A 12-gauge will kill, regardless of if you use a slug or shot, simply because it has so much energy behind it. A 12-gauge would be equivalent to ~ a 72 caliber rifle.

You have to keep in mind that with a slug, all of the energy is dedicated to that ONE bullet. When you use shot, it is divided between each BB, many of which miss their target.

I mean, if you are within 10 feet of someone and use .357 Magnun /.38 Special shotshell, you'll probably create a wound that will eventualy kill them.

If you guys like the Judge and Governor, you're gonna love . . . the MEDUSA M47 !!!


http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/c/...x-Mp-412-1.jpg


https://1withabullet.files.wordpress...pg?w=468&h=353


The Phillips & Rogers Medusa Model 47 is a 6-round revolver that can chamber 25+
calibers in the 9mm / .38 range [or 100+ calibers if you want to get REALLY obscure],
including [but not limited to]:


.380 ACP
9×18mm Ultra
9mm Glisenti
9×19mm Parabellum
9mm Browning Long
9×21mm
9×21mm Gyurza
9×23mm Largo
9×23mm Steyr
9mm Largo
9×25mm Mauser
9×25mm Dillon
9mm Winchester Magnum
.356 TSW
.38 ACP
.38 Super
9×23mm Winchester
9×18mm Makarov
.357 Magnum
.38 Casull
.38 Short Colt
.38 Long Colt
.38 Special
.38 Super Comp
.38 S&W
.380 Revolver Short
.380 Revolver Long
.38-40 Winchester


https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...Medusa_M47.jpg


The cylinder was designed by Jonathan Phillips, a computer specialist for NASA
and competition shooter who regularly carried multiple guns of different calibers to
the shooting range. The Medusa was an attempt to solve this, because most of the
weapons that he carried were in the 9mm /.38 range. To withstand the varying
pressures involved in the various rounds, the cylinder is made with mil-spec 4330
modified vanadium steel and is specially hardened. This cylinder is about twice as
strong as any other on the market. It uses special rims and springs to hold rimless
cartridges.


It was most definitely designed as a bug-out / SHTF / apocalypse revolver. It is
tantamount to a jack of all trades, master of none. It suffers from accuracy issues,
so close-range firing is recommended. It's been out of production for decades and is
a holy grail for some gun collectors.

Protecting Yourself On The Cheap
 
Protecting Yourself On The Cheap


This thread is dedicated to cheap forms of personal protection. I hope that you find it useful!

We'll start with cheap firearms. You can usually find some cheap used guns at your local pawn shop. But if you want to buy new, you still
have several choices that won't break the bank, such as Hi-Point, which are made in America and have a lifetime warranty.

================================================== ================================================== ===================================

The Hi-Point CF380 [pictured below] is a semiautomatic pistol chambered in .380
ACP, with an 8+1 capacity, a 3.5" barrel and weighs 29 ounces unloaded. It has a
MSRP of $179 USD.


Hi-Point also offers a 10-round OEM magazine, ProMag makes a 15-round after-
market magazine that is designed for Hi-Point carbines, but can be made to work
in the CF380 and RedBall has a 20-round after-market magazine that is designed
for Hi-Point carbines, but can be made to work in the CF380.

Part 2
 
================================================== ================================================== ===================================

Next up, we have Cobra, which are also made in America. Along with semiautomatic
pistols, they also manufacture double-shot Derringers. They are known for making
small, low capacity firearms, ideal for concealed carry.


Cobra makes double-shot Derringers [pictured below] chambered in .22 LR,
.22 WMR, .25 ACP, .32 ACP, .32 HRM, .38 Special, .380 ACP, 9mm, .45 LC
and .410-bore, with barrel lengths ranging from 2.4" - 3.5". Their weights range
from 9.5 - 16.4 ounces unloaded. You can usually pick one up for around $150
- $200 USD.

Cobra makes semiautomatic pistols [pictured below] chambered in .32 ACP, .380
ACP, 9mm and .45 ACP, with barrel lengths ranging from 3.3" - 3.5" and weights
ranging from 18 - 24 ounces unloaded. Magazine capacities range from 7 - 10
rounds. You can usually pick one up for around $150 USD.

================================================== ================================================== ===================================

Next up is the single-action Heritage revolver [pictured below]. It's a
classic cowboy gun. It sports 6 rounds and the cheaper models are
chambered in .22 LR and generally retail for around $150 USD.

================================================== ================================================== ===================================

Then we have Phoenix Arms. They make small caliber semiautomatic pistols [pictured below], chambered
in .22 LR and .25 ACP. They weigh just 20 ounces unloaded, have 3" - 5" barrels and have magazine
capacities ranging from 9 - 10 rounds. You can usually pick one up for around $150 - $180 USD.

================================================== ================================================== ===================================

gun. The cheaper models come in .17 HMR, .22 LR and .22 WMR and usually retail for
around $180 - $200 USD.

To be continued . . .

Part 3
 
================================================== ================================================== ===================================

Next up is the Taurus Spectrum [pictured below], a semiautomatic
pistol chambered in .380 ACP. It has a 2.8" barrel, a 6-round
magazine and it weighs just 10 ounces unloaded. You can usually
find one for around $225 USD. It also comes in lots of fancy ass colors.

================================================== ================================================== ===================================

There are similar offerings from Ruger, SCCY, ATI and Diamondback, but, for the money, nothing is going to beat a brand new Hi-Point. With a lifetime warranty and a +P rating, they are all you need to get by on the cheap. But if you prefer to go the used route, see if you can find a pre-owned .357 Magnum revolver that is in good condition.

================================================== ================================================== ===================================

I saw that last one sold at an arts and crafts store of all places. They called it a "glue gun".
