Say your prayers Weezer
smooth bore though, so who knows if you'll hit literally any of them
I think these were intended for ship captains as a last resort against mutineers.
More about threatening a crowd than actual marksmanship.
Evenly spaced and no more than 4 feet away.
I just visited a historical battleship museum and at the small arms locker they had a list of all the dozens of pistols, rifles, light machine guns, and so forth they had on board... and also three or four short-barreled shotguns that a contemporary crewman account affectionately referred to as "mutiny guns."
Oh, hey! Same one Mechagodzilla uses!
