Worst POS I ever had was an AR7, I think mine was a Charter Arms.
It's one of two guns I've ever gotten rid of, and the only one of the two that I never felt any regret over getting rid of.

The F-4 Phantom II is the standard of excellence that all modern fighters are measured by. Sign on the wall at the factory in St. Louis.

I shot one of the first Marlin XL7 when they came out. Myself and a few other reviewers' thought the action was much to rough. Marlin may have fixed that in the current crop (at least I hope they did), but it certainly felt cheap.

Remember the Smith & Wesson revolver chambered for the Remington .22 Jet?
Every time it was fired a big fireball would erupt. The bottle-necked sloping cases would set back and jam the cylinder after three rounds or so. The velocity advertised was 2460. The velocity chronographed was 1760. Shortly discontinued.
Not to mention Ruger's single shot cowboy-looking pistol chambered for the funny little .256 magnum cartridge.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

And made at one of the GM factories, IIRC. Somethings never change.
It took longer to cock and fire it than it did to load it. GM also made millions of other weapons and vehicles which helped us win WWII. Why the need to bash GM? It's not a need and not exactly a bash. It's just there are some striking resemblances to what is being stamped out in their factories today. Now, you could apply this to Ford or Chrysler, but they didn't make the Liberator, so it's irrelevant.

Ford actually made thousands of Liberators.
The B-24 type though.
The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea.
I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

I have a Spanish "Destroyer" in 9mm largo. It is kind of like a Charpay puppy, so homely it is cute. Straight pull bolt gun used by the Spanish Home Guard. It is about the power level of a 30 carbine. I took it as payment for reloading a box of once fired 30-06. I am still not sure if I got taken on that deal. My cost about $8.00 in 1980.
I should dig it out and post a photo.

Clerke .22 revolver. Buddy had one 40+ years ago and the front sight fell off on the 4th shot but that improved things.. We never found out where bullets hit, past 7.5 feet, using an old full size sheet of plywood for a target. We did KNOW that it shaved bullets. Ouchy! (proper technical term for pain)

Total POS. Was 30 years ago but it's still too painful too talk about.

Chauchat? Well they were designed at built at a bicycle factory!  Actually in 8mm Lebel they functioned relatively well, as long as you kept the abundance of mud (that was present all over the front in France), out of the ignorantly designed open magazines. It's when they tried to convert them to 30-06 that the problems began! My addition to the list would be the Ross rifle....I was suprised to see a Ross sporter for sale on the used rack at our local Cabelas! Talk about a liability concern! Kaywoodie

Randy One came into my uncles gunshop for repair some time back. After looking at that thing for awhile I think you got had on the $8.00 you've got in yours.

Laffin'. Saw that on Guns of the World. It had to build up velocity just like a rocket, so was quite worthless at short range.
Would just bounce off if someone was standing close.
