Inspired by r/nosleep, but without the "Everything here is true" and "You can't criticize the OP" rule. Post your scariest original short stories here.
Rules are simple:
- Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
- No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
- Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
- Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
- Collaborative storytelling is fun, so if you'd like to continue your own story or other people's story as a series in the comments, start your comment with [CHAIN]
- Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

The sound of a 12 gauge shotgun being pumped is the universal sound of "wrong house, motherfucker".
I know, and you can manually cycle a round by pulling the bolt back and releasing to get the same effect on a modern semi-auto action.
You're arguing it's cooler to crank start your Ford Model T at the beginning of a drag race against other modern race cars nearby becuase it has legacy. That's really fucking dumb. Buy a modern weapon.
It's not nearly the same effect. Additionally, a pump action shotgun is not a Model T Ford. I can pop two clays at the skeet range with my pump, just as easily as I can with my over-under. I shot a Benelli auto a few weeks ago at the range and felt that my Mossberg pump was more accurate. That could just be due to my familiarity with it, but the point stands. A pump action shotgun is a fine weapon. Sure, it's not as quick as a semi-auto in a combat situation, but I highly doubt that's going to matter for 99.9% of legal gun owners.
The car equivalent would be revving the engine at standstill. That would be pointless in an EV.
It is cooler to crank start a model T though
Like modern cars are 'push this button to start' that's boring as fuck.
