It is a common misconception that extremely short shotgun barrels pattern very large. This is actually not the case. A shortened barrel can actually pattern quite well at respectable distances if done right. A rifled barrel will sling all manner of shot into a considerably wider pattern. Hopefully this video proves that.

"Centrifugal spread" Only Barry could come up with detail like that. Damm I miss Barry he was a good ole boy.

[@AngelSamael]

It kind of sounds like he combined the words Centrifugal and Centripetal.

[@PanfishingJournal]

He's exactly right. It spins the load just like a slug would spin.

[@johnnyringo2670]

PM Pruett exactly thats why the shot is thrown into a perfect circle around the point of aim

[@ZRex92]

Barry being a smaller guy like me, you can tell the shotgun definitely packs a punch on him, but I like how it doesn’t matter to him he just enjoys shooting, and you can tell his knowledge on firearms is vast. Sleep easy brother, you’ve earned the rest.

[@lpddawg]

Barry was a cool ole dude......Still watch This channel alot,but sure do miss Barry.

[@rockyreynolds4027]

AppyDawgs what happened to him

[@Blake4Truth]

Rocky Reynolds: Barry passed on a couple years ago or so.

[@ThatHmoobGuy]

Rocky Reynolds he was sacrificed for fame

[@TheZombieburner]

We all do, man. Barry was like that cool grandpa who teaches you cool stuff, but with even more guns. I still miss him.

[@frankbiz]

Blake R Sorry to hear that, this was the first time I saw him and liked him. What a bummer 🙁.

[@johnb.8622]

His accent, beard and of course character made him such an adorable person! It's so sad that Barry isn't around anymore

[@vincemcmahonreadskoran3120]

I’m just glad he lives on in these videos and reaches that many more people. I love listening to guys with southern drawls talking and shooting guns,

[@johnlupton3758]

What ever happened to Barry?

[@kelleyforlines]

@@johnlupton3758he passed I believe

[@nyreejamaljohnson]

Man I really miss you Barry. That guy, one thing I really can say personal about him. He really taught me about guns more watching these videos than I thought I knew. Now I own more guns than I thought I would. Because of people like Barry. Just letting not only my mind know and expand but the world. And I thank you for that Barry may you Rest In Peace SOLDIER!

[@765outdoors]

I've been wondering where he has been, what happened to him???

[@ericrasmussen2629]

gunz and music he has passed away since the making of this video. IV8888 has a video with more details about it I believe gun gripes episode 85

[@sartainja]

He was a good man. You liked listening to him. He was confident in what he told you. I have watched many of his videos and he always dead on right with what he stated. He is missed.

[@crbuck3394]

rich porter was Barry the older gentleman in the video?

[@crbuck3394]

rich porter as soon as i asked that the guy literally just said "Thats a big word Barry." Spooky

[@storrmdemonz]

"thats a big word barry" thanks i just fell of my chair laughing

[@Calebh40]

I have been telling my customers this for years. It still cracks me up that people with shotguns don't get some of the basic load and barrel combos that are commonly used. Well done guys.

[@MrBigden37]

"Water pump pliers", lol.

[@richardcarden4161]

I think he meant Channel Lock Pliers.

[@robertboreman7672]

[@SillyHerpFamily]

Great video guys. Thank you again for taking the time to put this together. One of the best channels out there.

[@rancor6858]

I love seeing how big this channel got. its quite amazing how things changed

[@132west2]

I truly was just searching for information on this topic and still got Barry in my feed in real time to help out long after he's gone, what a treat. R.I.P Barry 🤟

[@philharris2304]

Your programs are so informative and in lighting for even an ol Vietnam Vet like me. Keep up the great programs my buddies are catching on. Thanks, the old Master Sargent

[@CocoaLopez19]

New videos have been looking really great guys. Keep the videos coming, by far one of my favorite youtube channels!

[@Miroku1226]

I'm always fascinated with the experiments you guys come up with. Keep 'em coming!

[@ElevatedAgenda]

'Centrifical...' 'That's a big word Barry' You guys are awesome. I need to make it down to your shop.

[@TomBuhls]

Wow! Visual quality in this video is great! BTW- Thanks for taking the time to talk with me about the reloading stuff last month, when I stopped in from during my road trip from N.C.->Indiana. I really appreciated all the info/advice you were able to share!

