Stupid Short Shotguns

[Badenoch]

I guess you are not aware of all those professional hunters in Africa using double guns, they are less prone to jam, have a faster follow up shot and they are fully aware that you are not likely to get a 3rd shot if the dangerous animal is coming at you.

Probably not a good idea to attack another legal firearm, heck, a 14in pump is a pretty stupid choice by a lot of people too.

I've spent time in South Africa and Namibia and know a several PHs. Not all of them use doubles but the ones who do use doubles with barrels much longer than 10" and they don't carry them in a backpack.

Looks illegal in length!

They are sure as heck not using an American pump action.

I guess all those large bore handguns are useless too.

Apparently not

Sub 26" OAL restriction only applies to firearms when this is reached via folding, telescoping or otherwise. Since the SS-211 has a fixed OAL and is not a handgun, it is therefore non-restricted. FRT# 194951-7

Pump shotguns of the 18" to 20" variety are generally used there for security and sometimes anti-poaching patrols.

I mean, they could make any gun shorter with a hack saw.

I thought I made a reply to this comment the other day, but I may have gotten interrupted before pressing the post.
What I wanted to point out was that there is a bit of a difference purchasing a shotgun that is manufactured with a short barrel, and actually taking a hacksaw and cutting the barrel short. When you cut the barrel short by hacksawing it ( under 18") it becomes classed as a "prohibited firearm." A manufacture firearm that maintains the overall legal length with a shorten barrel, doesn't appear to have that problem.

You don't stop hunting because you grow old. You grow old because you stop hunting.
