Someone here or on rec.guns posted about a 2 or 4 ga. shotgun. Percussion
cap, IIRC. So big and long, it took two guys to carry it.

Like shooting sitting ducks.


Har! I guess the Brits _can_ still have a spot of fun, after all.

This thread has me thinking about rereading John Ross' book
_Unintended Consequences_ again. Lahtis and 4-bores, anyone?



This year..early..will be a VERY good time to read that book.
So you know what and who to do when the time comes later in the year.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
