True enough - I'd take a single shot over no shot!

I guess my point was that forcing someone to make a great shot in a survival situation might be counterproductive. Sure, it means that they don't waste ammo, but what if the hands or cold, or the eye is blurred or bloodied or the hand is broken? I can think of a lot of reasons why it would be a bad idea to have a single shot weapon that I would need to reload. But in a survival situation, it's the reasons I can't think of that make me believe a single shot gun has no place in my survival gear. Having a pre-loaded magazine could save my bacon someday. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
