Professor Gunnutter's Medley of Psychotronic Doom, Part Two: Shotgun Mania

I really don't know why people always think in KF the couch gun's sawwed off,it does have a barrel but couch guns do have a stock,but its shorter for a decent spread.

Maybe its because people always think "sawed off" when they see a double barrel.

[IggyHazard]

It's hard to tell. I have a side-by-side Stevens that I trimmed. Cut the barrels down from 28" to 18.5" and sanded the muzzles with a disk sander, leaving the barrels 18.25" (still legal). Still want to drill and tap a bead onto the rib. Plenty of coach guns are made with 20" barrels, so the coach gun in KF was most likely made that way. I'd much rather have a Benelli M3 Super 90. All the KF shotguns throw horrible patterns that are waaay to0 lo0se.

killing floor is so beast!!

It's still not as fun as STALKER. If only STALKER had anatomical battle damage.

Hammerless? How does it work? Striker-fired? Also, it pains me to see a Super 90 with it's barrel sawed off like that :( Besides, it doesn't make sense, you'd only be able to hold like what, 3 3-inch shells in there at the most? Why not SBS a Saiga instead? You'd still have full ammo capacity since it's magazine-fed. Wouldn't it be awesome if Stalker had a full-length Super 90, and a Tromix-type Saiga?

[IggyHazard]

Hammerless double shotguns have firing pins that are charged when the shotgun is broken open for loading. The Benelli in ObLost isn't sawed-off. It's short-barrel. And you're correct that it would hold 3+1 Magnum shells (4+1 standard) with a 12.5" barrel. There IS an entry gun version of the M3 Super 90 with a 14" barrel. Standard capacity is 5+1 (4+1 Magnum). Entry guns have stocks.

[Otacon237]

True, but from the reload the Super 90 in ObLost looks like it's 10-12 inches tops. I can see the reasoning behind the top-folder version of the M3, but I think that having such a short barrel severely limits the capability of any tube fed shogun. Why not take advantage of a shortened, magazine-fed Saiga? You'd have the rapid reloads and high capacity of a breaching/CQB shotgun (and light weight). Reloading every four seconds doesn't seem like such a good idea in a gun fight.

[IggyHazard]

Note: Mad Max used a sawed-off hammerless boxlock in the first two Mad Max films. He had a sawed-off rabbit-ear sidelock in Beyond Thunderdome (but only fired it once).

[Otacon237]

What was that Staff-gun that he used when he was with the cave people?

[IggyHazard]

M-1 Carbine with the stock cut off and replaced with a walking stick. No magazines. Rounds were single-loaded into the chamber.

Thanks! I figured you were the one to ask ;)
