Honestly? I only want to know this because I hate there being stuff I don't know. Which is an idiotic reason.
It is the Best Reason in the WORLD!
Jesse is nuts.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Me with my dad's 12 gauge. It's a little big for me-- you may be able to tell.

Anyway, to tell the difference it may help to keep in mind that shotguns are best used for small moving objects at close distances because of the shot spread, and you really just point them at things. Rifles are used for bigger things at longer distances that you can really aim at. So if someone's swinging a gun around and just pointing with the barrel, probably a shotgun. If it's a sniper, say, it's a rifle. OTOH, an automatic gun is swung around and used at close distances, and that'll most likely be a rifle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh! I did know this one! I have a better idea of use than of look, I think. At least I know the big categories OK.

a shotgun nearly broke my collarbone as a child, if you're gonna be shooting and you're not used to shooting, you'll want a rifle.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It really depends on the size of the charge, but shotguns tend to have bigger charges than rifles, at least until you get to military ammo.
eta: Not exactly right. It's both the size of the charge, and the size of the load, and shotguns tend to be bigger in both respects.

Are buckshot and birdshot the same? Or is buckshot bigger?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't actually care at all what kind of gun is what.
You may be a bit strange.
Someone here (at work) just said that $55 is too much to pay for a month's gym membership. He pays $90/year. For Bally's.

I'm pretty much without special skills apart from the Special thing. And I read about murder a lot. I'd seen her "new" mouth...Maggie, but I still think it's unfortunate, as long as I imitate the O'Connell look.

Am I confused? Or is he?
Or by "here" did you mean this board? But "he" isn't on the board?
