Tha Madcow pic . . . That rifle is something along the lines of a .44 WCF or, more probably, a .45 Colt. It looks as if there's serious fouling at the muzzle--lead, most likely. As for the hose clamp, well, that looks as if it's a "field-expedient" sling swivel.
As for s(P)ammy and her Glock, what's the range on one of those--maybe 50 meters? Tops? Hell, I can take the Model Seven and hit something at 300-400 meters and not even think about it. C'mon, s(P)ammy, let's meet on the field and we'll see whose head is turned into a canoe.
