Paddy Galore! Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 i've had my mind changed on these recently, apparently through a rifled barrel they're just as accurate as a rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highseas Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 you dont even need a rifled barrle i was useing brenike ones with the wad attached they have a nive rifleing thing on the point of them and my god they where good! i could get 3inch groups at 100yrds with no sights, i know few guys who shoot targets with them and can get clover groups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkPoacher Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 They say with a rifled barrel and sabot slugs 3" groups at 150yards is eaily done! Using slugs is comparable to a close range .50cal for destructive power. My flo will only grant them for humane dispatch :( awesome power!

HDAV Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I thought practical included slugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be a rifle then wouldn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Popper Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Personally I find the versatility of a Shotgun very attractive. A relatively simple tool, it requires little maintenance and with a selection of chokes and cartridges/loads you can use one gun to cleanly take anything from a flying dove, to a large stag! They also make excellent weapons for defending one's home, although that's a different matter entirely... :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highseas Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 pp i 100% agree and for the forces its a very good crowd controle tool and close range combat wepon. i think slugs should be on a normal sgc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 101 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 pp i 100% agree and for the forces its a very good crowd controle tool and close range combat wepon. What it kills a protester as well as any other weapon available to the soldiers . :o Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highseas Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 if you want to put it like that yes, a freind of mine was in the papas and sas for 11 years and recons their is no better tool for clearing buildings and dence cover. its not the gun that makes the problems like your infering its the nut behind it! you must relise that guns are guns we use them for our sports and vermin controle but they also have other uses and i dare say the one they where made for!

Breastman Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I thought practical included slugs? It does, but they're a minor part of the sport - 70% birdshot 20% buckshot 10% slug. Although there are slug only matches on occasion, very expensive though! They would be a rifle then wouldn't they? And therefore Section 5 (prohibited) as you would have a self-loading or pump-action rifle Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have seen a Remington pump action, I think called the "Slugmaster" specially designed for shooting slugs, I think the barrel was as short as legal for a shotgun , no choke and iron sights. Why the guy had it on a pheasant shoot, thats a different question. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Great guns, I have used slugs on pigs and goats with great success. Still waiting on deer but I might take a buffalo 1st. Just waiting on how things work out 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have used slugs in the states for many years on whitetail deer . They are as deadly a round sa you will get and accurate from a standard shot gun barrel up to 100 yards . Shot through a proper slug barrel you can drop deer at 150 yards with no problems . Harnser .

wymberley Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 As they cut through aluminium, electrical cables, flight control rods and fuel pipes, they're very handy for providing the "damage" to fatigue expired aircraft for battle damage repair test pieces very quickly and with very little effort.
