I wonder how many barns burned down because of that dangerous mouse trap besides the people that accidentally shot themselves in the face with it. This one should never be used by someone that doesn't know anything about firearms, Shawn is a professional so he knows it's dangerous. I'd plug that barrel and just use it for display.
