Default Lupara

I was threatened with a Lupara when attempting to elope with a Mafia princess from Catania/Sicily back in the '70s (1970s!!). It didn't have a trumpet muzzle but it was loaded with rock salt.

The other flaw of loading a gun with random junk is that lack of consistent shot weight or aerodynamics.
A load of bird, buck or pistol balls is nicely repeatable.

Brass has the advantage of easyer to work and its more likey to bulge then it is split.

Hopefully you avoided that assault! Being peppered with that would have stung.
