I agree. The "cool" factor really outweighs the "practical". It is just dripping in cool.
That said, I do think if it had a laser or laser-light on something like the GG&G mount at the end of the mag tube it may put the semi-rational part of my brain at rest.

Yeah something like that or the Magpul Forend would let you mount a laser. I've never really used a laser but that "center mass" one they make now would probably be easy to pick up on target.
