Shot gun - for recreational uses - I hunt.

What do you hunt?

Hare and pheasant... a few pidgeons and ducks.

The next question should be: who has fired anything bigger than a handgun, you know something useful?...

Follow up question- did you hit them? Are you the first on the forum with a confirmed kill? :o

I think Siege is a much more likely claimant to that title.

Shooting a goat so you can throw it down a well doesn't count.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

If by confirmed kill you mean rabbit vermin, then yes.

That was the automatic-loading 8 incher that the navy decided against deploying around 80, right?
Yep.  The argument against was its lack of AA capacity, but frankly the 5"/54 lacked this as well against anything modern.  There was an 5.5" sabot round that had a range of over 20nm.

I'm sure most rounds have a range of "over 20 nanometers," yes.

So do most squares and triangles.
