Looks like the 16 is gaining in popularity among gangbangers. Here in Reno NV we had a drive-by shooting at a local park where a 16 yr old male was shot with a "Sawed Off Shotgun". This wasn't surprising, what was is that the news film showed a close-up of the spent shell and it was 16ga purple. Even the bangers are becoming discriminating sportsman. Don't know if a SxS was used or not, maybe!

I hope they didn't take a hacksaw to a good shotgun. |

They have been reading this board and the want a hoo ride and a square load.
Translation: Hoo Ride , a group of gangstas in a stolen car lookin for some suckas to roll up on so they can catch the fools slippin.
Square load: the 1 ounce 16 gauge load
Is it obvious I have worked in South Central too long? |

Many guns used by gangs are stolen and often bought for a few rocks of crack. Lets hope it was a 311 and not a 21. Since it was used in a shooting the owner will most likely never see his gun again. |

There is not a dope smoking,gun stealing,unemployed,mother stabbing,father raping drive by "shooter"-do we HAVE to use that word????That's puts all users of firearms in the same lowlife cesspool-that would EVEN know the difference of the various gauges of shotguns let alone be able to identify manufactures |

I think the term Hoo ride would make Dr Suess blanch. Life in Hooville will never be the same.
Hummm. open season on Hoo riders. What gauge is a LAWS rocket? |

That is the new weapon of choice among The Latino Gangs, aka illegals.... All we have to do is ban the 16ga and the killing will stop..
That simple..... |

Thanks Ray, I think the bore diameter will suffice. I've read some John "Pondoro" Taylor and am also a firm believer in using enough gun. This is most certainly not Mr Roger's Neighborhood. Can you say BOOM?!!! |

If I'm not mistaken the inner diameter of the bore would be 2.60 inches.
Considering that the 12-gauge is .740", if backbored, that's 3-1/2 times as much bore as a 12 gauge. THAT IS A BIG GUN! |

well, it WAS designed as an anti vehicle/tank weapon... also a pretty good bunker buster in its day, fairly light and more or less handy. a one shot, throw away fiberglass tube affair. They have some better stuff for that purpose these days, the boys in the sand box are very good with them i hear

I Know that Mattkcc was just kidding when he said the gangbangers should switch to 311's. Actually many of us cut our s/s teeth on a 311 or varient like the Fox b and bse. I still own the first two doubles I bought, both are Fox bse 20's and my first 16 ga. was a 311 which killed a lot of pheasant until I traded it for my current 16- a Parker Trojan. They were somewhat heavy and rather crude but they sure were reliable. Even Michael McIntosh used to hunt with a 311. |
