quote. It seems to aptly describe the absurd. Your recontextualization (izzat a word?) of the original takes it another step...

why is smoke coming from the top of the gun as well as the barrel? CTyankee Feb 2013 #19

It's a ported barrel, keeps the gun from popping up (important for skeet & hunting) X_Digger Feb 2013 #25

Oh, it's that simple? well... CTyankee Feb 2013 #29

Yes the barrel is ported... MicaelS Feb 2013 #40

It makes eminent good sense! I don't know why I didn't assume the obvious... CTyankee Feb 2013 #42

Yup, it serves the same purpose as muzzle compensators on guns like the AR-15 X_Digger Feb 2013 #45

The same that is on the shotgun in the Obama pic? CTyankee Feb 2013 #48

No, different means, but same purpose. X_Digger Feb 2013 #51

so the gun doesn't "hit you in the face" after you shoot it? Right? Or, hit you in the shoulder? CTyankee Feb 2013 #52

Instead of jumping up 5-6", it only pops up 1-2". X_Digger Feb 2013 #53

It reduces the tendency of the gun to rise. NutmegYankee Feb 2013 #54

yeah, yeah, I get that, easy...I didn't realize how simple this is... CTyankee Feb 2013 #55

does it make the shooter's aim less accurate and/or make it more dangerous ((or CTyankee Feb 2013 #62

Doesn't detract from aim, nor make the gun more dangerous, no. X_Digger Feb 2013 #63
