I am finally a man!

[Krosigrim]

Hmm Shotgun. A prefered weapon if hell ever broke lose. Especially against zombies. And the best part... options.

 

The capacities are based on a 70mm length hull.

 

000 Buck - 8 lead pellets (0.36")

00 Buck - 9 lead pellets (0.33")

0 Buck - 12 lead pellets (0.32")

1 Buck - 16 lead pellets (0.30")

4 Buck - 27 lead pellets (0.24")

QB 8 - 8 pellets (Armor Piercing) - Quadrangle Buck is made from a steel cylinder cut into two layers of four pie-shaped pieces per layer. The numerous sharp edges gives excellent penetration; however, the light weight and poor ballistic shape limits its effective range.

Flechettes - 32 flechettes (Armor Piercing) - Flechettes are essentially small steel nails with tiny fins swaged into the rear. High penetration.

Slug - Slugs will pretty well flatten any target, armored or not; however, the issue of over penetration will determine whether you want to take the solid or the hollow-point slug.

Slug HP - Hollow-point slugs. Less penetration than regular slugs.

CS gas grenades - Combat shotguns can be used to disperse tear gas and similar chemicals.

Bean bags - Bean bags are used as shotgun ammo in crowd control situations, as in most cases they stun the victim but do not inflict lasting damage.

Rock salt - Rock salt is a popular home defense ammunition because it reportedly causes severe pain but usually no permanent damage.

Baton - Rubber batons. Used for training.

 

Now thats all official. This is where I come in... you can use a shell loader and put anything you want into the cartridges. Although, that would not be recommended. heh. Here are some I have found mentioned.

Avenger: Hollow steel balls with a low gunpowder load. Short range and low recoil, with low penetration. Could be useful in a situation requiring low penetration, such as home defense. Semi-nonlethal.

Bird Bombs: An explosive payload, which (in theory) detonates on impact. Roughly equivalent to an m80 firecracker.

Bolo: Two heavy slugs connected by piano wire. Was once known as the garrote slug. While impossible to aim, the wire becomes a very hazardous blade at muzzle velocity.

Bouncer: Two zytel (nylon) balls. High muzzle velocity, very low penetration. Semi-nonlethal, like rubber bullets.

Chain reaction: A 6-inch length of chain. Impacts in a rather random pattern.

Comet: A regular shotgun slug with a red tracer.

Detonator: Essentially, a hollow lead slug with an explosive tip. It's made with for the purpose of filling with your own explosive or other payload, which then detonates on impact.

Door buster: Tiny lead pellets, approaching lead dust. Impacts with full force, but over a larger area, with very little penetration.

Dragon's Breath: Yes, these really do exist, and yes, you can order them for $16.98 each. White phosphorous that ignites upon being shot. Creates a 100-yard flamethrower that burns for about three seconds. Contrary to popular belief, this does not damage a smooth-bore shotgun.

Fire siren: A small weighted whistle. Incredibly loud at muzzle velocity. Wear ear protection.

Flash bomb: Like the bird bomb, above, but using a flash-powder incendiary instead of an explosive one.

Mini Missile: A solid lead slug with a steel core. The lead slug peels away on impact, driving the core through hard targets (like armor.)

Napalm: Like the Bird Bomb, above, but filled with white phosphorous, which burns very hot upon impact.

Pit Bull: Six big lead pelletes, and one big slug.

Shredder: A lot of sharp tacks. Short range, but high trauma to flesh.

Smoke bomb: Essentially, the Dragon's Breath Round, only using a smoke powder instead.

Super flare: A shotgun-launched flare.

Yea... options. Anyway I just found this... interesting page. heh

Wow...I didn't know there were that many types of ammo for one gun. I dig the Dragons breath rounds. I could see myself having wayyyyy too much fun with that. Heh...I'm somewhat of a pyro.

I was recently audience to an infamous IRC argument debating the nature of people who like guns. It was decided that gun lovers are rednecks who live in the south and have no education. It was also decided that anti-gun lovers are zit faced geeks who sit in their basement on the computer all day.

 

Way to be a redneck Gryph.

I wonder how many there are of balanced mind. Guns suck. Id rather face a melee opponent any day... even a ninja. At least I stand some kind of chance. Kinda hard to side step a bullet. The only reason I even consider owning one, is to protect myself... mainly from other that do have them. Or riotters. Or zombies. Or at an AC/DC concert (HATE)

 

But also... shooting fire/ nails/ chain out of a shotgun is badass.... admit it.

Yeah I agree (especially about the AC/DC concert). I mean, I personally believe that using a gun is showing a bit of cowardice. It takes anyone to simply wiggle a finger and shoot a gun. If I'm going to have the gumption to take someone's life, I'm going to make it more honorable. Yes...honorable. Doesn't exist much this day in age but I think if you're going to kill, you should put a bit more effort than pulling a trigger. Of course, using a gun on someone who has a gun would make sense. I can't see myself running and stabbing them with a sword before taking a few bullets. A bow & arrow would be more efficient only if I was able to shoot from a place I wasn't seen.

Technology debases honor?

 

From my perspective it can be a true statement.

Good for you Gryph. Glad to see you are executing your constitutional rights. I have shot everything from a 22 caliber to a 60 caliber. My favorite gun is my 7mm Remington varmint special. I use this till kill pesty ground hogs and to compete in shooting contest. Thought there is nothing like shooting a 9mm glock that I have. My favorite shotgun is a 20 gauge Ithaca that I had modded to shot all five rounds in 3 second. Got a sweet trigger and no kickback. Gotta love them gas operated shotguns. Yes I use it all fall I hunt a lot. Yes I kill animals but I eat them as well so shot me. So keep it up and shot everything you can get your hands on. Nothing like it for a real rush without damage to the brain unlike drugs kiddies.
