Because common finishes don't come in white. And they're harder to keep pristine, like a white car. Just get a white cerakote if you want one so bad, it's not hard

guns get dirty. White things display clearly when they're dirty. Same reason you don't wear white work boots.

It is beautiful, but most guns come from places that don't appeal to such a small market. Most people like it to be inconspicuous or blend with the earth in all seasons and most weather conditions. I think it is fucking good looking, but there is no real demand.

In other words, having a continuously clean white gun shows what a responsible gun owner you are.

contrary to common assumption, white on a car actually hides better than black. its easier to see imperfection on a black car

if you want me to stay germane to the topic at hand, its easier and cheaper to make guns black

>the reason a car gets dirty is the same as a gun

It is. There is a higher contrast between a black finish and scratches or dirt than there is with a white finish, whether it's gloss or matte.

>pristine

Look at holster wear on black guns and ask yourself how much of that would show up against a white finish.

Obviously no gun that's just been shot is going to be "pristine".

>>30213062
do you have a ten year old xbox 360 or wii controller?
no amount of cleaning will make it white again

Except you can disassemble a gun into its individual components and clean them separately.

>>30212915

You honestly want to know why? It's because hand-oil will ruin the finish worse than if the gun were black. Of course, you could just get a white gun with a black grip, but that's going to look like ass in 99% of cases. They are certainly beautiful guns, but unless you plan on wearing gloves every time you shoot (certainly a viable option, especially if you live in a colder climate,) it's just not practical. Not to mention that, you know... white guns are more easily seen than black guns, especially at night, and especially under a full moon.

Guns that were made to look futuristic look great with a white paintjob.

AUG A3 in white looks gud.

AWM in white looks gud.

Everything else is pretty much shit. Esp OP - that shit gave me seared retinas.

It's not the cheap-ass plastic that vidya controllers use, though. It's high-strength and heat resistant polymer, it's a whole different class of material.

>>30215610
>high-strength and heat resistant
doesn't make it any more stain resistant

>>30212915
As someone who's owned a white gun, they become black guns if you actually use them.

Might as well buy airsoft if you want something to hang on your wall.

They're all designed to get carbon off the surface of metal or get buildup off the plastic. You'd want like a Mr. Clean eraser.
