I prefer this from Hamlet:

Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be your tutor: suit the action to the word, the word to the action; with this special o'erstep not the modesty of nature: for any thing so overdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature; to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.

In my eyes, those two, although exhibiting exquisite craftsmanship, "o'erstep the modesty of nature." They are a showcase for the gunmaker's talents, but is that the purpose of gunmaking? They are decorative, and no doubt will grace the gun case of some wealthy patron, but do they combine form and function to constitute the deadly efficiency of a leopard or a shark? In my opinion, they do not. I prefer this, which relies on simplicity for its beauty:
