Simple doesn't mean a lack of power. Power, when it comes to any gun, is dependent on two things: Barrel length and the load of the cartridge. If you've got a 3" barrel and a 20" barrel, both firing the exact same shell, the 20" is going to be much more powerful than the 3".CloggedDonkey said:I meant it by the standards of other shotguns. None bird-hunting double barrel shotguns veer to the left or right depending on which barrel you fire, as per design, and they aren't very powerful because they can't accelerate the shell very much, because it is a very simple weapon. Now, if you thought I meant the Mossberg 500, those are actually pretty good military and civilian single-barrel pump action shotguns, which makes them very accurate and, thanks to some technological advancements, can hit far harder than old double barrel models. And I learned that from some special on Military channel a few months back during a bout of insomnia.TOGSolid said:CloggedDonkey said:

Accuracy with shotguns greatly improved with the invention of the choke, which tightens the spread of the shot.
AA12. Full auto shotgun that has grenade rounds? Yes please!
Now I just the upper body strength to hold it...

Except that the only thing that the gun itself does as far as "accelerating the shell" is just to ignite the gunpowder and then off the shot goes down the barrel. Shotguns are smoothbore weapons so it's not like there's gonna be a whole lot more going on besides that. Sure, you'll have the choke at the end that will alter the pattern, but there isn't any voodoo that goes on with accelerating the shot. Longer barrel = more velocity = tighter spread = long doubleguns have the advantage.CloggedDonkey said:I meant it by the standards of other shotguns.

The issues with the barrels being slightly offset isn't that big of a deal and easily solved with a bit of practice. It's not like it's going to send the shot flying wildly left or right (or up and down depending on what sorta side by side you've got). It'll just be offset by an inch or so.
The big difference is the fact that a modern pump action/semi-auto gun is going to have a lot more going on with recoil reduction and sustained, repeated fire. If modern pumps/semis were really that good, competition trap shooters would have switched to them by now.
True, but a tight spread doesn't help you much if what you're aiming at wont be hit because it's in front of the right barrel and you're shooting out of the left, but I don't really feel like getting into an argument, so, for the sake of not saying something that will get me on probation or suspension, I'm just going to say that double barrel shotguns are still good and accurate, just not as accurate as newer shotguns.Koeryn said:
Mossberg 500 "J.I.C" Don't have one yet but I like that it's small enough to fit behind the seat of my car. If I remember right the initials mean Just In Case. Also it's a hearse so there's just a flat panel thing behind the seat a bit like a truck. More realistically I'd keep it at home and use it in the odd chance of a burglar.
I'd imagine you'd do alright with 12 gauge slugs. I mean they are used for hunting bears.real life potato said:
An AA/12 shotgun, not to be confused with the AA-12 shotgun.
I mean a 'AA' gauge Punt Gun loaded with no.12 Rat-Shot.
Yeah, that's the kind of AA/12 shotgun I'd want, a shoulder fired lead cloud launcher.

.
It's like this one, but with a bigger barrel (101mm) which can fire over 6Kg of lead shot at a time, and for a laugh I'd saw off the barrel and use no. 12 rat-shot in it.
