There's a reason, tommyrot. Brown stops the rain. Grey starts the rain. And white goats sacrificed cause snow.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
But the shot pattern is so wide, if you miss with a shotgun, really, a reload can't help you.
BMECT! :) If you miss, firing again can help, particularly with a tight choke.
Also, for people who can't see the difference easily: if it's got two barrels, it's a shotgun. If it has a sight, it's a rifle.

Another Woot for the pile: I got a small check from USC today. It was roughly the amount that the republicans stole from my tax return.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It is very sad how much I know about the form but not the function of long guns. Or just disturbing.

Shot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If it has a sight, it's a rifle.
I thought some shotguns had scopes. I'm not positive, though.

Occasionally it's referred to as "buckshot."

No, you're right, in fact I think Homecoming had one, though I wasn't positive it was a shotgun. Um, you might use them for turkey. I'm trying to give a rule of thumb.
ETA: also, not all that many shotguns have two barrels, but you won't see a rifle with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is one barrel vs two a rule of thumb? I am a gun idiot.

All two-barrel guns (that are not handguns) are shotguns.

I'm telling you bon bon, you should hang out with my mom. After all, she's got the reloader in the basement.
