Wait… They were still making station wagens in 1995?? Lol i have no memory of that..
Thanks Gustave! I'll be throwing a Costco rotisserie chicken in the lake at 11:23 pm everyday as an offering!
this meme smells like cigarettes and mold, and I just know there's a casette tape of metal music in the car
G... gary? Boy, you've... changed. Thank you...?
Thanks Gustave, in payment you can eat as many ICE agents as you can fit, in perpetuity.
We shall setup an ICE luge in his honor.
I'm no expert but as I understand it, a longer barrel adds more velocity/pressure to a firearm. Cutting a barrel that short would probably put the velocity in the range of 'kind of sucks'.
I wouldn’t exactly worry about range of a firearm with a barrel cut so short the ends of the shells stick out.
Its more about the velocity. A barrel is needed to 'shoot' a shell. If you took a shotgun shell and hit a hammer onto the primer to set it off, well it would be a mess of pellets, but it wouldn't fire with lethal velocity.
It decreases the need for accuracy when used with shot. In a longer barrel, the shot will expand in a relatively small cone. Coming out of a short barrel, everything in the general vicinity in front of you will get little damaging pieces embedded all over their body.
Without much velocity/pressure from the barrel, the pellets are only getting propelled from the primer alone. This short would throw the pellets in a wide area but it would likely be Nerf gun ranges.
You're spot on. Also, the spread would be stupid. You'd be lucky to land a single pellet on me at 15'.
SOURCE: Have dozen shotguns.
Even worse with shotguns whose shells are protruding. But aguila makes a mini shell that would work pretty well.
Merci Gustave
Seen a guy do an LS4 conversion on that very body back in 2012, wood paneling and all.
I only heard stories about it, but it apparently surprised the hell out of a lot of pony cars in that area.
We ride at dawn boys!
Gustave read my Christmas list!
¡Yo tambien!
He gets me.
if the barrels are too short it will ruin the shells, not only that, but the pellets or the slugs won't go where you want them to go.
It's a one time use melee weapon.
Keep your expectations low.
Melee weapons don't launch projectiles
"Melee" as in it probably has a shorter effective range than an average spear
Something like that isn't made to have accurate aim beyond "forward somewhere", nor is it made with reusing shells in mind.
if the projectile(s) you're firing don't go where you want them to go then they're wasted
whether it's a single slug or multiple pellets
Again, with a weapon like that some will go more or less where you want.
only if you're firing from point blank range, but maybe not even then.
There's only so many pellets in a 12 gauge, with bird shot there's a lot, but birdshot doesn't do much damage, with buckshot you can only fit about 10 or so pellets into 12 gauge, but then there's the variable of how long the shell is and how big the wad is
if you want a shotgun to totally annihilate the thing in front of you like it happens in a video game, that's just not how it works.
you'll be able to put a big hole in one enemy, that's it. And that's if you've got a certain length of barrel and you're close enough
Thanks Gustave
Gustaves a chill guy
