SayUncle wants to know what's on my nightstand. I hate to disappoint, but there's nothing really too exciting.
That's it. If you were expecting more, that's too bad. Okay, I know, that's not the point of the question. I used to keep a handgun on my nightstand as a "backup" gun. But I put it away figuring that a wussy handgun isn't going to be much help, if this can't do the job:
12 gauge, pump action, 18" barrel, folding stock, 1 in the chamber, 5 in the mag, 5 in the bandolier.
That looks like some kind of 45mm semi-automatic assault machine shotgun. That thing is so scary, I believe you could probably use it to take out an aircraft.
I think we should ban it.

Posted by: SayUncle at July 27, 2005 8:22 AMTrust me, with a folding stock and 18" barrel, they're just fine. And you don't have to be quite so accurate as you do with a pistol.
Posted by: Ravenwood at July 27, 2005 8:24 AMMay I ask what that is exactly? I am no shotgun geek.
Posted by: More nuanced than you at August 1, 2005 12:01 AMIt's a Mossberg Maverick 88. It cost $200 and came with a 26" and 18" barrel. I replaced the regular stock with a pistol grip and folder, and added the shotshell holder.
