[QUOTE=Hiccuper;53020690]Can someone explain the notation to me, so if 1ga is this big, is 12ga actually like .12 or something but everyone calls it a 12 gauge?[/QUOTE]

From what I can understand from just glancing over wikipedia, a gauge is how much of a fraction the ball's weight is out of one pound. So, a 12 gauge uses 1/12th pound balls, a 10 gauge uses 1/10th pound balls, and, if I'm understanding this correctly, a 1 gauge uses a 1/1 (read: 1) pound ball.

[QUOTE=Foogooman;53022099]So is a 0 gauge infinitely large?[/QUOTE]

I suppose so, first we need to invent a lead sphere that weighs 1 divided by 0 pounds.

[QUOTE=PandaJuggernaut;53020683]looking at the video it doesn't fit the ATF's definition of a shotgun nor the definition of a "weapon made from a shotgun" since in the original configuration it has a barrel length of under 18" with an overall length of over 26" It fits the '68 GCA's definition of a firearm but not the '86 NFA's definition of an NFA item nor an AOW item therefor if I'm correct it sits in the same legal situation as the mossberg shockwave/ remington TAC-14 /B.A.T. DT series[/QUOTE]

That's not why. It's muzzle-loading and muzzle-loaders are not firearms in the US.

It's fairly picture heavy, but it's without a doubt one of the coolest builds I have seen in a fairly long time. Its the reason why you pretty much see all of the survival games like Rust with an AK that has a shovel handle stock.

This is fantastic, can't believe I've never seen this before

[QUOTE=Bathacker;53020646]"Status: NOT a firearm"

How does that happen? Is this somehow outside the legal definition because it's so big? Genuinely curious.[/QUOTE]

it's not a cartridge firing weapon.
