What kind of shotgun shells are we talking about here, birdshot, buckshot?

Slingshot

He ain’t hitting him with that pistol. That shotgun is like printing money. Easiest one yet. Nice knowing you SR

it's a conspiracy. Game know Game.

JK But you all really need to factor in the prep time. That's all

I'm sorry SR . You seemed really nice.

Bowser is easily distracted by a new username he thought of for bugbeater and gets smoked by SR

The distance man... he’s got all the time in the world.

Yeah a revolver is hard to hit something with if one doesn't shoot one on a regular basis. If I had the shotgun, I would crawl within 40-50 yards and fire the first one or two rounds, particularly if the shells are 00 buck. The slingshot would be irrelevant in this case.

Especially if you’re running like Bo Jackson in Tecmo Super Bow with the zig zag pattern. He isn’t hitting shit with that pistol.

ROFL

What would a person use when they're hunting another person? We'll go with that.

00 or 000 buck shot, probably 00 buck, unless it's an urban setting. I have my 12 gauge next to the bed loaded with #4buck.

I'd use a slug. I can hit within 2" at 50 yards with the benelli

Thanks guys - **** off!

Rainman did this on purpose because I interrupted the event - that's fine - i'm not helping with any blood cleanup or weaponry distribution. Congrats though - i think this is literally the first time I've been defeated in anything on this dumb website - LMAO

Dude , don't take it personal. We all love you but now you are dead. It's life.

SR wins. He'd be all nice and shit, probably bring bowser a nice Antico's pizza, and when he's not expecting it, gut shot.

Naw I don't think I could do that to bowser. LMAO

ROFL Awesome.

I'm not - it was rigged though - it's clear. HAHA - I don't care - have fun with this.

I say simply red win cause he have space and enough time to prep traps and hide in sand dunes to wait out.

ROFL I love nut posts!

I voted for myself - just to be a jerk.

A key to winning is to have the will to win. Did Captain Kirk give up when he faced that big reptile thing in a classic desert arena? No! He bought time and used natural materials to fashion a crude cannon.

the blame game never helped anyone - you're right.


LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a weapons guy. What' the effective range on these two weapons?

12 minutes to prep? shit, son! all SR has to due is go into camo mode, gilly suit, whatevs!! that much time to hide in the desert to ambush bowser. i don't see how SR loses!!

Thank you - now; Mr. Kotter - Log in to all of your accounts and up-vote me - hurry - I'm dying over here!

The shotgun with 00 buck 50-60 yards for accuracy, but the buck will also kill at a greater distance than that. The revolver will have the greater range, but most people can't hit anything with a revolver. A revolver or pistol is designed more for close quarter shooting. Unless a person has some regular practice with one, good luck on hitting anything over 20-25 yards max.

please update the OP - I have shat out a Mac 10!

LMAO LMAO

LMAO I hope you ate a salad with that.

The OP said " A sawed-off shotgun ".... I think that makes a difference.. A sawed off shotgun is a close quarters weapon...
I think if SR has some patience and maybe find some where to hide he may pull this off.... If he can get Bowser to waste some shots from a distance....
Ok I've talked myself into it....sorry buddy....voting for SR...

It would depend on what the term sawed off means, what length? Granted the shorter the barrel, the more the shot is going to spread out, but your still talking a minimum of eight (Depending on if the round is 2 3/4, 3" or 3 1/2") .38 caliber balls of doom heading out of the 12 gauge.

I have no idea what SR's experience is with a revolver, hell, perhaps he's the Chuck Norris of handguns? I was assuming that both of them had equal experience with firearms.

Hard to say. Too many unknowns. How far is it sawed off, single shot, double barrel, shooting slugs, 00, birdshot?
How long is the 45?
So many variables.

Yeah, in the end you gotta go with the shotgun.

Right. And Bowser would probably be too busy scheming on how to send me more Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards memorabilia. Whereas SR is far too nice for any of that noise.

Edge to SR.

Heh, Bowser is over in Jamaica sucking down funny little umbrella cocktails as I type. :hmmm: It may be time for a little BAWAN!! mod on mod abuse in his absence! :evil:

2279 feet starting distance. someone is doing some running to get into kill range.

Sorry Simply Red. :(

Thanks - One thing in life is - we find out who I true friends (like you) are.:clap:

Bowser wins if he can close the distance to 0 to 30 yards.

Simply wins if he has any competence with a hand gun at 40yards and below.

Simply should have gotten a mini Review Brah with napkin and knife

Interesting. :hmmm:

Does Bowser have to count to 720 aloud with his eyes closed while SR preps? If so, I vote for SR.

Simply Red casually waits for Bowser to leap, runs under him hitting the switch activating the trap door, knocking Bowser into the lava.

ROFL

Simply Red is too nice to fight.

This was too easy. Simply Red, after insisting we share a bottle of Giacomo Conterno Monfortino before the showdown, blows his dick off by mistake after realizing there is no good place to hold a Colt .45 on a Giorgio Armani Melange Two Piece Wool other than in the waist band. After he drunkenly shoves the .45 down the front of his pants and the head of his special purpose, I give him mercy by turning his head into a canoe with my Mad Max Special (Mel Gibson era, or course).

RIP, sweet prince.

TY

Upon first sight, Bowser is overwhelmed with SR's sartorial splendor. Sporting the latest Prada Game eyewear & Ferragamo suede camo boots, SR is an unstoppable force of nature. Bowser realizes that his vintage army surplus accoutrement is no match for the "Rambo of Haute Couture". Bowser surrenders immediately. SR, kind soul that he is, spares Bowser & treats him to a "nice" dinner at Bacchanalia.

You guys are forgetting the Bi Polar sneak attack. SR in a walk.

SR:
I would consult the Gladiator Competitive Commitee.
This was a serious mismatch.
I hope you at least showed up dressed nice and sheeet

Yeah I know - I needed to lose to remember what it feels like.

Jean Paul Gaultier!

I just 30 day snoozed Rain Man and Bowser on Facebook.

I will avenge you, friend

:D:clap:

Boooooooo:#

But does make sense because SR is the kinder gentler Gladiator.

I do not think you guys understand the impact of Bi Polar...

He was banned

I will disclose the hootie files upon a comeback - if I win I will disclose Hootie's classified email to me - for all to see.

What do you call a smiling Roman soldier with a piece of hair stuck between his teeth?


A Glad-He-Ate-Her!

Yeah. I'd say 20-25 feet for a kill shot if you're out of practice. With only six rounds SR can't even lay down distracting shots. I voted for SR though just to make him feel better.

Gunshots ring out over the desert landscape. Five minutes later, bowser comes over a dune, his shotgun slung over his back, dragging Simply Red behind him. Bowser moves on.

Simply Red...more like Simply Ded! M I RITE?

I'll go with SR.

Bowser doesn't have a mean bone in his body and SR would simply kill him with kindness.

Prolly hug him while he died.

thanks for the late votes, those are all very kind gestures.

SR is ****ed here. six shot revolvers are iffy at any more than about 10 yards

Is this a zombie SR that is hugging him? SR already died, dude.

Aha! I found it.

Good job.

LOL. I kept scanning the page for Match 3, but only saw Match 2. It was actually seeing your name that made me realize I hadn't voted in here yet. :)

it was over before it started. I was set up for failure - thanks Rain Man.

And luv then turned Simply Red's skull over to the authorities.
