Normally your answers are spot on the money
But halfway through your answer about sawn of shotguns you confused them with rifles , a completely different thing, and talked about “when the bullet comes out”
shotguns don’t fire bullets they fire “shot” aka pellets. ( Clue’s in the name !)

Where’s Swizzel’s Drumstick in the tags? I live around a mile away from the factory and often run past it on the canal tow-path. It’s got to be one of the most picturesque factories in the UK, and I get the smell for free without having to buy a candle. Take a look: https://www.flickr.com/photos/geraldinecurtis/25770354036
