Big Shotgun of Enormous Doom

Hehehe.
But you wouldn't have to chop up the vertical forend. just get one off a rifle.
Anyway. The design for my cartridge is finished, I believe. I can shove 8 of those suckers in a shotgun as small as 15" (for the barrel), and they pack more power and better performance than a 12 gauge at short ranges. The work on that, I think, is effectively finished.
Now to the actual shotgun. Well, okay, I'm gonna go draw it and then go to bed, so tomorrow, I will get to the actual shotgun.
 
I stacked 14 of .36" (000) balls into an Alcan 3.5" 10 gauge hull with a BP wad and a load of powder for a 2 1/4 oz shot charge. But I have yet to work up the courage to fire them in my Coach gun or my BPS.
 
yes but seriously why on gods green earth would you WANT to do this? what practical application could it server other than giving your chiropractor a lot more money from you?
 
Why? Because I can. That's all the reason I would need. Seriously, I "need" this the same way those guys "need" that big punt gun. i.e., I don't. Do I want it? Hell yes! It'll shove a massive wall of lead at anything I point it at, and that is sufficiently awesome for me.
 
you know thats all we wanted, you could said that from the beginning with out being so mysterious about it. could have said " hey how can i make a round that will throw 2lb of lead down range and dislocate my shoulder while i do it just for the hell of it cause i like pain and i can" lol i would have taken that just fine
 
Ah, well, that's really not why I'm doing it. Sure, I want to build the actual weapon someday, but the reason for the weapon is different, and a little weird. In short, it's for a videogame I'm in the process of designing. Now, in videogames and movies and such that I design for the future (I hope to go into media when I'm older), I make sure everything is actually physically possible. Hence, why I'm doing this. Why was I so mysterious about it? The last time I said the word "videogame" on this forum, I was bombarded with "videogames aren't reality!!! Blargityblargblargblarg!" Hence why I held it until I got the information I needed.
 
hell thats damn respectable reason for it then, kinda cool really. A real weapon for a vid game that is also outlandish. Kinda like how the movie shooter has reality as far as the guns go. Hollyworld isn't too keen on reality espesally when it comes to guns, but thats the la la land of the peoples Republic of California for you.
 
Yeah. I mean, I'll look at videogames that I'm playing and I'll point out all the things that are wrong with the weapons on them. I'm going to design media when I'm older anyway, so I just figured I'd get this idea out of the way. It just seems that every time I mention the words "video game" I immediately lose any attention I had gained.
 
i wonder if the metalurgy of line throwing or harpoon guns would be some sort of indicator as to the strength needed...

salty.
 
Oh, I see what you mean. This shouldn't be any stronger than an 8 Gauge (which I know is very strong), and I couldn't see it really approach the power of a 4 Gauge.
 
I hate to have to splash the icy water of reality over the flaming bonfire of imagination here BUT....

Many folks require a good bit of training before they are effective with a mere 12 gauge semi auto. Deploying the fine bit of free flow thinking shown here would take more muscle than Ahnold in his prime and more training than our military gives.

BTW, in days of yore I got to fire the buck round from a MM-79. The only time in my life where firing something gave me bad dreams afterwards. And I was in my prime and well used to recoil.
 
Sure. I don't intend to build it until I can, and even then, I'll probably fire it from a mount.
And I am used to 12 gauges from a semi.
 
During the 1990s, China Lake Naval Weapons Center was working on a pump-action 40mm grenade launcher. Don't think it got passed the prototype stage, but you could base your shotgun off of that and just use the 40mm "buckshot" rounds in it.

Folks, y'all do realize that Nolo is a kid right?
Click to expand...

yeah so what if hes 16. I"m sure that sam colt was young when he was inspired too, who knows maybe nolo will be the next great gunsmith/inventor its never good to squash a person based on their age.

Maybe in 20 years we will be on this board saying "wow i just picked up a NIB NOLO model 29 in .44mag and 6in bbl, OH MAN its a tack driver !! OMG "

point being you never know.
 
I think he was referring to all those people talking about me building this sucker, which I thought was quite amusing myself.
What you say is true, though. Kalashnikov tinkered with stuff as a kid, and Browning loved looking at stuff.
I would build it if I could, but... I don't think I'd have the courage to fire it without a mount.
I also like to take it as a complement to my efforts at being well-spoken. People listen to you when you don't type like a third grader and when you spell things correctly.
 
Cameron, The Hell is exactly what is going on in this forum. Really, though, I think it's pretty clear. I hope it is, anyway. If you read the whole thread, I think you'll understand.
