Guy must�ve had some pretty long arms! What's that attachment on the barrel? Recoil reducer? Muzzle brake? All I know from searching the web is that it�s a 20 gauge shotgun. No other info found.

"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Matthew 5:11 Indeed we call blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, because “the Lord is compassionate and merciful. James 5:11

ANd I checked. the news says Browning automatic 5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browning_Auto-5 Also known as Remington model 11 among others. But all of good OLE Browning design. Its not THAT huge. Maybe middle finger pressing on trigger. Last edited by FlashBurn; 03/19/16 05:50 AM.

Like his Michael Jackson is being harassed in heaven. Humorous conversations with the dead. The Cobain piece is another of those. Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.
