The shotgun is illegal for civilian use, but I will tell you that to hit a jackrabbit on full run across a desert at 80 yards, all you had to do was aim in the compass direction and a wall of shot would go out. "Rabbit, due East.. .BAM!" Dead wabbit.
Yeah, I remember the .357 days. You knew you qualified at the range. You didn't have a feeling left in your hand after 180 rounds...lol...
