I said functional. I figure I could fire off 3 10 gauge shells and utilize every piece of therapeutic equipment I have at the clinic.
Maybe you could devise a way where the horrific recoil of the super goose is PART of the therapy?
It would maybe turn into a big hit with outsdoorsman - who could brag that they've just been in to see Dr. Recoil for his patented "super goose adjustment"
It would be a terrific thoracic p to a adjustment tool.

wait, so you never use 3.5"?
I don't get out to hunt too often and I seldom get out 3.5" shells, but theoretically, I can think of 3 reasons for 3.5" shells:
1. The bird continues its forward momentum as the string of shot makes impact. The shot cloud is longer and will therefore cover a greater area of your target as momentum carries the target forward and BBs continue to impact.
2. Your shot will be traveling 600-750 mph (depending on distance) while the bird is going 10-30mph. If broader impact is invalid due to the high rate of shot speed (closer shots) it only means then that more shot is impacting the same area, JUST LIKE A 10ga. You effectively have a 10ga at closer ranges.
3. Choke selection notwithstanding, a longer shot string at farther distances is more forgiving of imprecise shots. Birds flying away or shot clouds placed to the right or left of the body leaves trailing shot to snag a wing or for the bird to fly into if you get out ahead of it too far. (It's safe to say I don't have a problem leading moving targets too far out.)
I have shot many different guns, but this Beretta A400 mrs johnr let me buy a couple months ago, is the softest shooting gun I have ever shot. Look forward to a season of roosters out of it, over in Heron SD of course...haha
My Benelli 20 gauge will be my early season gun, but after a couple weeks into the season...game on, and maybe even with 3 1/2's.

There is a couple beers in this office. Sadly, they are not coursing through my vasculature.
Here's the edit, Guy: makes your back go pop.
An old box of 2 3/4" lead deuces would be my choiceThumbs Up.

I heard the fine for hunting quackers with lead is about $75 and a non-criminal violation. That's tempting. Alas, what would I tell the kids? Daddy is a rotten apple? Nyet.
