Flamethrowers aren't considered weapons and are legal to own, though against the Geneva convention to use on people. Really, though, they aren't considered weapons because they aren't very useful as weapons (compared to say, a shotgun or rifle or pistol or a even a bow) unless you happen to have a guy with a machine gun in a pillbox who is in your way, they're not terribly useful.

YES, PLEASE.

Also, why do the authorities always wait until the city is over-run by mindless zombies? The first time someone turns into the undead, you drop a nuke on the city, update the maps, and pretend the whole thing never happened. You don't wait around until a multi-ethnic foursome show up with shotguns, witty banter and a love of stock cars and carnival rides. No, you go Fat Man on the fuckers ASAP and score an easy 57 hits on YouTube with the video.

HEY! Don't roll your eyes at me -- this at least twice as sane as anything Donald Trump's shit out in the last 48 hours!

This is obviously pansy high roller poker. As soon as the hand was revealed, chains and knives and pistols should have been produced by all the players. At the very least, the dealer should have a sawed off shotgun duct taped under the table.

Nobody knows how to make good TV anymore.

It looks like Call of Duty with an excess of blood and guts. It looks like Bethesda the saw the popularity of BrutalDoom and decided it was solely the gore and over-the-top fatalities that made it so loved.

Then again, its difficult to tell what is in-engine cutscene and what is actual gameplay (for instance, the "grab the shotgun" bit is almost certainly a cutscene) so it is probably to early to decide if the video is in any way indicative of the actual gameplay.

I'm playing this game at the moment. It's actually really good fun.

After hearing this conversation, I was actually going to let the grammar nazi live, because goddamnit, he's right.

But then I remembered in addition to being a grammar nazi, he's also a nazi nazi, so I blew his legs off with a shotgun.

Love the nutsack swinging shotgun sling. Very tasteful.

That's what they'll look and sound like when they are coming to get you.

This should be turned into a competition between flyers and shotgun clubs.

I wonder what the shotgun does to the weight balance of the AR? Does it even matter?
Anyone who actually knows about such things want to chime in?

I wonder how long the seal between the barrel and drum holds.
With your normal household revolver the gasses escaping from there are quite dangerous, scaled up to a shotgun shell wouldn't want that so close to my face.
That being said I undertand the burn velocity of the propellant is probably lower than that of a revolver cartridge, but is it significant?
Any Videosift Munitions/Firearms expert wanna school me a bit on that?

After reading a bit more, it's clear what is going on. This is a striker fire mechanism; the firing pin is not driven by a hammer, but by a spring, in-line with the cartridge. This mechanism is used in many weapons, but it does have a couple possible failure points.

If the spring is missing or is the incorrect tension, the striker may ride forward into the breech where the cartridge is at and when a round is loaded, may cause a slam-fire. This is mostly seen in semi-auto rifles or military ones.

The second failure point, and the one that seems to be the most likely here, is a faulty trigger disconnect. This feature is supposed to disconnect the trigger action from the striker assembly to prevent this exact thing from happening. I would gather that it's not working correctly.

Funny side note, up to 1975 some Winchester pump shotguns were designed this way on purpose. Called Trench or Riot guns, they were intended to be used this way to clear areas of hostiles rapidly by simply holding the trigger down and pumping the action as fast as possible. In fact, the model 1897 Trench gun was so feared by the German soldiers in WW1 that Germany threatened severe punishments to any American soldier captured with a shotgun.

Yeah, probably. I would guess that's more likely a manufacturing defect with that particular shotgun. It's too wrong. Of course, that doesn't excuse Winchester's obviously inadequate quality control.

Talk (officer one was just starting to try this)....then Taser/pepper spray....then shotgun bean bag/rubber bullets....THEN deadly force.
That simple.

As long as my 15 friends with rifles, shotguns, and pistols pointed at your head come with me, and the instant you start to point the rifle at a person they get to fire, then fine, name the date and place, I'll be there with bells on to get to taser you and 'detain' you afterwards. This guy only pointed his weapon at himself, and only fired a single shot directly up....like a warning shot...a thing cops have apparently forgotten exists.
If you need 100% guarantee of safety in your duty, you should NEVER be a cop, or even be in public.
It's funny you always take that position that cops should be able to kill with impunity instead of taking the slightest risk to their own safety, for instance you often say they should never even try tasers even with massive backup because tasers MIGHT not stop the person, so they should just shoot to kill instead if there's ANY risk to themselves (or if they think they can make up a risk...'he grabbed my taser' comes to mind), and you also take the position that cops have this incredibly dangerous job and are all 'brave little soldiers' we should look up to...which is it?
