Meanwhile in America

Wait it wasn't a 10 ga I always get mixed up. It was smaller than 12 I think. whatever it was it was black powder I'm sure and the description said they threw six pellets iirc. It was a nice little side by side whatever it was.

When SHTF, I am going to need something more effective at beta cuck crowd control. Maybe a Saiga-12.

That would be a lot of fun.

It was probably more like a 410 or 16 ga that I was looking at. But here's my question. If I'm correct in assuming this civil war shotgun was black powder did they still use the same gauges we use now? Did they use shells back then? If not would they accept a shell now? I bet they used them back then but I'm unsure when I think about it. Probably at minimum a percussion cap.

Thanks Obama

I'm quite happy with the Remington 870 Express Tactical slide action with ghost rings and full stock for butt stroking people.

AA12 is pretty much the ultimate street sweeper, but I don't feel the need for that volume of fire downrange.

I take my time, slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

The Saiga-12 for when your liberal male neighbors show up at your door to inform you that the community all voted that you are hording your food and should give up your fair share.

When it comes to Russian shotguns, Vepr 12 > Saiga 12

Civil War shotgun would most likely be a muzzle loader. While calibers were pretty standardized for rifles, shotguns were less so. Shotguns gauges refer to the weight of lead you can shoot. A 0.10 pound lead sphere will fit in the bore of a 10 gauge(which happens to be 0.775").

If it's from the ACW, it's probably Confederate. Confederate Cavalry loved them.
