I ran across this today:
A used police riot shotgun, well worn. Pump, of course. Think Steve McQueen in The Getaway.
And I says to myself "Velociman, old boy, you need that thing."
The cops use fancier shotguns now, but that one appealed to me. Olde Schoole. So close to being sawed-off I'd need a willing girl to let me shave her to find the two hairs requisite to attest legality.
Anyway, it's only good for zombie work, unless I decide to take it on job interviews, it being so portable and all. I figure I could lay it on the desk at the beginning of the interview, and tap it gently on occasion as I speak to my bias for action.
Step up, Insipids. I don't ask for much. Make me happy.
We be slow dancing some juju on that one brother...
Down fucking town

Posted by: Velociman at January 30, 2008 8:09 AMThat scene where he disables the police cruiser in the original Getaway is a classic. Great McQueen movie. And I'm still in love with Ali.

Posted by: james old guy at January 30, 2008 1:03 PMNothing like the sound of a round being chambered in a pump shotgun. Music to my ears and the sound of an old '97 was operatic. One of my Uncles hunted with one for years. Looked like sh*t having been hauled from duck blind to duck blind for three decades but many a mallard fell to it. Fine shotgun.
Posted by: Tbird at January 30, 2008 4:21 PMThe Win 97 is a fine scattergun, it is. Two issues: use light loads, the action can't take heavy loads. The action also wears over time, requiring mods to keep the hammer from following the slide down as the action closes. Exercise caution. As always.
Posted by: og at January 30, 2008 5:53 PMGet a gunrack in the Blazer... see who "test drives" it then... There's that whole voice command "destruct destruct destruct" deal you ought to have workin' in that thing for when your rig is abducted by aliens... Ever heard of "On-Star"?
Probably digs holes faster, and a helluva lot easier than a shovel. I'm just guessin' on that one though. I could be wrong.
Get you an interview with an ol' gun lovin' boss. You'll get hired despite your obvious over qualifications.
Posted by: RedNeck at January 30, 2008 9:34 PMOh baby, I just came...what a beauty. Love the hammer. Pull the trigger, and hold the hammer back from falling with your thumb, and when you find something worth your leaden seed, point it one-handed and let slip the hammer...
Oh, hold me Montremorte, I spend...

Mexicans will break your window for just the gun rack alone. Savages.
Posted by: JohnB at January 30, 2008 11:14 PMHold the trigger down, and pump away.
Loud, lovely 12ga sweetness, every time the slide racks fully to the fore. Slam-fire, it's called.
Uncle Sam issued a variant of that gun, the orignal Trench Broom.
Clean Sweep, bruddah.
