gnoahhh,

TRUST ME, my old "Lupara" stopped many an ugly "bar brawl, out on the county line", when I was a Texas City Marshal in the 1970's. W/O firing a shot. = A "sawed-off" 12-gauge DB looks like a howitzer from "the business end".
(I never shot any living thing with the "sawed-off" except a rabid stray dog.)

yours, tex
