What woulda happened if you had put Borepatch in charge of an artillery battery during the Civil War?



Don't forget, I've known Borepatch a lot longer than you.

Actually, the above picture is of what is left of a "parrot rifle" on Morris Island, South Carolina in 1863.  The Atlantic has complied an outstanding collection of Civil War photographs.

It's not a parrot rifle. It's a sawed off cannon.

Ha! You want one, don't you.

File it down flat and put a new crown on it. It'll still shoot.

Just don't load any more +P ammo.
