DRAGON CLAW | .50 Cal SHOT SHELLS

[@MihaiLeonardoNiculescu]

Happy birthday to your daughter! May she be healthy at all times! 🎉

[@primalcode3057]

Amen

[@halfcirclehranch]

Hope you and yours had a great 2nd Birthday celebration with your daughter. After watching your video, I decided to tie up the comments controversy. I grabbed my Wingshot II, a couple #8 shells, a good sized sheet of cardboard, and a tape measure. I put on my stovepipe hat and went out for a pattern test. I shot first at 15 yards and measured my shot spread, which was only 5 inches, and a really nice, tight cluster of shot. I moved the target down to 6 paces past my 25 yard tree (yes, I have a 25 yard tree) and took another shot. This one measured 14 inches, although if I eliminated the one pellet which flew extra wide, it would have been 12. Of interesting note, on the first shot, the center of the pattern was so tight that it left a 1/8 inch hole in the cardboard at the center.

Many many happy birthday to ur daughter may god bless her always

[@AirgunAlley]

Thank you so so much!! Blessing back at you 🙌🏼🙏🏽

[@saairgunner5925]

The Wing Shot smooth bore shotgun-version of the Dragon Claw has a removable choke on the barrel, keeping the shot closer together for linger distances. Also, the shotshells with #6 shot should work better.

[@robbierobinson8819]

Always wondered about shot shells in a rifled barrel, so great to see them given the test. Thanks.

[@eon2330]

The problem was they have nearly 130 projectiles. The spread isn't the issue, its the force. They seem to be low power.

[@evanthompson5506]

​@@eon2330they are made for bird hunting , rabbits etc soft skinned small game it's not supposed to have a lot of power for a shotshell, and the rifled barrel is messing up the performance bad

As do I,modded my CAP ARMS and it is a MONSTER and soooo sexy looking. Im sorry to say the DC might be more powerful modded than the wingshot 2 modded,but the wingshot 2 LOOKS the part of a shot gun. JMO

Good video. That baffle board with the ballistic bust was great a showing the power of the dragons claw. Anyway great video may God bless you and your family.

I look forward to your PCP videos as always you never fail to impress me thanks for sharing and congrats on your daughter's birthday I also have 3 kids with b'days in March cheers from Less Lethal SA 🇿🇦💪

[@BirdWhisperer46]

Is that Vevor compressor holding up for you a year later?

[@AirgunAlley]

It JUST broke! Literally yesterday! I was filling up a rifle and it started sounding like a dying diesel engine. Until it stopped. I have to say, it’s been a tractor. I’ve filled many guns and many bottles in extremely hot and humid conditions… so I actually recommend it. (Plus the price seemed to have dropped in half)

[@toddsafi5052]

As someone else just mentioned, but should be restated, it would be good to try the shells that are using No. 6 shot instead of No. 8. Each individual pellet will be carrying a touch more mass.

[@Dadolphinsmakemecry]

Or get the equivalent in bismuth shot like i did with my wingshot 2. It is denser but it is expensive.

[@Bl4ckD0g]

I've wanted a Dragon Claw since I first laid eyes on one. They're such pretty air rifles.

[@AirgunAlley]

They truly are!! And the power on it 😱

[@Dadolphinsmakemecry]

Not as pretty as the Wingshot 2

[@THELESSLETHALSPOT]

As always interesting and impressive video. I have learned a lot from your PCP videos and really like them as well. Great work. Beautiful Florida weather, great sights. Congrats hbd to your baby daughter. 🎂🎈🎉🎁

[@AirgunAlley]

Thanks you so much hermano from el norte!

[@MightyRude]

Compressors for pcp rifles start at $180 not $300, almost all portable compressor are made by the same oem from China, so getting the cheapest fitting compressor is always the best choice. A portable compressor does need quite some maintenance and there are things you can do to keep it running for as long as possible like: letting the fan run for 3 to 5 minutes before and after turning on the compressor and starting the compressor with the bleed valve open and closing it slowly after 10 seconds. It’s also a good idea to use the inline filter in a vertical position and not a horizontal position.

[@runerebel8441]

Very interesting video as always. Super cool rifle 😎. Cheers from your friend in Norway 😃👍

[@PaoloFraniTroutandOutdoor]

L'intro è SPETTACOLARE! Quel fucile farebbe la gioia incondizionata dei bracconieri qui, a giudicare dalla rosata non c'è cornacchia che scamperebbe al ruggito del dragon claw!! Con dei bbs più pesanti in cartuccia la rosata sarebbe più compatta e micidiale mi vien da pensare!

