I'm sure everyone saw this, but just in case:
http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2011/01...gauge-revolver/ God knows how a 'short barreled shotgun' performs in terms of choke, but we use slugs in 2070 anyway. |

You mean that wasn't the Remington Roomsweeper?

Nope, it's got a cylinder. So it's worse. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

"Remington Roomsweeper: This short-barreled 'shotgun pistol' can be loaded with shot rounds rather than slugs" - SR4A, Page 317.
Ah, wait, the Remington Roomsweeper has an Internal Magazine. Thought it was a revolver, I had an image of something like a short Tommy Gun on Steroids. Taurus didn't check with their lawyers on that one indeed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) |

They need ATF permission to import it for the show (as the factory is in Brazil) so presumably someone thought it was OK. But it's crazy huge.

So the need to overcompensate isn't just a US thing? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

So that's what Bubba had on him when they finally caught him...
Hey, what is Bubba serving time for, anyhow? |

I love this line: "A pistol with the weighst of a steel 1911, the firepower of a Model 686, the range of a can of pepper spray, and the size of a small briefcase?" From http://thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/01/rober...r-the-governor/

I wish I had a steel M1911, a M686, a can of bear-strength pepper spray, and a nice briefcase...

Range of pepper spray and a small briefcase. Wish denied!

It is even already customized to fit into troll hands! Look at how far away the trigger is from the grip. Sure, it is a woman holding it but you'll need really huge hands to fire that thing. |
