I have an mp3 payer duct taped to my forend that plays really cool music like all the tactical accessory vendors use in the background of their promotional videos. Does that make my 870 Tactikool?

tac·ti·cal (tkt-kl)
adj. 1. Of, relating to, or using tactics. 2. a. Of, relating to, used in, or involving military or naval operations that are smaller, closer to base, and of less long-term significance than strategic operations. b. Carried out in support of military or naval operations: tactical bombing. 3. Characterized by adroitness, ingenuity, or skill. This term is an adjective that describes human action, not the tools used during those actions. It is a demonstration of one's ignorance to apply it to any weapon. |

You stole this idea from the movie Kelly's Heroes where he has the music-blaring loudspeaker mounted on his tank. |

Last Sunday I saw some new shows on TV, were about concealed carry type stuff. I think that will be the next cash cow on guns. Anyone see just hpw many permit requests hit Iowa on Monday? Soon it will be hard to find someone not carrying

I don't even know if I saw that, but I may have unconsicously borrowed from the scene in Apocalypse Now in which Robert Duvall leads air cavalry Hueys in an attack on VC while a PA system broadcasts Flight of the Valkyries. |

It's like the Chicken or the Egg came first analogy. Both those who sell the product and those using it have, for better or worse, adapted "tactical" as the accepted language. The .45 Colt has been renamed Long Colt, the Commander is now called the Lightweight Commander, and SD and LE equipment is now tactical. I've made my peace with that. |

I think the proper analogy relative to "tactical" would be a regular deer rifle vs. an AK or M-16. Any of these would provide a sufficient defense, but only the AK or M-16 would be considered tactical. To me, the same applies to a regular 1187 as opposed to the 1187 Police model.
Just my opinion. -Cheers |

Also my Benelli M1, has no accessories on it, nothing more than standard iron sights, not even ghost sights, no lights or lasers, not even a sling, just its 7 shot magazine tube and a 20' barrel. |

I have no tactical guns. All of mine are strategic.

able to shoot 8 shots of 2 3/4 00 buck in 2 seconds Quote: Oneounce load Is there a reason why you feel the need to be able do so ?

Lets see 8 shot in 2 seconds, how about Tom Knapp, but then he shoots at moving targets.
Shooting 8 shots at a hanging piece of paper is a waste of 7 shots. Proves nothing, just that some one likes to throw away 7 rounds of ammo. If your that good (8 shots in 2 seconds) how about 2 shots at two targets, real easy just break the clay bird as it flys past. And the nice part is you do not have to use heavy loaded buck shot just some lighter number 9 shot. |
