I Think Someone Had A Word With The 'Mail' Editorial Team...



Oh, wait. Maybe not. Should have removed this paragraph too..
Taylor, who is in a critical condition in hospital after undergoing surgery for a shotgun wound to his head, had posted a photograph of a handgun on his Facebook page late last year.

A Gun shot wound. A shotgun wound would have taken the bastards head clean off.

"Missing his brain by almost 6 feet". Nice of them to explain that the pistol in the illustration is not a revolver but it is not as though they are especially rare and surely a decent photo library must have a picture of one? You can fire a shotgun round from a Le Mat pistol but these are so rare and unusual that you are more likely to be injured by a .303" Bookworm (although clearly not in his case as he'd probably break all his fingers trying to open a book...)

The shotgun reference might not be inappropriate -search for "S&W Governor". It's a .45 revolver that will also chamber .410 shotshells. Handy piece of kit.

Hmm. Interesting.

It would, however, have blown his head clean off with a shotgun shell.

We (in less PC days gone by) used to joke about "Irish Roulette" - it's like Russian Roulette but with a semi-auto...

Sorry Furor but not with a .410 - even with buckshot as opposed to birdshot. Checkout this video if you are interested:

Aye. O.K. Maybe "Clean off" was a bit exagerated. But I doubt he would survive. IF properly placed!

(I HAVE used a large variety of weapons before. I KNOW what they can do.... ;-) )

So I Have I furor...and I don't think he did survive. Grade A asshole?
All the best,

Gun topics make irresistible bait for gun cretins.

"...and surely a decent photo library must have a picture of one?"

Yes. But it requires a decent operator to find it!

"It would, however, have blown his head clean off with a shotgun shell."

Well, people HAVE survived that. The US face-transplant chap, for one.
