He knew he was going to die so he through safety  to the wind. He had nothing to loose. That makes a man very dangerous.

My grandfather had a 10 guage shotgun. I got to shoot it once as a teenager. It almost knocked me down when I shot it. I wish I could have gotten that gun.

Doc was deadly for 2 reasons. 1 He didnt care if lived or died.  2 He was actually a very good with gun and knife.

Since the shotgun was given to him by vigil, Virgil probably took it back after the shooting

Fun Fact-The still shot at 4:36 of Everett from “Appaloosa”, is actually an 8 Gauge.

Doc was a badass involved in many saloon fights and knife fights and shootouts. He is known to have killed Mike Gordon in 1879 in New Mexico and Tom McLaury at the OK Corral. He was with Wyatt when Frank Stillwell was shot 6 times with pistol and rifle and shotgun. He was with Wyatt when he killed Curly Bill Brocious and Florentino ‘Indian Charlie’ Cruz who was shot 3 times. Doc fled Georgia after getting into a fight and shootout with black US Calvary soldiers in Valdosta. Doc’s reputation was well known and deserved.

The Earps were acquitted from the coroner's report. The Cowboys all lied saying the dead had their hands up in surrender but they had wounds in their arms indicating they were pointing their guns at the shooters.

Hey Doc Holliday,
“I’m your Huckleberry!” 🤣🤣🤣

I have a 10 gauge shotgun. It has a big kick to it.  It shoots a 3 1/2 in shell. Single shot, 36 in barrel. Some say it kills on both ends. It will put a big bruise on your shoulder.

I had a short barrel 410 gauge with a piston grip and that little beasty could redecorate a room pretty good. A 10 gauge , damn...

You make a paragraph into a 1000 page book

The 10 guage with slug is a small artillery piece

And Doc carried three pistols, a 45 caliber peacemaker a 41 caliber thunder 6 inch and also a 4 inch barrel 41 caliber thunder in a chest holster under his vest no 38 caliber. He also was known to sometimes carry a double well Derringer and it also was not 38 caliber. It was a 44 years before he died he was known to also have a bulldog which is a 3 inch barrel snug nose, 44 cal

"The Wild West (talking about Tombstone's ordinance) had tighter gun laws in 1881 than plenty of Cities have today . . . "
And how well observed and effective were those laws in the good old days? Think about that.

Hollywood made the O.K. Corral look glamorous, but the real story feels way darker and crazier the deeper you dig into it. Knowing what Doc Holliday actually carried into that fight somehow makes the whole legend feel even more dangerous and real.

I have a 19 inch barreled, double barreled, 8 gauge , was my dads. In 32 years I have fired it 3 times.
No matter how hard you pull it into your shoulder, still gives a nice bruise .

@5:34 Black powder shot gun , muzzle velocity = About 900 feet per second , 18 inch barrel at 10 feet = shot spread about 10 inches .
18 pellets hitting a 10 inch wide circle .

Doc é sempre stato il mio preferito. Wild Billy, secondo molti il miglior pistolero del west, disse che non avrebbe mai voluto battersi con lui. Bel racconto.

2:44 bro makes an unintentional argument against gun laws
