You might end up with a heavy-duty shoulder stock and a sniper-grade rear sight, attached to a pepperbox pistol's multiple barrels. It'd look rather silly.
Or (considering you're talking about mating rifles) you might get a blunderbuss.

Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

I DO have a papered brace of 1847 Walkers... THAT ought to avoid what you describe... assuming they are not both the same sex... wait a mo... how would you tell?Dave wrote:Not a great idea, Sarge.

Yes, that's old enough that they would pre-date the development of F1 hybridization. They're certainly "traditional", I imagine they're "heirloom". Dunno about "open pollenated" but the odds seem good... all that black-powder smoke tended to drift around the battlefield and didn't care whose cylinders it got into. So, there's a decent chance they'll breed true if they're still fertile (which is a potential area of concern given their age).Sgt. Howard wrote:I DO have a papered brace of 1847 Walkers...

Hard to tell for sure. Chromosome analysis of firearms is a field of science that in its infancy.assuming they are not both the same sex... wait a mo... how would you tell?
I guess all you can do is hope for the best. Put them in warm, comfortable surroundings, turn on some soft music, open a bottle of champagne (or a magnum of Hoppes #9 if that's more to their tastes), leave them in privacy, and listen for the sound of little derringers scampering around after a while.

Re: Gratuitous Gun Porn
Original Walkers were smoothbore- no rifling. The repops are all right hand rifling. ... they do ignore each other... and I caught one of them eyeing the cat... hmmm...shadowinthelight wrote:Would the direction of the striations in the barrel not be an indicator?Sgt.

or you might end up with something like THIS... and to preempt anyone asking: Yes, it IS a normal sized one, it's just sitting on a table in that panel, and the floor and the table top coloring looks very similar, until the next page when you can see the difference better...

Yeah...pretty much what she would do, because Arianna probably would freak at the pr nightmare squishing another macho male would bring...though the fan art he did about her meeting Deadpool left so much open for the imagination Puddin'.Sgt.
