what does shotgun gauge mean?
78564
Shotgun gauges are determined by the number of lead balls of a given diameter required to make one pound of that size ball. Thus 10 balls of 10 gauge diameter are required to make one pound of such balls, or 20 balls of 20 gauge diameter are required to make one pound, and so forth. This is the traditional, and very old, system. The actual (nominal) bore diameters of the various gauges are as follows: 10 gauge = .775 inch, 12 gauge = .729 inch, 16 gauge = .662 inch, 20 gauge = .615 inch, 28 gauge = .550 inch. The .410 is named for its nominal bore size, and is not a gauge at all.

it means to put your gear on and go "like go kill the bad guy" "gear like weapon uniform ect.."

Argentometry refers to quantitative analysis using silver (remember the symbol for silver is Ag comes from the Latin word "argentum" meaning "silver") For example, silver nitrate solution could be used to determine the concentration of hydrochloric acid by precipitating the chloride as silver chloride, then drying and weighing it. Silver's high atomic mass is useful here to give high precision.

Well, its smaller than a 12 or 16 gauge, but larger than a .410, so it just depends on what you're comparing it to.  I prefer a 12 for most of my shotgun hunting, but I know plenty of people who love bird hunting with a 20.  I suppose it just depends on what you want to use it for, but a 20 gauge has plenty of power to get the job done in most cases.

I do. I heard right handed people live an average of 10 years longer and shotgun means the passenger side I believe..right next to the driver.

i looked a little for ya, it is a confusing and vast subject, but This link may help with the ammunition;\n\nhttp://members.aol.com/vaquero760/ammo/amain.htm\n\nas for the guns them selves, as basic as it gets,\n\nshotguns = bird or deer hunting as well as "skeet/sport" shooting. There are 3 different types, "side by side" (2 barrels next to each other) "over-under" (2 barrels 1 on top of the other) and a "single barrel", this can be in "pump" (like in movies they manually pull the fore-grip back to re-load) or semi-auto (as a bullet is fired the gun re-loads itself. There are many "gauges" today typically they are 12ga. 16ga. & 20ga. (gauge is just a different term for the size of the bullet) They fire slugs (solid bullet) or "shot" (this is where it gets it's name, think of it as a bunch of BBs they come in different size as well)\n\nrifles= target, hunting, most any game other than birds. basically the bigger the caliber (or bullet size) the bigger the target i.e. deer vs brown bear.\n\nhandguns = personal defense, hunting, target. Basics, 2 types "revolver" (re-loads as you pull the trigger) this is your "cowboy" type gun, typically 6 bullets & \n"semi-auto" (re-loads it's self after each bullet) these are the firearms most police dept carry, and are used in most movies, they offer larger capacity, some up to 15 bullets typically these are easier to shoot for "first time shooters" calibers range just as rifles, different size for different job\n\nHope I didn't overwhelm you. If you would like someone to answer any questions, e-mail me direct I would be more than happy awtcw@comcast.net  :-)

Bound's hubby here:\n\nBreathe easy, your gun is legal! As "Boker" said, guns made prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968 were not required to have serial numbers. Your Iver Johnson shotgun falls into this category. The fact that the shotgun says "arms & cycle works" is the big clue that this shotgun was made (well) before 1968!\n\nIf there were a serial number, it would be visible on the receiver ... it is illegal (for the manufacturer) to cover the serial number. "HTR" is probably the final inspector's initials. By the way, before you shoot this, have it checked out by a competent and reputable gunsmith!\n\nGood luck!

the shotgun itself has a serial number on it but the round either buckshot or slug cannot be.

its a measuring instrument to measure the outer dimensions (inner also)of objects,usually at an accuracy of 0.01mm ,also called micrometer.\nthe main part of instrument is a screw and the pitch of the screw will be .5 mm for a .01mm least count screw gauge. and one rotation of the screw is marked  into 50 divisions.\none drawback of screw gauge is the zero error.\ndue to backlation but which can be easily corrected. there are digital micrometers also in the industry now

It means you have been caught without legal recourse.  Someone got you, and there's nothing you can do about it.\n\nIts an old cowboy saying.  In the old west the law often was dipensed at the end of pistol barrel.\n\nYou have no rights when you are dead.

In the American Wire Gauge (AWG) scale, 0000 gauge represents a wire having a diameter of 0.46 inch and 36 gauge represents a diameter of 0.005 inch (5 mils). Diameters for the other gauges are obtained by geometric interpolation, meaning that the ratio between successive diameters is a constant, except for necessary roundoff. Thus n gauge wire has a diameter of .005·92((36-n)/39) inch. The metric wire gauge number is equal to 10 times the diameter of the wire, in millimeters; thus a metric 8 gauge wire has diameter 0.8 millimeters.
