It's a shotgun but I don't know what gage (it's not my gun, I don't own any).

Bad_karma, the M1 Garand, is that the rifle that throws out the clip when the last round is fired?


The gauge is the diameter of a shotgun barrel. Oddly enough, the calibar increases inversely to the gauge (i.e., a 12-gauge is higher calibar than a 20-gauge).

Yes, the M1 carries an 8-round clip that shoots itself off with a distinctive "ping" when the last round is fired. Probably the only disadvantage of the rifle...

I haven't seen very many gun stores that carry them. Are you in the states? If you are, you could try www.auctionarms.com, which is basically like eBay for guns, or you could get one through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (www.odcmp.com). They can get pricey though. I bought mine for $500, as did a friend of mine, but nowadays they're about $1000 or so...
