12 gauge for small buildings
« on: December 21, 2006, 07:37:00 AM »
For those of you who don't frequent the Rifle forum over at THR, here's a ... well ... it's tough to describe. You'll just have to see for yourself what can happen when you are a machinist with some extra time, you have some very warped friends, and are slightly nuts.

Back when that thread started, I was so amazed I had to print out a picture of that round.  How could you not want to try it?  grin

How hard is it to re-attach retinas?

I was under the impression this weapon weighed 25-30lbs. That'd soak up a lot of the felt recoil. I think.

Funny, when I opened the thread, I was expecting a short shotgun for defensive use in small buildings.  No idea we were talking about hunting the actual buildings.  When are they in season?

(And I suddenly realize why I may not post my question about .38 special ammo over at THR.  Not manly enough to be worthy of their time to reply.) grin

Chris, given the round that the thread is about, even 88mm dual-purpose might be considered "not manly enough"...
