How does Dragons Breath Shotgun ammunition work?

A mixture of white phosphorous (for ignition upon firing) magnesium and zirconium (for maintaining the burn) create a "flamethrower" effect that is truly effective for roughly 20 meters. The claims of 100 yards are drawn from the furthest traveled particle in lab testing. I'm guessing on the reasoning behind the 100 yard claim, because I've never had one do it's job past 30 meters, and even then it was weakening considerably.

How much is a Volunteer 12 Gauge Break Action Shotgun worth?

I need more info,but i will take a shot at it lol. These guns were made under many names most would have a brand name and the name volunteer . If you have one that has only the volunteer name they are the most rare and getting very hard to come by. If your gun is in working shape and looks fair and is the one with volunteer only on it it could bring up to 2500.00 to the right collector.

What is the value of this gun sears roebuck and co model 101.71 20 gauge double barrel shot gun?

Is a trap shotgun a good hunting shotgun?

Depends, if you are hunting doves or small upland game bird an under over shotgun or side by side will work, although you will not want to get it dirty. You will not want to use it for deer or turkey when you are on the ground or getting down and dirty. For that I would recommend a good Remington 870 pump or semi. If you are going goose or duck I would recommend getting the shotgun in a 3" or 3 1/2" round in 12 gauge so you can pack a good punch. For goose I use Winchester Blind Side 3 1/2". If any of this helps.

What is thicker 16 gauge or 18 gauge?

What is the lowest number gauge shotgun?

This answer is a little more difficult to define than you may anticipate. Shotgun gauge is tied directly to Bore. Most people understand Bore to simply be a reference as to the diameter of the projectile, one should remember however that language evolves over time and what something means now is not what is always meant.

Shotgun Gauge is tied directly to an old-system of measurement which placed greater emphasis on projectile weight than diameter. This can be seen in old English 'Elephant Guns' which are commonly known as Bore-Rifles. Bore (and gauge) in this context references how many spherical balls of that size would be required to total 1-pound of lead. Thus a 12-Gauge or 12-Bore has an equivalent dimater to a lead ball weighing 1/12 of a pound.

Thus under that particular system of measurement, a 1-gauge would be as large as you could go, since at 1-bore you'd be 1 ball to the pound. You could of course make a bigger gun, but a new system of measure becomes necessary. In practicality however nothing even approaching this size has ever been used as a true shotgun as not only the weight of the gun, but the recoil would strain human limits.

However, 'Punt-Guns' were a sort of big-brother to the shotgun, these were essentually shotguns scaled up to the size of a small artillery piece and then mounted on a boat and used for harvesting ducks...by the flock.

In a realistic practical sense the largest (lowest number) gauges you are apt to find is the 12-gauge. While one can find 10-Gauge shotguns for sale they are returning to obsolecence after a brief resurgance in popularity due to the simple fact that there is nothing a 10-Gauge can do which a modern 12-Gauge cannot for less cost, weight, and recoil.

What does the symbol of a crown mean on an old double barrel shotgun?

The crown is the proof stamp from the Birmingham proof house. All guns made in or imported to the UK were submitted for proof testing in either Birmingham or London. The stamp will have letters underneath it................'BV' denotes the 'viewing' mark, stamped while the barrels were in the white, before finishing. 'MP' denotes the definitive proof mark. These were applied to guns proved from 1904 to 1950, after which the crown was stamped atop 'NP'
