I finally published my article on Japan worship and how retarded it is. I might update it, but it's all there for you to see.

@ryo @ArdainianRight @cee I don't know of the top of my head. They usually measure the caliber and not the length of the gun itself. I think the average length of a sawed-off is around 18 inches (the US legal limit last time I checked). A standard shotgun is probably 24 inches, maybe.
@ryo @ArdainianRight @cee Can't you just make pistols for the time being?
@ryo @ArdainianRight @cee They're handguns (which are illegal in your country). But they aren't shotguns.
@ryo @ArdainianRight @cee Shotguns shoot a straight walled cartridge that discharges into sub projectiles. Pistols just shoot lead bullets.
