Line 173:
* A sawed-off shotgun was the weapon of choice of Clyde Barrow. It hung from a strap around his shoulder so that he could easily conceal it under his coat, and quickly raise it up into a firing position.
** Another favorite of the Barrow gang was a cut-down [[Big Freaking Gun|BAR]]. Not quite the same, but it's an automatic rifle with a shortened stock and barrel. Quite possibly MORE badass.
* Both Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold carried sawed-off shotguns during the [[Useful Notes/Columbine|Columbine]] High School massacre.
* This isn't always a modification, the Ithaca Auto & Burglar (1922) was a known as a "factory-built sawed-off shotgun" and aimed at police forces. Er...make that ''sold to'' police forces.
** Ditto for breaching shotguns, which often have a shorter barrel for ease of wielding and are made for destroying door locks, usually by using powdered lead rather than shot.
