Someone with a 6 shot, sawed off shotgun


Huh? How "sawed off" could it be with a 6 round tube under the
barrel?

The reality is sawing off the barrel does not change the pattern all
that much once you lose the choke.

A 10" piece of 3/4" Sch 40 galvanized pipe doesn't pattern that much
different than a 26" skeet gun. It is just more ragged around the
edges.


I figured it spread the pattern a lot. The old Ithaca car gun was supposed
to a wide spread shooter. Put the wad with a pin in the middle, and may
increase the spread also.
