-> Shotgun : S.P.A.S 12 with the folding stock.

 Looks like the SPAS is the runaway winner in the "ugly" and "menacing"
categories.


 Like many people, I first saw one when Arnie brandished a SPAS-12 in
"The Terminator."  My buddy Jay liked the looks and promptly bought one.
Remember the scenes where Arnie is waving it around one handed?  It's a
helluva heavy firearm, right?  Turns out the folding stock has a nice
little "carry handle" which, when folded out properly, makes a hook that
goes under your forearm to hold the barrel up.  With the hook,
one-handed theatrics are easy, even for my wife.  And given the weight,
it's easy to shoot one-handed too.  (even for my wife)

 Next time we saw "The Terminator" we sniggered a bit about the
bodybuilder guy with the cheater hook.  Then we noticed that Arnie
wasn't using the hook - he REALLY WAS waving the thing around like a
balsa wood prop.
