One of the coolest things about a good ole 12gauge is that you can get all kinds of special ammo for them, like those "bird bomb" things thats supposed to be like an M-80 that fires out of your shotgun. They also make Flachette rounds and rounds that explode on impact, ive also seen some type of flame thrower round. You can even buy those bean bag rounds now if your a little squeamish about actually killing someone that breaks into your home. I havent tried any of those exotic rounds but I would like to. If anyone has tried any of these please tell me about how they worked. They have alot of this stuff on www.gunbroker.com

Tried a box of those "bird bomb" rounds in the Mossberg 590; they travel about 200 ft and make a most satisfying bang.

Since we live out in the boonies, I plan to keep a few around for "sending messages" to trespassers. (I prefer the ones that do not whistle enroute.) That sudden blast overhead should make an intruder wonder what sort of war zone he'd stumbled into -- and what sort of incoming might be right behind that first round... '-)
