bullet, rotates it, and then inserts it into the chamber to fire. And it uses caseless ammo for reasons far beyond human comprehension. It is magic because of how infrequently it jams.

    It is also used by the UN troops sent by SEELE to invade Central Dogma in End of Evangelion.

    There are a few but I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the FAL. It's very long and straight, which I appreciate in weaponry and design as those are two qualities I very much lack in my stubby, gay self

    The Jericho 941r is an excellent improvement and evolution of the already phenomenal communist Czechoslovakian Cz75. I would have loved to own one one day if it weren’t for the minor inconvenience of it being designed and manufactured by Israel.

    What about the Walther PPK? I heard there was this guy in a bunker in Berlin who was about to be arrested by the evil communists, but he used a PPK to stop them and he only needed to use one shot to do it.

    I've always loved the g36 for aesthetic reasons.

    Also the UMP IS great.

    Bullpup platforms are cool. I've always liked the FN P90 cause it's so unique but still very functional. Bullpup long guns like the Barrett M95 also just seem more practical. The combination of a shorter overall length, appropriately long barrel, and center of mass closer to the shooter just makes practical sense.

    the CIA's Deer Gun and FP-45 Liberator Pistols are American imperialism in the form of a gun but goddamnit if they are not prole as fuck.

    The Liberator looks like it was made out of a soda can and the instructions inform you that after each shot you have to find a stick to eject the casing.
