SAW A B.P. AGENT WITH[8] DETAINEES

[brass hammer]

last week, he had them sardine-packed shoulder-shoulder with backs to a ranch fence, the agent appeared calm/in charge, with hovering hand 3-4"
above belt gun, the other hand pointing toward them.

just another day at the office for the agent right?

i for [1] DID NOT LIKE THE LOOKS OF THESE GUYS!

i mean the last 3or4 in the squad looked like they had just stepped off a dug-out canoe from the AMAZON-RIVER[although wearing western dress]
thick[horsemane] course black hair cut in the fritz/german helmet style[like outta a freakin' national geographic magizine pictoral]

they had the look of hard traveled dudes, and there faces burned, with their
getting caught/captured[would have had to seen it , then you would know what i mean]

well that got me thinking, about a titleII class weapon that the agents could utilize in certain situations,....you guessed it! a 10"or 12" sawn-off double barrel shot-gun.
easily 'clipped' into a rack in the cab of there patrol unit, and grabbed /deployed AS NEEDED! the mear presence of such a one hand 'canon'
would make even the most 'flighty birds in the covey' think long/hard before
BREAKING!
once discharged, dropped ,and belt gun transition.

now this also got me thinking about a whole line of weapon systems altogether, imagine a tri-barrel version with push pin selector ,all the barrels at once, or [3] rapid cock on recoil shots[there is method to my madness friends, stand-by]

the all at once position could be used for more than [3] rds,bird/buck going off at once.
consider the tri-barrel as a launch platform from which smoke/flares/grenades,nets,hell you name it could be fired from, a 3legged[rocket assisted pay-load,anybody?] muzzle loaded with launch cartridges

the simple design/concept with the right pay load could kill a M.B.T.[ha! amazons in t-90's at 2 o'clock 400 meters on my comand! ha!]

o.k. the rocket assist part is only on my drawing board still,
but leave a launch charge out of the equation for a shorter range spotter/marker smoke platform/grenade slinger

and these guys are feds, why can't they deploy them!

and [1] of these days i'll share my plans for a orbiting platform in the van-beuran belt 120 miles up and south of you, with 41, 50 megaton warheads ready to launch earth-ward, oops....never mind!

All hail hasher, the mad scientist! :bow01::rofl:

Anyway, I believe I saw a four barreled shotgun in "the double gun diary" a while back.

:beer:

Border Patrol has my deepest respect. They are professionals in the truest sense. Not the usual JBT power trippers.

[RIKA]

I agree with Kent. The Border Patrol seems to be one of the cleanest federal agencys and they sure do put up with a lot of bureaucratic crap.

Last I heard, the U.S.B.P. had 14" and 18" barreled shotguns just for this role. IIRC, the 14" barrel was selected for horseback carry.

[stevenms2008]

since ur talken about shotguns have they ever made a shotgun minigun?

I have read repeated claims that shotgun miniguns were studied by at least one manufacturer for helicopter door gun use in Vietnam. They were said to shoot flechette shells. Magazine fed, fully automatic shotguns were used by special operations troops in Vietnam. Most notable of these were selective fire Remington 1100's.

While they're not true miniguns, Manville guns were manufactured in the 1930's and in the 1970's-1980's. Manvilles are big revolver shotguns. The Clinton-banned "Street Sweeper" was a Manville type design. Christopher Walken used a chrome plated Manville in "The Dogs of War" (way-cool movie).

In recent times, numerous magazine fed, selective fire shotguns, such as the HK CAWS entry, have been developed for NATO militaries. The Russians have their own auto shotguns.

U.S. military auto shotguns have been fielded with all-brass shotshells. The shot shells used in the CAWS and early SPIW programs were loaded to pressures that would blow up a regular shotgun. These were flechette shooters.

Had a guy I knew that recently went to BP's academy. Before he left I asked him if he knew how to shoot. He arrogantly said he had been in the army for 4 years and that he thought he knew how to shoot. I told him "You don't understand, these guys get shot at on a daily basis. There's a reason they win team shooting competitions every year." Last I heard he had flunked the Spanish test and was going to have to re-try.
