Kurt Cobain committed suicide with a lethal dose of heroin and a 20-gauge chaser.

Authorities have released photos of the shotgun that Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain used to commit suicide, and true to their reputation for accuracy, CNN blew the story.

The shotgun in question is quite clearly not a Remington, but was in fact a 20-gauge Browning Auto 5.

The Auto 5 was patented by John Browning in 1900, and was in production for nearly 100 years. It has since been supplanted by the A5, a completely new shotgun that borrows only the name and the distinctive “hump” from the original.

How CNN got “Remington” into the story remains a mystery.

It is just the latest in the continuing cycle of gaffes by a mainstream media that feels compelled to write about firearms constantly, yet never bothers to hire reporters who know the first thing about firearms.
