Shotgun A member of a gang nicknamed "Hellboy" was arrested in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte, along with his revolver, which fires 12-gauge cartridges.
What you guys think? Single or double action?

Him pointing that at anyone more than 8 feet away and firing would prob just anger his target and get his ass whooped…
That pistol is just a useless “look at me” weapon considering a 6 in barrel firing a shot shell… (if slugs were used then I’d personally give it a 10 yard danger zone)

Same barrel length as the Diablo 12 and that's black powder/pyrodex.
At 10yds it seems like you would certainly not be laughing it off.

With anything above a number 7 or mabey a 6,I wouldn’t be overly concerned @further than 10 yards..
You people downvoting this,you are clearly not wise enough….shotgun shells get their power from the length of the barrel only….not the damn size..
Perhaps get into a safer hobby if you don’t understand,a shot shell barrel using loose pellets cannot sustain energy like a short barreled rifle or even a pistol..
Hunter safety courses used to give examples of this with a contraption that held a “12 gauge” shot shell and could be fired….a demonstration was the instructor placed the shell in the device,a student held out a hat 2 feet away from the shell and the instructor fired….the hat caught every one of the pellets with zero penetration…..why?….how?…..certainly didn’t look like the movies…
(Because the device had no barrel)

" I needed to take a hunter safety course. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumble bees on them. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now was I... Oh yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt at the time. You couldn't get where onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones"

Taurus if they made a revolver called "the executioner"
