minus-squareTRBoom@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 days agoI wouldn’t exactly worry about range of a firearm with a barrel cut so short the ends of the shells stick out.
minus-squarejustdaveisfine@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·5 days agoIts more about the velocity. A barrel is needed to ‘shoot’ a shell. If you took a shotgun shell and hit a hammer onto the primer to set it off, well it would be a mess of pellets, but it wouldn’t fire with lethal velocity.
