DUH! Peacemakers were Colts.

Regarding the Battle rifle, assault weapon...the term IMHO is interchangeable in current use, do I agree with the usage, no. They are just rifles and caliber doesn't matter that much by political definition, I could outfit a 10/22 to be classified by the Clinton AWB as being an assault weapon.

In actual, real life instances, I don't think there is anything that I would call an "assault weapon" just guns with different options. Handguns, rifles, shotguns, FA.

Regarding:

Quote:
SD shotgun, or is it a tactical, police, tench, combat, riot, military grade, etc. Most of the time it is all the same stogun.
That's not quite correct.

Tactical: Usually allows the attachment of silly, sometimes necessary gadgets.
Police: Remington does have a "Police" model.
Riot: That one is pretty interchangeable, as most police shotguns were referred to as riot guns.
Combat: Not all shotguns are "Combat" shotguns, take a single bbl, break action .410.
Military Grade Not all shotguns are military grade.
Trench: This refers to the WWI era Winchester pump guns, a Browning 20g over and under is not a trench gun.



Can't we just debate Clip vs. Magazine like we used to?
