Nonsense, quite recently I have used my 67 vintage 37 "Trenchie" + Kmart bought Remi 6s to clear wood path of locust saplings. It was great fun shootin' from the hip matter of fact almost took me back to my craaazy high school days. Before that I shot up some pumpkins using ole' #4 Activ buck and did a good job on ole' picnic table too. I can work that pump pretty good I just wish that 20" cyl barrel could be replaced with something longer, but it can't be removed (it's a fixed barrel thingy).
Next thing I'm buying is one of them sword bayonets with plastic grips and scabbard to go with that gun.
