Yes.

Rifling causes the boolit to spin, increasing stability, range and velocity retention.

This is why the infantry firepower in the civil war was magnitudes more devastating than the Napoleonic Wars or the Revolution. The muskets were rifled.

Personally i like the ATF. Those dumb morons call the thing below a pistol bwahahahaha.

Received a letter from the police that my 1887 lever action shotgun in now "a weapon of mass destruction". It's been classified in with machine guns and the letter states if I sell this old shotgun, I will NEVER be able to purchase a replacement.

The nice old gun is so heavy, I think it would be more deadly as a club
None of that new fangled stainless steel on this baby.....

And why is it a pistol, and not a short barreled rifle which is exactly what it looks like? The video didn't explain that. And what calibers of boolits is a pistol like that available in?

Any lever or pump action on a shotgun = WMD

When target shooting ,five shots is a pain to deal with as you constantly have waste time reloading since the range officers time each shooting cycle before everyone gets to check their targets and walk out in the field …..

People say liberals are not reasonable and I want to prove them wrong. I see your concern about small clip size. So I propose three solutions:

1) We have the range officers increase the time between shooting cycles so you have more time to load clips.

2) You can have high capacity clips but they can only be used at the gun range and must be locked up and secured at the gun range in their vault between use.

3) The gun range can rent out high capacity clips for your range session and they get returned to their vault after secured inside the range facilities.

See, three easy solutions to let gun owners have their fun but limiting weapons of war on our streets where children play.
