    Get the Shotgun. stroll right out the front door ask him "can I help you? And pump the shotgun.

    That’ll fix any idiots attempt at trolling, or attempt at home invasion.

      It’s 2024, we can buy cheap semi-auto shotguns now that don’t require manually pumping to action the bolt.

          The dramatic effect is witnessing the trespassing creep transform instantly into pink mist and various chunks of unidentified meat.

        The sound of a 12 gauge shotgun being pumped is the universal sound of “wrong house, motherfucker”.

          I know, and you can manually cycle a round by pulling the bolt back and releasing to get the same effect on a modern semi-auto action.

          You’re arguing it’s cooler to crank start your Ford Model T at the beginning of a drag race against other modern race cars nearby becuase it has legacy. That’s really fucking dumb. Buy a modern weapon.

            It’s not nearly the same effect. Additionally, a pump action shotgun is not a Model T Ford. I can pop two clays at the skeet range with my pump, just as easily as I can with my over-under. I shot a Benelli auto a few weeks ago at the range and felt that my Mossberg pump was more accurate. That could just be due to my familiarity with it, but the point stands. A pump action shotgun is a fine weapon. Sure, it’s not as quick as a semi-auto in a combat situation, but I highly doubt that’s going to matter for 99.9% of legal gun owners.

            It is cooler to crank start a model T though

            Like modern cars are ‘push this button to start’ that’s boring as fuck.

            The car equivalent would be revving the engine at standstill. That would be pointless in an EV.
