Which is logical, if you think about it.  That's how I set caps off as a kid 
- never bothered with a gun, just used a hammer on the back steps.  It worked

I'd say you're right.  I don't know enough about automatics to have an 
opinion about them.  I'm more the type to keep a machete under the bed. [at 
this point though, all that's under it are a ton of books and a few jigsaw 
puzzles]
