Multiple crew-served cannon per position = so many dead you stack them like cordwood in pre-dug trenches. Rifles are to defend the cannon positions. Fictional on so many levels.

"Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. " - Men in Black the movie. <br />So as long a person isn't harmed by it they can be very kind and nice and generous - should it cost them too much (in some way) then they will cut off the niceness in a heartbeat, and if harming you profits them, they will be sad about it or justify it in some manner but screw you over with only a little pause at most. As a group people are herd mentality. If you are in the herd you must go with the herd, if you are not in the herd then you are to be used for the herd or destroyed by the herd (but not by any individual - of course not they are nice! at least in their own minds).

You typically wouldn't shoulder something like this (see video below, and it becomes apparent as to why). The early waterfowl market hunters usually just rested them in the bottom of the boat, or against the blind in some way, and pointed them in the general direction of the flock. Something tells me that one shot from one of these, and witnessing several of your comrades drop right before your very eyes, would be heavily demoralizing for the bad guys trying to storm your retreat :D<br /><br />13-Foot-Long Punt Gun Shot Gun Clay Target<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTQQfKxkZpkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-9413167212223126272018-04-21T06:03:05.833-07:002018-04-21T06:03:05.833-07:00"similar to Jim’s bayonet philosophy". ..."similar to Jim’s bayonet philosophy".

The original blunderbuss guns were usually a 4ga (For those that do not understand the gauge system, the smaller the number, the larger the bore; hence a 4ga is larger than a 12ga). You can still get the blunderbuss reproductions, but they’re expensive. My concoction will be very simple and cheap. The idea is one shot, massive damage. And the empty vessel doubles as a pipe club (similar to Jim’s bayonet philosophy).

Your retreat should have narrow passages to and from, as to concentrate the invaders to one area, to maximize damage. I’ve been thinking lately that I will develop a really simple riot gun. It will be a muzzleloader, because the bore will be so big that there are no shells made for it. I’m thinking something like a 1.5” or 2” bore, 6oz to 8oz oz of shot in a charge, backed around 200 grains or so of blackpowder. One shot, and multiple dead, peppered, or severely damaged bad guys, and the flame and enormous roar will probably frighten the remainder to death. It will be cheap to produce and small like a blunderbuss, so you could easily carry a spare with you. You wouldn’t shoulder such a weapon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-1860356058498863232018-04-20T05:52:03.195-07:002018-04-20T05:52:03.195-07:00Damn, dude-on a roll.Damn, dude-on a roll.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-1730984634719452632018-04-20T05:50:30.416-07:002018-04-20T05:50:30.416-07:00But, but, you know, semi-auto's and stuff.But, but, you know, semi-auto's and stuff.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-14597629968054757862018-04-20T05:49:32.253-07:002018-04-20T05:49:32.253-07:00IS THAT A JELLY DONUT?IS THAT A JELLY DONUT?James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-44998572730192746942018-04-20T04:05:50.695-07:002018-04-20T04:05:50.695-07:00With Lee Ermey's passing and reading this post...With Lee Ermey's passing and reading this post, I had to think of one of the few parts of "Full Metal Jacket" that didn't border on the absurd.<br /><br />You wrote, "So to return to dehumanization, keep on hating. The more you hate, the easier it is to kill. The easier it is to kill, the odds of your survival increase."<br /><br />Sgt. Hartmann said, " It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is the hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and stong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead Marines..."<br /><br />Suppposedly Lee wrote a lot of his own dialogue.