[@ObiTrentKenobi]

"That's a BIG word, Barry"... didn't even bat an eye, you guys have quite the relationship! HAHA. Tanks for the final word on this rifled vs smooth bore bird shot subject!

[@ctblazer05]

i've decided to finally drop a comment to u guys. Been subscribing for a while now and have to let u no how much respect i have and enjoy u 2. Great americans, excellent wisdom, and true passion. Not many like u 2 out there anymore keep it up and thank you!!!!

[@theender422]

Extremely informative and well explained, thank you.

[@josephtucciarone6878]

Thank you for doing this comparison. Enlightening.

[@lucasjasondl]

RIP Barry. I look forward to meeting you in heaven some day. Love & respect, brother. Very informative video. I was thinking of getting a rifled barrel to lessen the spread on my #00 buck. Never would have thought it would have the opposite effect. Just saved me a lot of time and money. Thumbs up on this video.

[@chrispeterson1247]

Watching this in 2017, just to listen to Barry. RIP mate. a wealth of knowledge he had.

[@AppalachianCryptidDoge]

I appreciate the wealth of knowledge you created for us to reference Barry, I still wish you were with us every time I visit the channel.

[@William87M]

Love the videos guys. I wouldn't have purchased my SKS without your input. Love it.

[@benwinstanley101]

Awesome video! Again !Barry useful wise knowledge

[@Tex1680]

Something about classic berry and eric videos just make this corona-pocolypse bareable. R.I.P. Berry... I'm glad to have met you before you left us.

[@tee6519]

So refreshing to hear a person use the correct name for a tool ..its not a channel locks ..its a pump plyers👍🏻 rip🙏

[@ToiletFinger]

"That's a big word Barry." lol! I love your videos! Keep up the good work!

[@EddieFresh3]

Thanks for the video guys, I always learn something from your videos.

[@iamzid]

that's what i thought would happen, but i wasn't sure. glad you guyz made this video.

[@pagamenews]

Very informative. I always realized that the ranges inside a house were "tight" and that birdshot never had enough time to open-up. But I never thought of using a rifled barrel on a shotgun for better shot dispersion as close ranges. Great idea.

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

+pagamenews Fucking terrible idea.

[@PatriotNC1]

When I was in law enforcement, we trained for 100 yard shots, full choke, 12 gauge, # 1 buckshot. We also trained at standard 25 yard targets. At closer range, you're correct, the shot tends to rise, and you shoot higher. IF you aim for the upper abdomen, you should almost hit the center of the target with a load of buckshot. Good demonstration, fellas.

[@charger19691]

Another great video fellas! Thanks for more great information!

[@JourneytoAdventure]

I have always wondered this. Keep up the good work guys!

[@goose1077]

I didn't know you could shoot shot out of a rifled barrel. I thought they were just for slugs. What would be good is a shotgun basics video that explains all the stuff a beginner would like to learn about shotguns and the different kinds of ammo.

[@onenikkione]

great demo guys.....always informative

[@ittadam]

I like the new stuff you're doing guys! Great video work compared to your older "1 shot, 1 kill" style camera work. Keep it up!

[@Tripp426]

His smile at the end is just great.

[@UrbanArmed]

Great demonstration you guys, I love these videos.

[@neolexington]

Excellent vid, much appreciated!

[@LegendKiller2073]

Very informative video! You guys rock!!

[@tylrkim]

That run at the end was awesome, it made me smile.

[@GSR187]

Another great vid as usual.

[@alexanderredneckthe3rd2]

I miss Barry too. This video was also very informative and educational. The exact opposite thing happened then what I thought

[@TheSkinnyTwig]

ahhh after watching this and thinking I understand the physics of why the shot would spread so much with a rifled barrel. Great video!

[@iknowmy3tables]

wow this is great stuff guys, this is the first video I've seen of this being demonstrated with both birdshot and buckshot

[@jffrocks]

Always interesting info, and most often it's something I did not know. Thank You!

[@tyler55g]

your vid quality is getting alot better

[@slaughterhound8793]

RIP Barry, and thanks for the advice about not using pliers on a Mossberg.

