lets put it this way if I had an 8 gauge shot gun and I shot you it would be more likely to kill (Depending on range) easer to miss but a heck of a kick/punch now if I shot you with a 20 gauge I would be more likely to hit you but less likely to kill you (depending on range) the smaller the gauge the more kick/more punch but yes a 20 gauge shell is larger than a 8 gauge.
Ok, someone needs to go back to English 101. Let’s think about this, because the recoil of a 20 gauge is smaller then that of an 8 gauge, it’s more accurate? I thought that the recoil came after the weapon had been aimed and then fired. About the only way this makes sense is if you are talking about the weight of the weapon, yes an 8 gauge would weight more, and thus would make it harder to aim, but that could be fixed by a proper firing stance. And one more time for all those who did not see, the smaller the gauge number, that larger the actual shell size.
Although, I do have to give you the whole range thing. This can even be seen in Halo. At about 30 feet all you can do is piss an Elite off, but at 2 feet, well you will be picking up the pieces for the next week.
Oh, and StealthAttack117, if you don't care; it’s easy, DON’T POST!
