Magnum's Daily Rate?
Scott
GovtMan: "Well Whatdya say Magnum, are you in?"
TM: "For two hundred dollars a day plus expenses."
Gman:"Two Hundred dollars a day! What are you trying
to do, rip off your own government?"
TM: "I don't do that, but goodwill doesn't keep the
finance companies and landlords off my back."
I always got a good chuckle out of that last line.
From Skin Deep, Gary Holmes says:
"Magnum's fee is $500 per day."
(Also to those in the know I believe Higgins said in this
episode that there were 12 projectiles in the Buckshot
shell (don't know if he mentioned the size of same),
I thought there were 8-9 in 00-0 shot?)
I don't have that ep on tape does anyone know if this
is accurate?
From Paniolo:
D. Romas 250/day + exp
G. Holmes 200/day
Help, prices are changing faster than Walmart.
Anyone have any recollections of these or other eps that
TM mentions his all too infrequently collected daily rates?
BTW Rob, the addition of GH's comments is really quite a nice
addition to the site. The descriptions are thorough enough
to really jog the memory although if you haven't seen the ep
or it's been so long that you don't remember it, beware gentle
readers, spoilers ahead!

For a 12 gauge, usually 8 .33 caliber balls in a 00 load.

Then why, pray tell, should we not ban other rifles that
shoot that same .223 cartridge in the same semi - auto
fashion as an "assault rifle" when the substantive difference
between the two is that one has a kinder and gentler wood
stock and the other a military style appearance?

I have shot deer on many occasions - with my camera
that is - but I dare say "Buckshot" has been used on same
an occasion or two.....

but it doesn't have the stopping power that an assault rifle does. I am not
an authority on the subject by any means, but a rifle shooting a .223
caliber bullet will have much more accuracy and stopping power. The barrel
is rifled, which sends the bullet at the target spinning. What happens when
a spinning projectile hits the target? It spreads and spins, mutilating
everything in its path.
A shotgun has a smooth bore and even though it has more projectiles, they
don't have the concentration or the velocity to do a lot of killing.
Damage, yes. That's why shotguns are used in riots because they can be
loaded with rock salt to disperse the crowd. Nice wide pattern. Lots of
people use shotguns for home defense because they are cheap and you should
be able to hit what you are aiming at in CQB even if you are no marksman.
Not a lot of stopping power, but anyone who takes some buckshot will
certainly be slowed down so you can get away.
Deer hunters use shotguns, but they change to a rifled slug barrel and shoot
one large projectile. Why? More velocity, accuracy, and more killing
power. You'll never kill a deer with a regular shotgun and shot.
Sorry to offend anyone who is against guns.

Thanks David, you seem the most knowledgeable with
regard to the topic at hand. This fact points to the inanity
of banning a weapon based upon its appearance ie, the
assault rifle ban. (Inflammatory name as it is, people assault,
guns don't.) Someone intent on carnage could use a
shotgun to a much more devastating impact with each
shell containing 8 or 9 projectiles, each capable of killing.
So why not ban shotguns too?
Just think, if Algore voters had read "Voting for Dummys"
we might be lining up like animals to the slaughter to
obtain his suggested "firearm license" while the criminals
enjoy a good laugh.

Earth to Rob. If you had followed the thread
you would know we were not espousing banning
anything, can you say devil's advocate?

This is an unmoderated group. That doesn't mean that anything goes. It
means that we are self-policing. It has always been the policy to let off
topic discussions run for a time, and then suggest that they be moved to a
more appropriate discussion area.
So don't get your knickers in a twist.
