Sawn-off shotgun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A sawn-off shotgun or a sawed-off shotgun is a type of shotgun with a shorter gun barrel and often a shortened or removed stock, compared to regular shotguns. The sawn-off shotgun also has an infamous Mafioso reputation in Italy, where, reputedly, the "Lupara" (sawn-off) is used to kill offenders who have broken the Omertà. Sawed-off shotguns tend to have a highly romanticized reputation in the United States, much like the IMI Desert Eagle, and are often termed "wrist-breakers" by professional shooters due to many naive new shooters' misconceptions that they are easy to discharge one-handed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sawn-off_shotgun   (753 words)

Shotgun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia During World War 2, the shotgun was not heavily used in the war in Europe by official military forces. Shotguns used by military, police, and other government agencies are exempted from regulation under the National Firearms Act of 1934, and often have barrels as short as 12 to 14 inches (305 to 356 mm), so that they are easier to handle in confined spaces. Pump-action and self-loading shotguns are categorised as Class C and Class D firearms with both pump-action and self-loading shotguns being prohibited from legal ownership among the majoirty of Australia's licenced firearm owners (with exemption to farmers and professional hunters). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Shotgun   (6071 words)

little.red.boat: Comment on Bang bang The officers involved had been told that he was carrying a sawn off shotgun, which I think (although I'm not an expert) is a fairly indiscriminate weapon that does horrific damage. So based on the information they have, their choice is to wait and see if it *IS* a sawn off shotgun, and possibly get themselves or someone else shot, or shoot first. Since clearly table-legs are extremely dangerous weapons requiring instant blowing off of the head for those wielding them, perhaps the solution to the problem of all the Metropolitan police handing back their permits to carry guns is to arm them with table legs instead. www.meish.org /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/megp/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=12217   (578 words)

UGO.com Games - The Arsenal - Shotguns - UGO Guide to Cold Winter Usually a regular shotgun that has been modified by an amateur, a sawn-off shotgun is lighter, more maneuverable and easier to conceal than a traditional pump-action. The shorter barrel means that the weapon's shot spreads much more rapidly than usual, giving it less range than the other shotguns, but a far wider area of effect. This giant metal stick is also an effective melee weapon, and the collapsible stock makes it nice and concealable (so the bears you naturally use this to hunt with won't suspect anything). www.ugo.com /channels/games/features/coldwinter/shotguns.asp   (296 words)
