The Firearms Blog is way too large and successful a publication to be considered a mere "blog", just as freerepublic is far more than a mere blog.
But the use of the term Blog in their name made inclusing in the blog category necessary.
This story has a very cool video of the 8 gauge semi-auto guns in action.

That would make a nice street sweeper for riot control.

Great minds think alike.

I need a set up like that for the rabbits in my garden.

How much do these things cost, I wonder? I had never heard of one. They carefully don’t use “firearm” anywhere, so a search is unlikely to pick them up.

When I was in Tulsa, my neighbor had a 10 gauge double barrel goose gun. I thought that was a big honkin’ gun, but 8 gauge?

I believe there used to be an 8-guage shotgun called a “punt gun” that was used for waterfowl hunting. It was mounted on a swivel on a small rowboat.

Illinois Basin coals tend to have a lower ash fusion temperature.
Slag can form in the upper reaches of a boiler, blocking heart transfer in the super heat section.
Thus, a shotgun is often found in the boiler room.

When I was a kid, there was a good-sized, coal-fired generating station a few miles from town. Every so often, one of the employees had to open an access door at the bottom of the stack(s) and "knock the soot out." This was done by essentially crouching just outside the door, holding the shotgun sort of at arms length, firing a round up the stack and getting the hell out of the way as quickly as possible.
They utilized a cheap 12 gauge shotgun, and the grownups who had to perform the task did not consider it "fun" after having done it once.

Once fired an Ithaca Roadblocker. 10 Gauge. I never did that again! LOL! If you want to know what it feels like to be a wine cork and get “corkscrewed” fire all 3 rounds rapid fire....

I like this blog!
Much better than the one that shows how many watermelons you can shoot through with a .50 cal when you dont aim or use a backstop!
To: niteowl77
I’ve heard the shots go off while working elsewhere in the plants. Blanks (shock blast only) or do they load a solid fragible clay or salt load above the powder ?
