tucker301 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Is a tactical gun still tactical if I shoot pigeons and rats with it? Quote
MontefeltroPro Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Well, the pigeons and rats sure think so! You "tacticalled" them right out of business! (Bet you used "sissy-loads" though... don't ever admit to it, macho-dude.) Quote
tucker301 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 All of them so-called "tactical" shotguns shoot the girly loads. They don't make one in the grown-up size of 3.5" like my hunting gun. I suppose they'll do OK if you get two rounds into Stuart Little before he grabs some cover behind a matchbook. Quote
Creeper Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Is a tactical gun still tactical if I shoot pigeons and rats with it? Did you give them fair warning? "Drop that Twinkie and put your paws/wings up!!!... or I'll shoot!!!" That kinda thing? If so, then your M1 ~ 4 was put to practical tactical use. I always give fair warning to the coyotes in my neighborhood... they don't speak English, but it's not my problem if they don't bother to learn the language. Quote

shotgunNoob Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Only if you needed to use a weapon mounted white light system to temporarily blind your intended target and/or had to grab a few shells from a sidesaddle. All of them so-called "tactical" shotguns shoot the girly loads.For all of my shotguns, I stick to Federal LE Low-Recoil 00 Buck (for HD anyway). Girly? Maybe...although to me, there is nothing "girly" about 00 Buck, regardless of form. Either way, I'll take control/follow-up accuracy over unnecessary bruising any day! Sure, I could run 3 1/2" loads through my Benelli SNT or 3" loads through my Mossberg 590, but it would be fruitless. I dont hunt, so anything above 2 3/4" is meaningless to me.

Nikolai552 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 My SNTAC can use 3.5"... I have yet to use them but by all means my shotgun isn't "girly". Quote
