    I knew someone with a Remington that did exactly that - didn't matter how many rounds you loaded it always jammed after the 2nd round

    Gun City managing director David Tipple said most of the weapons were shotguns for duck shooting or hitting clay targets.

    He presumed the owner of the guns had other family members and friends who were hunters, as it seemed like a lot of guns for one person.

    It also says 5000 rounds of shotgun ammo was stolen - the getaway vehicle would have had saggy suspension afterwards!

    Somebody said they hated the use of that word recently in another thread - I can see why now. Saying 'Weapon' instead of firearm / rifle / shotgun etc instantly invokes the idea of 'gun nut' into the equation.

    As for me - calling them weapons is a bad habit left over from my time in the grunts. They were weapons and everything we did revolved around keeping them in working order and within 3m of us at all times. I hated those rust farms by the end to be honest. I never want to see another steyr aug / minimi / mag58 ever again haha
