I guess I haven't given any reasons that anybody understands. That's Ok. That's simply a lack of familiarity, and my fault. I'm prone to lingoism and I'm sure if I asked you to tie flying bowline on the after-leading hawser to the thwartships knights-head you'd probably think I was talking out of my arse as well. But, some would know exactly what I was talking about, and wouldn't think that pretentious in the slightest.
Ultimately, I believe, all of this is a practical issue. No need to get too bent out of shape if someone disagrees.
As well, I understand what a cylinder bore is. And, as well understand there are specific prohibitions to it. In Hawaii, or not, I have not an idea, especially as the law here is in flux and unconstitutional, but personally I don't want to spend the next 20 years of my life making that claim. I expect I'd evade the issue completely and stick within what's clearly legal.
Argument I from my perspective:
Two barrels(rounds) that point off of dead center 3 degrees or so- vs one barrel with 5 rounds that points dead on, and that you can feed from the bottom at whatever rate you're personally capable of. You can pick or choose how you will. I suppose it's all a matter or preference. And, I'm not at all interested in a pissing match about what's the best firearm of choice for someone who'd not ever handled one at all. The answer, of course, for that, is--none of the above.
Argument II from my perspective:
A quality DBBL shotgun( not some old piece of crap made by Sears with two barrels) will cost you 5 to 10 times the same amount of money of a modern new pump or autoloader. Especially one with ejectors and not extractors. Last time I looked, which was a long time ago, a REMINGTON 870 EXPRESS was about a 300 dollar gun. A quality Italian double or a vintage American one like a Parker was about a 2500 dollar purchase.
I have no interest in being contentious about any of this. Go fire away at a piece of cardboard at 30 feet and tell us what you find out.
Honestly, I don't want this to be combative or any of that. At all, or whatever. It serves none of us. In the same way I might offer advise on how to use a particular tablesaw, fine. I'm pretty familiar with both tablesaws and these. Beyond that, well, not so interested.
