QUOTE ""A 16 gauge shotgun carries like a 20 gauge, and hits like a 12 gauge."

Do you disagree with the first premise or the latter, or both. Why?"


Both are incorrect -- 16 gauge shotguns are usually heavier than 20 gauge shotguns...and 12 gauge shotguns normally throw more shot weight at the same or higher velocity.

Nevertheless, I do own and use a 16 gauge shotgun.
