Years ago (about half a century) my high school buddy was hunting with his dad's super light weight Franci 20ga semi auto. Usually he carried an A5 built like a crow bar which would fairly describe how he used it in prying open brush piles to flush cottontails. He shot a cottontail with the Franci and since it wasn't fully dead, delivered a rabbit punch with the barrel of the shotgun. Several shots later he realized the gun was strangely missing far wide of where he thought he was aiming. Sure enough, barrel dented and bent a few degrees to the left. Rest of the story as Paul Harvey said - he was specifically forbidden from taking that gun to begin with. We all understand the moral of that story I suppose but a few weeks later he topped it by driving his girl friends father's new car (another forbidden activity) and tearing the front and rear wheels off it by ignoring the old smoke pot lights marking a road repair where the concrete had been removed. Certainly made bending the barrel a minor foul!