[@PaoloFraniTroutandOutdoor]

[@Dadolphinsmakemecry]

And arrows don't forget arrows it can fire arrows made by Air Venturi 100 bucks for 6, and of course, you will have to buy broadheads for it

[@evanthompson5506]

I ordered a couple hundred of those arrows cause I keep losing them on my ranch 😭 they work great on deer tho :) ​@@Dadolphinsmakemecry

[@3rdPerspectiveTV]

Yea that dragon claw is a beast for sure. I think they should use bigger bbs in the slugs...maybe 60 instead of 120. They'd be heavier so they should cause more damage. You should look into getting a fill tank for your dragon claw so you don't have to run the compressor every time you want to shoot it. Great video as always my friend

[@AirgunAlley]

Thank you so much man! I 100% agree on the shotshells needing bigger sized bbs! And yes indeed, I will absolutely be going to a dive shop to fill up my tank from now on. 45 mins for two or three refills is a lot! The gun however fills quite fast, with this one compressor. Thanks again my friend!

This is awesome ! Been wondering if someone made buckshot for air rifles. Thanks for the video bro!👍👍👍

[@jbhk7977]

You should try .50 sabots and .45 slugs. Little faster little sheaper and sabots can often be reused.

[@stuart2500]

Alright mate 👍 enjoy your daughters birthday 🎂. Don't mind watching PCP vids something different and that gun is one bit of kit .those shells at close range would hurt like hell would be picking them out of you for days .keep up the good work 👍

[@richards.8987]

Always have your pew pew higher than the compressor! Less moisture in the air chamber!

[@AirgunAlley]

Good point! I also change the cotton filters before every fill. That also helps a lot!

[@GregBigelow-s8e]

The compressor is awesome I have one I love it

[@terrylegend7669]

Those shotshells are good for small spaces and crowd control.

[@AirgunAlley]

😂 with an emphasis on crowd control!

[@Dadolphinsmakemecry]

Dove,squirrels,turkeys,have yet to shoot a duck with one here in Florida,but i also use bismuth shot in equivalence to #6 shot shells from air venturi. Its expensive to use but more pellets more spread.

[@Dadolphinsmakemecry]

Just my 2 cents worth here. I own a C.A.P. SHOT modified wingshot 2,it is a beast for sure. You can send your dragonclaw in to get modded,make a world of difference in power. Additionally,the shotshells if you have the money you can buy bismuth shot and fill empty shot shells. Bismuth is smaller and denser,but if you go this route you may need to mod your dragonclaw if it's stock. I'm currently enjoying 35 yard pass through on cardboard boxes with my wingshot using bismuth loaded shells,and a pretty spread,but if im turkey or bird hunting it is MORE than sufficient at closer range.

[@joemalski8374]

Love the pcp and yes its a investment miss the glades....well done bro💨💥💨💥

[@littlebear1520]

I think the shot shows are pretty cool and they're pretty useful in the right scenario. Actually Daisy BB guns had come out either in the 50s or in the 60s with an air gun shotgun that shot little shot shells similar to the ones you were using.... You should really look into that hatsan Hydra some of the other hatsan products there is also air gun made by Seneca that is a lever action PCP and hats and makes a lever action PCP

[@Dadolphinsmakemecry]

Hatasan Vectis is one such rifle i currently own one in.25 i modded with a huma regulator,donny fl hushcan,added sling posts hawke scope and green laser underneath. That's my squirrely rifle 😂

[@mikepi660]

Thanks,, Great vid,, as always,,, Good for small game, birds or self defense close range,,

[@kmom777]

BTW, how do you change the oil of this compressor older 12v models because the compressor oil can not be changed via drain screw you have to open them and wipe them and put new VDL 100 oil otherwise oil become sticky like a gum and it brake the metal of the piston and you have to keep order new pistons. This was the case with 12v tuxing compressors.

[@morgandellerue5216]

Can you please review the dragonslayer airgun 50 cal from India m8? I’ve heard they use them to kill tigers! I’m a animal lover so I’d just like to see how powerful they are? A test on wood and roofing tiles and breeze blocks would be good! I’ve seen that you have to cast your own pellets that you can make solid and over 300 grams which seems a lot! Anyway please investigate! Brilliant work 👍👊🔥!

[@AirgunAlley]

I’ll try to get my hands on one my friend 🕵🏻‍♂️ Thanks for the suggestion!

