Might be old news to you gun buffs... (Beowulf)

I've used one of those stupid looking "snake charmer" .410 single shot survival guns to kill rattlesnakes at 7 feet. Best size round if you want to eat the snake instead of blowing it all to hell. The Taurus Judge revolver would work in a pinch.

And if you doubt the utility of using a .410 in a survival situation, watch the following video that features The Judge in close quarters. I want one!

For the record, rattlesnake makes for fine eating when you fry it. Kind of like cod.

Well s**t, i learn something new everyday XD

I saw that thing being used in that Max Payne movie, and i wasnt sure if there was really such a thing as a shotgun pistol.

I need to re-educate myself XP

Yeah. Pretty cool. AR-15 that could be suppressed, w/o the supersonic boom. = ]
I still likes me a .45-70. Much higher pressures and can also use longer booolits.

I really, REALLY want the .410 upper though. Because... damn. Too bad they haven't hit the states yet. BUT THEY'RE SLATED FOR IMPORT NOW. Some day...

They already started. A guy on ARFCom has one.
It won't use the 3" shells, though.
Note: barrel lengths are the same throughout all versions, I believe.

They can be found on Gunbroker.

I saw some guy, maybe on ARFCOM, who'd gotten his from a friend overseas, and it was an original Safir. Could that be the guy? Or does he have an actual AT-14?

Naw, the guy bought it at his local gun store.

And a .410 is just gonna piss someone off.

I disagree. A 3" #00 .410 with 5 pellets is listed at 1230, as opposed to 9 #00 for 1250. Sure, there's almost 50% less pellets, but I don't think it'll make that much of a difference at shotgun distances.

As long as all of the pellets hit the target and at the same range, just about the same amount of damage. If the loads weigh the same, and you're still hit with the same spread you'll be hurtin' the same.

Unless the guy is using a flak vest or something.
