    Sawed-off shotguns are stupid because the immediate spread is ridiculously wide and it the shot loses velocity very quickly (and never had time to combust all the propellant for initial speed!). Drones are about all they are good for. :)

    Going to test the spread at camp Saturday. Bet money it’s 4-5 feet at 35, basically a short-range blast cone of weak, slow pellets. A 30" barrel is 4-5 inches at that distance, a very different thing!
