Also what's with sawed off shotguns

the DIAS is way inferior to a lower built for select fire

Why does sawing off some of a gun make it illegal

Short barrel shotguns were big in crime groups and devastating in close quarters so they got regulated

Yeah

not that you cant saw them off anyways

so you cant hide it in your baggy nigger jeans or fedora trenchcoat

gun laws do not stop crime

Actually short-barreled shotguns are easy

and it was used a lot by the mafia

I chop my 500 down and hit you with it you are beyond fucked

Just requires the $200 tax stamp

most of these gun laws came about during prohibition

And the know-how

Why does sawing off the barrels make it more deadly

because organized crime was literally outgunning the cops

ROFLMAO OO Bucks

they had more money for machine guns

shit was wild

Short barrel = wider spread

it makes it less deadly

@Decimus_Pax_Britainnia spread and conceilability

but you can conceal it

yeah mob was like shooting back with BARs and other shit from WW 2 that came back

BAR was favored since its round tore cars to shit

wine makes my spelling funky

Tommy guns

@Vanguard this was in the 20s

You get less velocity, but you get a literal wall of lead

with the tommy gun and such

30s*

yeah but BAR didnt come back in vogue until after war

built so many

and so many came back and hit market

even army didnt adopt bar right away

the spread on a sawed off is not that significantly greater afaik

Is it?

it is

I've never even seen one

army didnt adopt the bar until last possible second

Wouldn't being shot with a normal shotgun close range be just as bad as being shot with a sawed off
