About
What it is, and why it matters
The Franchi 2005 is an Italian over-and-under break-action trap shotgun chambered in 12 gauge for 2 3/4-inch shells. Built by Luigi Franchi of Brescia for competitive trap shooting, it was typically supplied as a 'combination' set pairing a 32-inch over/under barrel section (full and improved-modified chokes) with an interchangeable 34-inch single full-choke barrel. It features a single selective trigger, automatic ejectors, a ventilated high rib with dual bead sights, and a checkered walnut stock with a high fluted comb.
Franchi's 2005 Combination was a trap shooter's do-everything set: one cased gun with an over/under barrel pair for doubles and a long single barrel for singles trap, letting a competitor cover the whole card without changing guns.
Part of Franchi's 2003/2004/2005 competition trap family of the mid-to-late 1970s. The '2005 Combination' was sold as a cased set with both single and over/under barrels, allowing the shooter to switch between singles and doubles trap events.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
