This is a piece of hardware that is carried by a demoness in the Angel and Knight universe who went by the name of Shirrawl. She was partnered with a another demon named Verran, see the piece "Condemner" in my gallery, and was the more unstable of the two. She's a big, loud, violent, blood thristy, nihilistic individual. Therefore she had a tendency of choosing weapons that fit her personality. One of them was this Ithaca Automag 10ga that is has turned into a a whipit gun. It is not a carefu,l loving modification of the weapon, but instead was brutal amputation of the weapon to make it fit her needs. Then she went and dolled it up with Dayglo fingernail polish. She also made up a net little sling/ suspension rig that lets her carry it discretely, when she decides to be discrete, under a long, heavy coat.

Having fired a similar, but smaller gauge, style weapon, yes they can be a real handful! You definitely need to have a proactive aggressive stance when firing one so you can keep the recoil in the check, and firing from the hip can produce some specatular muzzle blast that can be stunning inside an indoor shooting station. I actually found them much easier to deal with, and more accurate too, if I held it with both hands at eye level and fired that way. I have fired an Automag 10 but it had the full 30" barrel and stock with recoil pad on it. In this form it would a monster, but hey! She's a demoness anyways!
Yeah, he definitely helped make it a household word. In my my research I was unable to come across a single individual responsible for its creation. Instead it appears to have been a case of convergent evolution; people in different places, facing similar situations and coming to the same solution. They may have existed before the but they do seem to be a byproduct of the American Civil War where they existed in muzzleloading form, although some claim they existed before then.
I would agree that it's mainly due to covergance. Afterall, it's a fairly simple concept.
Various small, "covert" firearms have been around for as long as the firearm itself has been. And there's really very little differance between a handheld flintlock and the longer muskets. And concidering that for the longest time they were made indiidually by hand, customizing them to fit specific needs was just a matter of course.

Actually it was not so much to try and create a concealable weapon originally, although it was appreciated, but instead to create a weapon that was easy to maneuver on horseback and reload. It was the result of people trying to get weapons back into action after the shotgun, or other firearm, had sustained damage. Either the part of the longer barrel would become damaged or the rear stock became damaged. Rather than throw the weapon the weapon away the owner had the damaged parts removed. Often after this it was found that the weapon actually did its job "better" than the original design.
If I remember correctly ( I owned a Roadblocker, which is the same gun as the mag-10, only already set up as a riot gun), this conversion wouldn't actually be possible, as the gas cylinder at the front of the magazine tube would have had to have been re-located so far back, there'd be no space for the operating rod/action slide to move in. You can see this to some extent in the diagram at http://www.e-gunparts.com/productsc.....=076ZzMAG%2010
I don't know about that I purposely kept that in mind with the piece, and I have seen one Mag10 modifed by all things a Alaskan fishing boat owner to be a dispatch gun to kill giant halibut once they are brought alongside the boat and it had about the same barrel length. I've purposely tried not to disturb anything around the foreend/ gas cylinder. Now you would probably have to shorten the rear stock bolt because of the amputated rear stock though.
Pain? I doubt you'd feel a thing... lol
if i were ever sentenced to death, i would rather be shot in the head then have lethal injection.
they way the injection is less stressful, but to me it seems like you would suffer more knowing you just got shot in the arm with something that was gonna kill you then you would if someone just stuck a cap in you.
... not that im planning on being the victim of capital punishment any time soon, but if i did, i would make the prison guards shoot me by trying to shank them hoping one would hit me in the head.
(no im not suicidal or criminal, all im saying is what id do in that situation)
