What gun would be the Britney Spears of the gun world?
(IOW, cute and sexy but annoying and stupid)
Any takers?

It's cheap, it's near-useless (.25 auto? Come on...),
and... ummmm... it's... it's...
PINK!!!

To answer your queston, I'm torn between the S&W 360 Airlight (revolver with
a silly atom logo on the side and way too little weight for the kick of
..357) and the Beretta 3032 Tomcat (tiny, easily concealable gun that has an
annoying tilt-up barrel). Both are cute and annoying.

If this isn't trolling I don't know what is! But I'll have a shot at
it.
It would have to be something insubstantial, not usable for protection
or marksmanship or even plinking. It would have to be carried by
someone for the wrong reason: Cause it looks cool to have it. I'm going
to vote for an "airsoft" type of gun.
I'm not interested in them myself, and under the right conditions I'm
sure they make a fine toy. But, under the wrong conditions the "cute
and sexy" ones would, I'm sure, be "annoying and stupid."

Lugers. incredibly well-made, look cool, feel good in the
hand, but too muzzle-light to do really good shooting with,
and horribly finicky and unreliable.
I am sure it is overpriced in the U. S. but what is wrong with the AUG?

Easy one. Gyrojet. Looks good, yet can't sing 'a lick'.
High maintenance. Yup. . . . just like Britney!

Don't you mean groupies?

One more gun is just enough, maybe.
On a bad day, you will see a gun which incorporates 2 or more of the above
features.
It will be nickle-plated.
The guy next to you on the range will be trying to teach Britney Spears to
shoot with it.
Just thinking about this makes me tired.

Have to disagree with you here. Both Airsoft and paintball markers (the
good ones, not hee cheap-ass $30 ones that break after 3 shots) can be
valuable training aids. County just south of here bought a bunch a few
years ago to use for training for courthouse security. Set up airsoft
"live fire" exercises in the court rooms - some guys from the local gun
shop got to go in and play the "bad guys". Trigger pull can be kind
of sucky, but teh weight and sights are the same.
LOTS of DoD security detatchments have bought them, as well as Real
Action Markers (.40 cal paint ball markers), to use for training. The
Real Action Markers have the weight and feel of real M-16, M-4, MP-5,
etc - they even take real AR replacement parts and accessories.
What's wrong with Brittany Speers? ;-)

The worst case of "I think I'll teach the lil' lady to shoot" I have
come across is the nimrod who (claimed) his brother had mounted the
scope on his M-77 in .308 (not a bad round to start someone with,
really). Seems his brother didn't sight it in. So nimrod and his GF
(who had never shot before) were having to hold offsomething like 9
inches right and 8 inches low to get it in the black at 100 yards. And
from standing, no rest. I forget how it came about, but he offered me a
shot with it and told me about the hold off. I took it back to my lane
(I was using a 26 X 40 parent sheet of 80# cover stock with a 5 1/2"
shoot n' see target dot so I had LOTS of room to see where they hit),
fired one, adjusted the scope to point of impact, fired one more to
check it, and made another few clicks of adjustment. Then I sat his GF
down at my lane, and from a rest she put a 5 shot cloverleaf at about
4:30 just outside of the 10 ring. She asked "Am I supposed to do that?
They weren't all in the center?" Nimrod looked embarassed, she looked
pleased when told that, yes, that was what was supposed to happen.
"Gee! This is so EASY!"

I thought annoying and stupid were stipulated?
Let me throw in not especially attractive and untalented.
She's sort of the Beretta 92 of "entertainers".

Aren't girls great!

As to the rest, you must live in a REAL bad neighborhood.
