...looks like a hot glue pistol. Why a single shot, now after 150 years we finally got decent autoloaders and revolvers?

Have you checked the FRT lately?

If you're going to use a single shot gun in a fight, at least make it in a one shot stop calibre.

That would be a 12 gauge

While most fights are resolved in a few shots or less I'd really like to have more than one on hand... Not to mention the fact that many autos and revolvers aren't much larger than that silly thing. In this case "unique" seems to be a polite way of saying lame.

Thought the same exact thing. When I read "single shot pistol" i was thinking a .50

 

[VICIOUS]

Think second world war.

"FBI stats say the average gunfight includes three rounds fired over three seconds from a distance of 3 yards."

It's already 2 rounds short of winning!

a modern version of the liberator

a modern version of the liberator

That's what I was thinking. Or a good old fashioned inner city zip gun.

 

[dogzilla]

The liberator’s were 45acp

Demolition Ranch has been shooting the altor a bit, it’s pretty funny.
