what?? that doesnt make sense and has doesnt even apply to what im talking about. ok im gonna stop being polite after i read that. gtfo this thread. that was the stupidest post ive read in all..almost 200 pages? do you even know how a shotgun works??? a shotgun shell is filled with small, round pellets (called shot) that vary in size and quantity depending on the gauge. when fired, these pellets seperate, allowing a wider spread, at the cost of a very short range. this is kinda what you just described. except it actually makes sense, and the whole process is already done for you. what you said wouldnt even come close to working. not to mention i can barely understand what you said. "glue it to the piston??" "place large bits of shrapnel so it acts like a musket??" wtf :|
