Absolutely:
This is probably ancient history to most folks but in the "original", first, best, whatever, "Getaway" with Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw one of my favorite scenes is when Steve McQueen (as "Doc" McCoy) is in a hardware store in some small Texas Town, with Ali McGraw parked outside waiting for him.. They are on the run from a bank robbery.
Two Sheriff's deputies slowly cruise by and stop when they see the car Ali is in and they are on the lookout for.
Steve McQueen sees a 12ga. pump HiStandard Riot shotgun on the shelf and asks to look at it. He says he'll take it, and hand him some shotgun shells for it.. 00buck?
Anyway he loads it, goes outside to confront the deputies. He makes them lay down in the street and throw their guns away. He then proceeds to make a wreck of their police car with his newly acquired 12ga.
I located and bought the same HiStandard model shotgun just like that shortly thereafter, and it still resides as my "bump in the night" firearm of choice in our bedroom closet.
It IS a pretty awesome little piece of firepower. (I prefer #4 buck).
