Re: Defending your boat (pirates, angry mobs of fisherman etc)

Well, if it took me 4-5 sec to cycle a pump action then I would tend to the semi as well.


This is poor information for anyone here who thinks having a shotgun aboard for self defense is a good...

Re: Defending your boat (pirates, angry mobs of fisherman etc)

Re: Defending your boat (pirates, angry mobs of fisherman etc)

We differ in shooting styles and opinions on the best type of shotgun for self defense. Now, I do agree with you about the sound of racking being a deterrent which is another item in favor of a...

Re: Defending your boat (pirates, angry mobs of fisherman etc)

Thanks for the tip but I certainly do know how it's done. I belonged to two duck clubs to get the morning and evening shoots in and often floated the river during the day. I have taken thousands of...

Re: Defending your boat (pirates, angry mobs of fisherman etc)

Pumping the action takes a second if you're practiced, I'd say. Taking it off your shoulder, bringing it up, and getting back on target at least a few more. Long enough for an AK-47 to send 5-6...

Re: Defending your boat (pirates, angry mobs of fisherman etc)

For clarity, a pump shotgun (with the proper ammunition and in capable hands) is a formidable weapon and not just a movie prop.


The first shot is formidable if you're chambered for 3" and are...

Re: Defending your boat (pirates, angry mobs of fisherman etc)

AK47s. yes if they come with those, a shotgun is useless, nut if you fire it in the air and they fire an AK in the air, you can still surrender it, If they back off like in the video, then you...

Re: Defending your boat (pirates, angry mobs of fisherman etc)

In the US we have a horrible problem of not only proliferation of gun ownership but a near complete relaxation of rules in some states. In many locales, open carry has made free speech subordinate to...

Re: Defending your boat (pirates, angry mobs of fisherman etc)

Re: Defending your boat (pirates, angry mobs of fisherman etc)

Sir, have you actually ever used a gun to defend your home or your vessel? I get the emotion but until you've actually pointed a loaded gun at an intruder and were faced with the possible result it's...

Re: Defending your boat (pirates, angry mobs of fisherman etc)

Bingo. Frankly, only a fool would stand up on a boat dancing about with a pump action 12 guage firing here and there and expect not to die shortly. If that was your only defense and the threat was...
