Here we go....

I took some pictures of the gun, but they didnt turn out real well, will try again Doug. It is a Stevens 5100, there are probably other pictures out there on the web that might help too.

Actually, here's a link, looks just like mine except the barrel on mine is at 19" and I added the grip cap with the white spacer as seen in the first movie.

"Thousands of shell's...as many as you want. Shootin' em they are. Ka-Boom Ka-Boom Ka-Boom!"

I was hoping to buy that sawn-off antique shotgun I posted pictures of months ago and turn up and try shooting it just for sh*ts and giggles at this years Ball Trap.

But...

1. Sadly the shells are no longer available

2. Had I tried to fire it I'd have probably had my hand blown off.

3. it was a bit pricey just for a one-off gag. Though I think if it had taken centre pin shells I'd have bought it and kept it handy in the house as an anti-burgler tool. Though the sleepy village I live in a harsh word ought to send them running.

Now a belt feed automatic shotgun would be a whole lot of fun Hehehheheee Hey wait second! Perhaps one of those midiguns Blaine used in Predator would to do the trick

BIKER: I got the best set of numbers/letters for you...A-10...GAU-8/A...Avenger...30mm...7 barrel...gatling gun. "Go Ugly Early". My personal favorite. It can fire it's entire drum of 1350 rounds in less than 10 seconds...but, because there is so much recoil when the thing fires, if it kept firing for more than 2 seconds, the plane would stall out. The rounds are 11.41 inches long overall and come in Armour-piercing and my favorite...depleted Uranium. I can go up and stick my thumb in the barrel. "Plink" some tanks anyone?

I hear the pilots have to compensate while firing that because the gun is off-loading so much weight (in ammo) so fast, and if they didn't the plane would shoot straight up.

Another badass gatling type weapon is the CIWS (Close In Weapon System) mounted on Navy ships. I looks like R2-D2 with a 'little' gun barrel sticking out. I was on an LSD ship when they were firing it... damn. It shook the entire ship, you could feel it firing, and it sounded like the zipper of God being pulled down hard and fast next to a 1,000 decibel sound system.

Ah, the Dutch "goalkeeper"

Thanks Bronze, is there a hand held version for that? getting an A10 through the gates of the field the ball Trap is held in might be a little obvious I was hoping to sorta sneak it into the event and blast the trees from the horizon line with it

LOL! Just imagine that!

Those A10 are lovely looking planes to see in flight, ugly as sin at first glance though. I saw them25 years ago in Boston in the UK. There's USAAF base up around there and you'd see these big black birds swooping and diving all over the country side. I've never seen a plane manouvere (sp?) so gracefully as they did.

Humvee man that must have been a site to see! Ummmm Captain would you please reload and do that again? I blinked and missed the whole thing.

Imagine the poor sap who has to reload such a barrel. 3 hours of carefully placing the bullets in and 10 seconds of the pilot pressing the trigger your whole mornings work is gone! Damn!!

Four things:

1. The A-10 doesn't dispense the empty casings (outside the aircraft) which are almost 9 inches long and weight over a pound. They go back into the empty drum to hold it's nose weight in front of the wings, but it does lose several hundred pounds of lead/depleted Uranium. The smoke is also a problem going into the engine intakes...too much gun smoke and they want to stall out...above and beyond the recoil.

2. Theres a loading machine specifically designed for the 30mm Avenger called the Dragon that takes out the spent casings and loads the 1350 new rounds in less than 15 minutes...and it's all automated. It's the only aircraft-specific piece of ground equipment.

3. The "R2D2" CIWS gatling guns are only 20mm Vulcan 6-barrel gats capable of firing 4200 rpm.

4. Only one plane was painted black. It was the twin-seater made specifically for night op's. It was later cancelled. The rest are 3-tone grey or 3-tone green. They tried the JAW's scheme and also the Peanut and Flipper schemes, but all were cancelled. The only odd scheme in use is the white, grey and green scheme used in Alaska since 1982.

The Avengers have such a hard and fast firing rate, the "Hawg Monkeys" have to change the barrels after 5 minutes of usage (continual (if possible), totalling 17,000 rounds before warping and causing massive airframe vibration).

On the subject of prop guns.....

Being a HUGE Star Wars fan I purchased a demilled Sterling MK IV L2A3 submachine gun to make a replica Stormtrooper blaster. Demilled, for those that don't know, means cut to pieces with a torch. In the US this is legal to purchase since the former fire arm is now legally, and for all purposes, scrap metal. I reassembled this former gun on a steel insert I machined for it. This was just one of about 8 detriments that I performed so that the scrap metal could never be used to fire a round. This insert reduced the inside diameter of the receiver so that a bolt cannot possibly fit or function inside the receiver. Welding destroyed a lot of the function of the scrap metal forever. I never wanted this thing to work, only look the part.

Now it looks just like a Stormtrooper blaster, complete with fins and scope. I never would have done this if I didn't know that I could destroy all the functioning components to keep it as a piece of scrap metal. If you saw it on a table though you would think it would work, without a red tip in the end to denote that it is not real, per law.

I plan on getting an old, preferably non-functioning, double barrel shotgun for my Interceptor replica and doing the same thing, welding the crap out of it, including welding a solid steel rod permanently into the barrels and destroying the chambers in the process, so that I won't have any problems.

BTW, great looking costume!!!
