.45 inches... the average diameter size of a typical anti-gun reporter's brain.

EXACTLY!!!

[BikerTrash]

...or even "exception"...

Sheesh!

[null and void]

Gauge is the number of lead spheres the diameter of the bore that it would take to weigh one pound.

The smaller the diameter, the more lead spheres, and the higher the gauge number.

A .45 gauge would be (and I'm guessing here) about 2-1/2" to 3" diameter.

[Billthedrill]

But wouldn't a larger gauge mean a smaller pellet?

Size doesn't matter. It's how (snicker!) you use it...

"a loaded .45-gauge, semi-automatic handgun"

Be on the lookout for a man with every bone in his right hand, wrist, arm, and shoulder completely shattered.

[Larry Lucido]

LOL! Numerical sequences have always been a problem for me, too.

I'm not sure I ever want to fire a 10 gauge, btw.

[Larry Lucido]

Thanks.

[Larry Lucido]

So the 1-gauge would be a pretty bad-ass weapon, I take it. :-)

[BikerTrash]

A 1 gauge would be fairly bad-assed...yep.

FWIW:

10 gauge = .775 inch, 12 gauge = .729 inch, 16 gauge = .662 inch, 20 gauge = .615 inch, 28 gauge = .550 inch.

I've fired an 8 gauge. It was turret mounted and was used to shoot material buildup (goobers) off the interior walls a rotary kiln used to dry pulp. I was doing some construction services at a pulp plant and saw a trash bin with huge fired shells. I asked the operator what he used them for. He showed me and let me shoot it. It was a blast. BTW, a 12 gauge shell will easily fir inside the empty 8 gauge shell.

[Nasty McPhilthy]

Damnitboy!

[Bogolyubski]

(Yes, I figured that was what it really was, too. I was just making a comment on the complete ignorance of the average MSM "journalist" about firearms.)

The Indian was the only non gay member of the Village People.

Just thought I'd add that.

[Jrabbit]

He should have been arrested for that stupid song a long time ago......

If you can handle a 3 inch magnum load in a 12 gauge, you can probably handle a 10 gauge just as easily. The reason for this is most 10 gauge guns are heavier than twelves, (be warned, not all).

As always, the amount of pain inflicted on both ends of any given firearm depends on projectile weight and velocity/powder charge.

Wow! I never cease to be amazed.

[King Prout]

what the hell is a ".45-gauge, semi-automatic handgun"???

using the gauge system of bore calibration, where the gauge is the number of rounds required to equal one pound of shot...

that'd make each shot from a ".45-gauge" equal about 2.2 pounds or one kilogram.

what the HELL is this thing? a 30mm cannon???

< /sarcastic analysis >

boy it'd be nice if reporters knew $#!+ from Shinola.

[beaver fever]

Here's another one for you.

He didn't know the Village People was a gay group until he signed on to the recording contract.

He was mighty pissed when he found out but he couldn't get out of the contract.

It sucks to be an attractive, talented, hetero Indian in San Fransisco.
