As always when  SHOT Show comes to Orlando, you can find plenty of  girls with guns. What's hard to find, though, is a girl with guns who knows how to use them. Here is Pistol Packin‚ Paula, who is definitely not your standard booth babe. Paula has been twirling six-shooters for 16 years, and entertains crowds with fancy gun handling and riding. She shoots balloons off horseback, getting close enough to pop them with blanks.

"I can't use live ammunition or I'd kill my audience," she says.

Sometimes new guns aren't ready for SHOT Show. What manufacturers usually do is cobble together a prototype, show it to us and lie about when we'll see production models. Not Benelli.
