What's the recoil like on a shotgun with no recoil pad?

May 3rd, 2011 by eranio

I recently did an adjustment to my Benelli… The stock was ridiculously long and there is no adjustment, so I just took the recoil pad off. Still haven’t taken it out yet…

Anyone fire a shotty without any pad? How bad is it?

Why is the passenger side called Shotgun?

January 17th, 2011 by eranio

So earlier I posted a question because Im new to the term "Shotty".

That term is short for "shotgun" which what a lot of people use to refer to the passenger side.

My question is why is the passenger side called shotgun?

Do you have to be 21+ to have a pistol grip shotgun?

December 20th, 2010 by eranio

Hi, I live in Texas and I am 20. My friend gave me his old pistol grip which I just put on my Mossberg Maverick, I still have the stock too. I already put the stock back on though, because somebody just told me that a shotty with a pistol grip is no longer considered a long-gun, therefore, its an illegal firearm?
k, thanks! I prefer the pistol grip, more compact, but leaves a little zing in your hand!

Can I convert a shotgun from a 12 gauge to a 20 gauge?

November 11th, 2010 by eranio

I am wanting to purchase a Mossberg shotgun at a gunshow tomorrow, and am really liking the Cruiser models, except they come in 12 gauge. I was wondering how you can convert, if possible, a shotgun from 12 to 20 gauge. I know that you convert the barrels on handguns to allow for this, but did not know if that would be the case with shotguns.

Also, if you really want to help me, you can tell me if Mossberg does make the Cruiser in a 20 gauge. The reason I like them is because they are small, sleek, and especially like the pump-strap.
I am wanting to get a shotgun my girlfriend will feel comfortable using, and the 12 is too powerful for that. The 20 will do MORE than the required job of self-defense, and be my play toy when I want to add stuff to it.
Garret…you CAN convert a gun. Glock’s are the easiest guns to convert as you only need to change the barrel. I know this because I HAVE ONE to do it!

I just didn’t know if the same could be done with a shotty…

How much is a Benelli Montefeltro worth?

July 4th, 2010 by eranio

My dad, before being laid off, got me this Benelli Montefeltro. It was a gift from his lumber company for buying so much wood that year. This was maybe 2 years ago? Heworked for Avery Edwards, if they bought so much, the Lumber Company would give everyone a gift, (it was a small company.) I was just curious. It’s an awesome shotty no doubt for the exception of a few jams here and again.

Which is best for self defense in an apartment? Taurus Judge revolver or Mossberg 18.5" Tactical shotgun?

June 30th, 2010 by eranio

I’m torn between the two. I like the compactness and versatility of the Judge, but I heard it’s hard to find a 410 shell with a configuration good for takedown power. The Mossberg shotty takes up more room but you have takedown power and that click-clack shotgun sound that should soil some underwear.

I’m looking at buying a used shotgun sight unseen from an old friend.?

November 25th, 2009 by eranio

He told me that it was a Western Auto 350 A. He also said that this gun was identical to a Mossberg 500. Is this true, or does he not know what he’s talking about? I’m just trying to buy a good used shotty to hunt some rabbits and the occasional turkey. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Whats the best way to shoot the Shotgun in Gears of War multiplayer?

November 16th, 2009 by eranio

While I play Gears of War, alot of people charge my sniping butt full force and with a shotgun loaded with perfect shots and I turn around and pull out my shotty and try the best to defend myself but its always a futile try. And for some reason, I always lose in a shotgun fight. I was told it was best to get your center aim in while shouldered then quickly press L and for that brief moment aim at the person and shoot then go back to hip and keep on strafting left and right, but I always fail.

So I was wondering whats the best way to Shotgun in Gears of War?
