Double Barrel ShotGuns
Mar 20 2010, 12:22 PM EDT
The Over and Under Shotgun. they dont kick hard, their easy to load and fires. most of them are really accurate for the reason of they need to be for shooting skeet and birds. and the side by side shotgun also easy to load and fire accurate and both are easy to obtain out here where i am (in the country) The shells are easy and usally cheap not good if your getting attack by more than two zombies if your not fast at reloading

Point to think about with break actions is the ability to saw them off. Additionally they are very very simple, not much can go wrong with them.

Break-action shottys are far more forgiving on ammo types as well. They can fire some older / lower powered ammo that wouldn't cycle the action of a semi or might jam in a pump. They can also handle longer shot loads like 3 1/2" or exotic loads like dragon's breath or home-brewed concoctions. And they are more durable and easier to maintain. I will probably get one some day, perhaps even go through the proper legal channels so I can saw it down pre-SHTF. Do you find this valuable? |

You can't shoot a 3 or 3 1/2 inch shell in a double that is not chambered for a shell of that lengthTrue you can shoot low powered loads in a double that might not cycle an auto but I have never seen a shell that you can shoot in a double that you couldn't shoot in a pump too. I have shot some old paper shells in doubles that after firing were hard to get out and ended up prying out with a pocket knife. In a pump because of more leverage they were easly ejected when you pumped the forarm back. A good double is a reliable gun but in my experance I see many more that have defective safetys then I do pumps or autos I have seen lots of doubles that were broken 2 shots or 5-7 shots...nuff said More accurate then a pump or auto...Huh? I think I have about dozen of the things now ,I like double barrel shotguns but relisticaly nothing they can do that a pump cant do better probably....maybe a sawn off one is more compact?

"Sweet black baby Jesus, who's been playing duke nukem too long?"It's actually a totally legit gun. It's made by a company called FAMARS Rombo in Italy. It comes in 28 gauge or .410 and is designed for small game hunting, the barrels fire in sequential order and cannot be fired all at once. There is only two of them in the united states and they run for about 65k http://www.gunsamerica.com/976860422/Guns-For-Sale/Gun-Auctions/Shotguns/Famars-Shotguns/A_S_Famars_Rombo_4_bbl.htm I'd like to point out that a .410 gauge 000 buck shell has 5 pellets and a 12 gauge 000 buck shell has 10. So not only are you cutting the stopping power in half, but you are also shooting out of a smaller choke, cutting the spread substantially. Do you find this valuable? |

My main gun right now is a Remington over/under, 12 gauge. I use it for deer, turkey, quail, duck, geese, and pheasant hunting. I just never needed more than 2 shots. I do see a problem with only two shots, during a zombie out break. I would have to constantly break it open to load two shots. It is time consuming and can wear out the locking mechanism. Also if a number of zombies are coming at me I will have two shots and then have to rely on my .357 revolver. If I can avoid the zombies for the most part then I would be fine, but you just can't tell what will happen or when in the Z land. Do you find this valuable? |

"call me stupid if you want but that looks like 12g barrels to me. them be some big holes bub!!"Yeah i thought so too, but it could just be a matter of perception. the end of the barrel is closer to the camera than the stock, so the holes appear larger than they actually are, still, adding this to the .550 inch diameter of a 28 gauge, and the appearance is more understandable. JunkCollector I still feel like the best advantage post zday of a double barrel would be chopping it down to pistol size for use as an emergency side arm. Do you find this valuable? |

I wouldn't bother chopping it down, it would be better as a back up long gun, or for guarding the BOL. The gun looses most of its range.As for a side arm; I would say, not unless it's all I had. It would be bulky, heavy, only 2 shots, and the shells are bulky and heavy. almost any 5 to 20 round pistols would give you more total fire power, accuracy, be lighter, less bulky, and allow a person to carry more rounds with less space and weight.

"if you zoom in on this pic I'm pretty sure that is 12g tooThen it would have to be a custom job or a movie prop. Famars did not make one in the 12 gauge Do you find this valuable? |
