A lot of the posters here have seen face to face combat. A lot of us did not have air support to soften up the enemy. You actually went face to face with the ememy. So in short don't assume you know more about warfare than the old guys you put down.

I gotta admit the term "shotty" annoys me. Not enough to start a flame war, but I DO roll my eyes and picture a mall ninja when I see or hear it. Same goes for Remmy, Mossy, etc. Just seems stupid to me. The again, I roll my eyes when someone uses "kicks" for shoes (Got me some new kicks), or when I hear " I got pulled over by Five-OH" Just makes a person seem like a complete tool.

As to the guy who started this thread, you asked a legit question and deserve nothing more than a legit answer. I have mentioned this before in an earlier post, but I will reiterate that the Federal LE rounds are capable of very tight patterns at considerable distances vs "standard" SG (yes... I mean shotgun) rounds. I like them and choose to continue using them for HD duty. |

Mossberg 930, 18.5" cylinder bore, 25 yards, 5 shots of Fed PFC 154 00. [3 slugs to the head to check for POA/POI]
Note: this is the full power version, not the reduced recoil load. Last edited by Brigadier; June 4, 2009 at 10:41 AM. |

Brigadier- It appears that you are fairly comfortable with your Mossberg.
If you can hit with a slug with that kind of accuracy, you won't ever need buck. |

I prefer buckshot as it has a greater chance of staying in the perp's body vs slugs. I use slugs for hard cover or to increase range. |

I agree, IMO these "cute" little terms like "shotty" ("shottie"?) do sound somewhat like an adolescent playing at a grownup's game. I think most people find it just a little silly. But again, that's JMO .

At the risk of ruining the thread with ammo talk, Ammo to Go has the Federal LE-132-00 Low recoil 9 pellet in stock right now. About .80/round delivered in 250 rd. cases. It is IMHO the best Buckshot around. Back to the "shottie" dust-up.

I never realized people took such offense at the slang terms until I started perusing the message board here and at THR. I must say "thanks" though, as I've always wondered just what the hell a "gat" was. And now I know. And it still makes no sense...
All I can say is I call my pickup a "Chevy." It's old and crotchety but doesn't seem to mind.
