We shall setup an ICE luge in his honor.
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
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'.
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.
This is true, but as most self defense people will tell you, it only takes a small hole in another person to stop them worrying about much more than "oh damn that dude just shot me".
Even worse with shotguns whose shells are protruding. But aguila makes a mini shell that would work pretty well.
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.
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.
Absolutely. They are stickup weapons, you pull them on someone on the other side of a register. The dude behind the counter will still shit himself.
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.
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
Gustave read my Christmas list!
¡Yo tambien!
G... gary? Boy, you've... changed. Thank you...?
Thank Mr Gustave
edit: wait, thats a gun not a dildo
We ride at dawn boys!
Gustaves a chill guy
Wait… They were still making station wagens in 1995?? Lol i have no memory of that..
Other companies still make them in Europe lol
Yea, but we mostly call it a kombi or an estate car.
Kombi is mostly used in Germany, estate in the UK. In my ex-soviet corner of Europe we don't use Kombi despite the fact that the Moskvitch Kombi was a thing and was a wagon. We call it an "universaal", and an MPV is a "mahtuniversaal" (so universal and volume universal lol). People who aren't car people will call them pick-ups though. Which I hate.
Wagon is the most universally understood variant* IMO. Though not usually station wagon.
* Yes that's a VW joke. I owned a Passat Variant at one point. Worst car I've ever owned, though that's not saying much, I've owned a bunch of excellent cars and that one I got for 800 euros.
Nice to know
Here in Poland we call it Kombi and VW Passat is our stereotypical boomer car.
And I think in Czech Republic and Slovakia they call it Kombi as well.
I like where this is going. Do they keep it up in season 2?
