On the other two, just what the world needs, a 60 cal. hand gun.

Anyone know how big that kind of elephant gun is? I'm not nearly as gun savvy as most of you guys -- I remember firing a 12 gauge shotgun a few times as a teenager with my dad and some of his friends. Bruised the hell out of my poor li'l shoulder.

There was a scene in the movie "Witness" that was just wrong. Danny Glover came running around a corner because he heard Harrison Ford digging the dead guy's shotgun out of the few tons of corn he'd dumped on the guy, just in time for Ford to ventlilate his vital organs. Glover slowly slid down a wall, holding his shotgun feebly with one hand, pointing up, and firing one last round before he expired. The gun didn't even move. Yeah, right. They must have edited in the sound and the muzzle flash after the fact. Even a blank would have had more recoil than that, which was exactly zero.
