Hmmmmmmmmm:
I have a bunch of Shotguns, but I never figured to use one of them like that. Now thats what I call letting your temper get the best of you!
My Impact wrench will either unscrew the nut off of the lug or completely twist the lug off, so I`v never been faced with the delima of not bieng able to get a wheel off. NOPE NO shotgun needed here. {other than for hunting or trap & skeet shooting}

People just do dumb things with guns. Knew a guy that mounted an old rifle barrel on a shotgun frame. Proud as could be. Took the contraption out to test fire it. The firing pin exited out the rear in a hurry, took a piece out of the frame of his glasses and creased his forehead before poking a hole through his hat. Then decided he wasn't a gunsmith.

Have you ever been to the Tacoma area? I can't say I'm all that surprised...not that it couldn't happen here...I'm just not surprised it happened there.
Anyhoo-
The young, new motor pool private was tasked to change out the wheels on a truck. On the first wheel, he couldn't budge the lug nuts no matter how hard he tried. No wrench, cheater bar or impact made a difference. The sarge saw this going on, but went about his business, letting the private try to figure this out on his own. Finally, after 4 hours, without a word, the sarge walked over, got the torch, heated up each lug nut a bit and removed all of them in a matter of minutes as the private watched. After he completed the wheel, he turned to the private, handed him the torch and said: "You just have to be smarter than the lug nut."

The guy is shooting a 50 cal. Watch the dust when he fires. Thetarget, a steel plate, was 100 yards away. You can hear the ping of the hit, then the bullet comes back and hits a few yards in front of him before hitting his earmuffs.
You can hear the bullet as it tumbles through the air on its course back towards the shooter.
He's lucky it hit the dirt first. He is okay, and obviously very lucky. The bullet grazed his temple.

Slug? Probably take the nut, stud, and half the rim off if it didn't bounce back and take his leg off first.
Here's another winner - My Wifes Dad...
I once watched my father in law (from a distance) shoot a full sized white faced hornets nest established in the corner soffet of his shed with #6 shot. I tried to explain to him that his single shot 12 gauge with #6 shot wouldn't do the job cause he couldn't reload it fast enough, didn't have enough pellets, not to mention the damage to the shed, etc., etc., but he didn't listen like usual. Well, after the first shot about a dozen of them bees came down and stung him so he decided to get even by throwing some gasoline on them and light em up. At this point in the story you should have a picture of a guy with a five gallon pail throwing about a half gallon of gas on the side of his shed. Then imagine what it looked like as he tried to light it. Then Whoosh! Good thing he's a volunteer fireman and had all those fire extinguishers laying around. The exterior wall and corner of the roof was only slightly charred but he got those bees! Yes, alcohol was definitely involved and this is something nobody should try.

Off topic, But this reminds me of an experiance I had some years back.
A group of us guys were up in the mountains hunting Deer.
We had parked our vehicles in a small clearing next to some trees, in one tree was a wasp nest {somewhat larger than a football} hanging from a limb.
It was qiute cold the morning we arrived {Wasps were inside I guess keeping warm}.
One of the guys desides this nest is quite intersting in that it had a percular shape and was quite uniform, so he plucks it from the branch and puts it in the back of his pickup truck shell.
We go out hunting, about midday we come back to camp {By now the temp. has risen to the mid 70`s}
This same guy figures it is a good idea to place his rifle in the sleeper shell. {you can by now see where this is going}.
Needless to say I WAS paying quite close attention to him and his intentions and decided it would be a good idea for me to move closer to my Bronco.
As he opened the shell door I also opened the door on my Ford and got in and immediately closed the door behind me.
As you might guess, I had quite a good laugh at the guys scarmbling for cover {most didn`t make it without getting attacked}
I never laughed so hard in all my life!
