Talk:Browning Citori

message: Why is there smoke venting laterally (or is it upwards?) in the Obama picture in the article? One expects a see a jet of smoke issuing forward from the muzzle; is there a hole in the side of the gun barrel, and why? — O'Dea (talk) 18:28, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently the President's Browning Citori has ported barrels.  That is, there are a series of small holes or ports cut into the barrels, and some of the smoke and hot gasses from the shotgun shell come out from there.  If you click through and look at that photo at full magnification, you can see the barrel ports.  The theory is that ported barrels tend to reduce recoil and muzzle flip, making the gun easier to shoot.  There's some debate about how much it helps.  If you do a google search for "ported barrel" you can get more info about this. — Mudwater (Talk) 21:02, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, that is interesting. Pictures of the barrel online show something resembling a tin whistle, with all those holes. The article about muzzle brakes explains ports, too. I will add a note explaining the smoke pattern to the image description. — O'Dea (talk) 04:18, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

message: The article contains a photo of President Obama firing a shotgun while shooting skeet.  Should the caption say that the photo was staged or otherwise faked? — Mudwater (Talk) 23:36, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
