The also reload easily and quickly. However, in Deadwood, we have to eschew their usage, being as pump shotguns weren't invented until the 1880s and weren't really common until the 1890s. <br /><br />Hey HB, <br /><br />Oh I absolutely recommend one of Ernst's boxlock guns for use on your property at St. Helen's. Not only is it a work of art--beautifully detailed and elegantly sculpted--it is just fun to use. It also looks great in the hands of smaller avies. You will note in the illustrations it looks just perfect for me, while in Clay's hands it looks a tad diminutive. That is because Clay has a monster of an avie. <br /><br />Oh, and Ernst will do custom engraving on the guns as well, though I am not sure how much that adds tothe price.Diohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266713613721430111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2265659668411443893.post-87391948601813709582009-12-23T07:30:52.541-08:002009-12-23T07:30:52.541-08:00Being a Brit, I have a huge dislike of guns and kn...Being a Brit, I have a huge dislike of guns and know little about them. But now I find myself lusting after one for RP purposes thank to your excellent posts on the subject. It was the same with my Webley 45 from Ordinal Malaprop - I knew they were the only weapon most UK investigators would have in the 1920 in Call of Cthulhu and so I just *had* to have one in-world. HBA now *needs* a shottie or rifle to protect him from bears and cougars!HeadBurro Antfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855762117761362578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2265659668411443893.post-15083358827971357492009-12-23T06:07:10.945-08:002009-12-23T06:07:10.945-08:00I wouldn't mind having one of those in my stoc...I wouldn't mind having one of those in my stocking! (In fact, I might just make it happen.)<br /><br />I hear what you're saying about having the shotgun hold only two rounds, time to reload, and such...on the other hand, when you're shooting zombies, a chamber that holds many rounds and impossibly quick reloading come in handy.Rhianon Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627163137265856251noreply@blogger.com