[@morgandellerue5216]

I really think you can make “ hollow points “ packed with gunpowder and seal them up and have explosive rounds! Anyway always safety first! I showed my friend my recipe for gunpowder and it’s more flammable than real gunpowder! Think I have a bit on a cotton earbud half a foot away and strike a lighter and it goes off from particles in the air! That stuff under pressure and packed is more than tnt! Easy! Anyway it’s late here and I’ll stay in touch with you my friend!🔥👊👍M!

[@morgandellerue5216]

@@AirgunAlley get a old fire extinguisher take out the refillable chamber out! It’s regulated at 9000 psi! You can easily use it for 3000-4000 psi shots and cut the spring down for more easy shots and then even drill the nozzle holes wider for larger dump of ? Air/ co2/ basically the old fire extinguisher used to have a pressure bar that was used to also put pressure back in! Like a bmx inner tube valve! For a styrup pump? They go to 3000 psi! Anyway it’s how you connect it to the barrel and reload? Maybe muzzle load! And paper wad! For pressure! But that’s over 780 psi if you can get it right and just a old fire extinguisher and a pump and paper and a ball bearing! Anyway I’d make it work for you if I was there! M❤️🔥👍!

[@morgandellerue5216]

@@AirgunAlley I believe that it’s a Indian brand gun m8! And you have to cast your own giant pellets! Pack them as hollow points with sulphur! At least red match heads! But be careful with red match heads! They can go off under pressure! I know a mixture of brown match heads one! And 2 and a half red! And make 2 grams up slowly gently grinding till you get purple powder! Then half gram cigarette ash for fusion of air and combustion! ! Here’s a good tip! Keep it all separate red match! Brown match and inert! Fag ash! It’s explosive if u mix it right!!! My friends hand is still burnt from 12 years ago !! M🔥👊

[@mickchaganis6607]

Greetings from the UK, just found your channel and working through your vids. We can only dream of guns like this over here, I'm just starting the long long process of applying for my Fire Arms Certificate, very strict laws over here. I love the Dragon Claw but these shot shells surprised me, I thought with the rifled barrel, the spread would be so much less, this is not really an alternative to a shotgun is it? Amazing rifle with the slugs, definitely need your own pump for this, nothing like the 300 plus shots I get per fill of my Kral Puncher 😂🤣 Regards Mick PS, just a thought, because of the huge size, I'm wondering if you could 3d print your own design slugs and other projectiles for a fun video?

[@AirgunAlley]

Hi Mick, first off thank you so much for finding and enjoying my channel. Wishing you all the best for your certificate application, I’m sure you’ll get it in no time. I am completely in love with the Dragon Claw. I think these shotshells would be a lot better (and closer to a shotgun) if the bbs were a bit bigger and heavier. While they did make a big spread, I feel like their power was a bit weak. And funny you “requested” that - I actually made two videos with this rifle: one where I shoot the Devastators (made for the T4E series) and one where I shoot 3D printed saboted 308 bullets by an Italian brand called CODODO. They’re among my most recent videos. Thanks again for watching!!

[@kevanhubbard9673]

A rifled barrel will make the shot spin causing it to significantly spread quicker than a smoothbore barrel therefore reducing the effective range but much depending on if that plastic cap holds the shot together in the barrel however in my experience with shot shells in rifles the pellets are already free in the barrel.Now the bigger the pellets the less disrupton.14c or 287 Kelvin warm for Mars!

[@eon2330]

The real problem was the pellets had no real power. They bounced off more than they penned. Weird thing is, each buckshot in a shotty is around normal pistol round. Not sure why people love "tight" groupings. You can only pen the same hole once and pellets bounce off each other if they are too close at impact vs bone/metals and such. Seems like you would want more spread than less. Unless you are sniping 100 yards.

I like this weapon very much, but as it's designed to be leathal and isn't semiautomatic, it's has the downsides of N actual firearm, with only questionable effectiveness. You can literally own and travel with ANY .12 Guage shotgun ANYWHERE in the U.S.A., provided it's locked while in transit in a separate box or compartment from the shells and a trigger lock is installed, unless you are parked at which point, even California considers your car, if you're sleeping in it for the night is treated as your home. It gets a bit sticky in New Jersey as self defense with any weapon isn't allowed, but as a truck driver who used to have a Secret Level Security Clearance and routinely transported secret, classified and explosive freight for the DOD, my codriver and myself were issued a shotgun and instructed on its use and legal transport. We had no legal opportunity, latitude of deference that any other civilian traveling with the same weapon in any state for any purpose in any vehicle. Our company stopped having armed drivers and took back our weapons and ammunition, not because of legal changes,but because our drivers has to check their weapons and ammo with base security at all military instillations, the problem being, often drivers forgot to retrieve their weapons and ammo upon exiting the facilities.
