Title: Seven Foot Long Shotgun Barrel!!!????
Post by: JohnJacobH on September 13, 2007, 08:52:38 PM
Okay, maybe someone can explain this to me.

Is this a typo?

 If not who makes these things and boy, howdy, I would sure
like to see a picture. Google has squat  I can find so far.

Because we would hunt Saturday near condos (or whatever), we would use Wendell's "long guns," or shotguns outfitted with 7-foot-long barrels.

Heavily ported, the barrels hush a gun's report, making it sound more like a loud handclap than a typical 12 gauge blast.

The barrels aren't heavy, and the guns swing easily. Christy and Nicholas would have no problems.

A metro tube.  A kind of suppressor for a shotgun (but do not need a ATF approval).  The tube is lightweight and they make 'Metro' shells that are subsonic to help reduce the noise

Yeah, we have punt gun on display at our local museum. First time I saw it I thought it was some kind of 18th Century
Storefront decoration.
