There's an important difference between "Unbelievably painful" and "Oh, sorry, did you need that ribcage?"

Heiterverzweiflung. Not a legit German word so much as something a friend and I made up in German class once. "Carefree despair". When life is so fucked that you can't stop laughing.

There is, but the difference doesn't really matter too much if deterrence is your goal, which is what I meant.

Yes but I'd rather use buckshot than a solid slug when I'm wildly firing at something gone bump in the night.

The company, "Cobray", that manufactured these things wasn't exactly known for good design logic, or for politically-appropriate names. The automatic shotgun whose frame this thing uses was called a "Street Sweeper", and had a gloriously Waffen-SS-esque logo.

Twelve rounds of .45-70 in a drum-fed frame originally intended for automatic shotguns. Indeed. Exactly what I think of when someone says "Ladies' Home Companion". Very ladylike, totally not going to break the wrists of everyone even nearby the shooter.
I'm 68% certain that's a .500 magnum.

Google tells me the gun in question uses either .410 or .45-70.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Hit the paywall for Pokemon Picross, the puzzle game I've been playing since I got my 3DS. In order to unlock new areas and other things, it uses an in-game currency called Picrites. These can be obtained in-game through completing objectives in puzzles, as well as a series of quick puzzles that's available every 24 hours(realtime). However, these are single-digit amounts, and the smallest Picrite amount I need to progress is 80. They can also be bought from the Nintendo store with real money, with the bonus that after buying 5000 of them, you have infinite Picrites. I checked, and it's a bit over $30 to get 5000, for what was a free downloadable game.

Not exactly gonna argue on this one. :V Cobray didn't know how logic back then.

Yep. The gun had its own logo, though. Two "S"s, styled like lightning.

Gun manufacturers making references to old-school action figures, you know what, I like it.

Pretty sure it's .45-70. The one in the picture definitely is.