[@sarssars-hm2ox]

Oh boy thanks for keeping this up. Some comes I'm redoing my house interior

[@JamesCZFEA]

the smile he gives at the end is priceless.

[@GunRagDave]

Great information guys, thanks.

[@fire1113]

Great video, thanks guys.

[@williamwilliams7781]

More and more respect for you guys and you channel.You guys are the only result that addressed shot out of a rifled barrel in a search.. Thanks for showing that it is possible and not unsafe to do so. I don't have many options for home defense weapons, basically it's my Rem 870 or my Beretta 9mm. I been wondering what a turkey load duplex 4x 2 shot would do out of a rifled barrel because I wanted a good wide pattern at short range with a shot size that would stop the intruder in his tracks for good without be a serious threat to any one a few walls away. Now I am going to test my ideas out on the range with a set up similar to yours. Great vid!

[@TheBic4]

beatuiful video quality and amazing sound quality!

[@retakrew]

Now this is a really informative and awesome video.

[@paulmartinez992]

God bless , Barry is the Man.

[@VoodooCrab]

Now I know which barrel to buy. Cool!! Thanks.

[@bUtMyRiGhTs]

Nice video. This should help people a lot with their future or current ammo/barrel choices...

[@Wolfwood428]

Thank you sooooo much. i am tiring of all these people saying Birdshot doesn't do any damage...

[@AgBlizzard]

I love these guys. They rock.

[@JaronPope]

Awesome class Barry! Thank you!

[@thomascorbett6627]

as always great video good to c ol Barrie in there he was the coolest R.I.P sir c ya on the other side. Barrie

[@SuperBobbster]

Barry - very good shooting, like it, quick, eyes open, aware, feeling the aim point. Excellent. From a Brit armed cop, 2 thumbs up. Chad - ditto.

[@thespaniard47]

haha "that a big word barry" best line in the video.

[@clubtc05]

Thank you for making this video!!! I REALLY learned alot! Thanks again :)

[@Dave-gx7ut]

Excellent video!

[@abubacar]

Holy crap! someone got a new camera! Looks good man!

[@kneedeepinzombieshit]

The guy at the end handles that pump like a boss.

[@BrandorT]

very interesting. thanks. one of your better videos, in my opinion.

[@stevetuneupplus1670]

I have a Mossberg Maverick cut down to 19 inches. ATI grip and adjustable stock. Looks tough, menacing, and pulled choke out for 5 shell cap. I have less than 250 dollars in a shotgun to protect the house. I load 2 rounds of number 6- then 3 more of 00 buck. I figure if he keeps coming, I will give it to him. The side saddle also carries 5 rounds, but they are rifled slugs. You can put together an effective defense gun on the cheap. This gun performs flawlessly, and runs smooth. Pattern with the birdshot is about 2.5 feet at 15 yards. Not bad for what I wanted it to do.

[@Voyagerss77]

Great video quality by the way

[@SRCMinistry]

Excellent!! VERY infrormative

[@OldPackMule]

Excellent!!! Thanks for showing us that. I always wondered how the rifling would affect the shot.

[@MrLeonidas0001]

I've always shot smooth bore shotties so this is a neat video for me!

[@jeremyjames1659]

Hey G only gangstas shoot "shotties"

[@h2bmwf50]

Keep up the good work!!!

[@macjoel2009]

The camera on the head contraption was awesome!

[@battletoads22]

Loved the last bit with Chad. And I learned something about shotguns.

[@TheGreenMarksman]

nice vid. i love that first person view at the end. way better then the cam mount on the gun

[@jklinger031276]

(4:23) "That's a big word Barry", Says Eric. Great video Guys!

[@joshuajohnson8478]

thanks for posting! I was curious about shooting shot through a rifled barrel

[@wawheeler21]

M4 is a really good gun and choice. I have never hunted with slugs, thats what the .270 and .300wsm are for, I have just shoot them at the range for fun sometimes. I use to work for a large trap club and have shot a lot of trap and sporting clays, its a lot of fun, but is addictive!

[@joemamma4324]

RIP BARRY..WHAT A SURPRISE WHEN I CLICKED ON THIS OLD VID...

[@lerch400block]

I miss Barry.😭

[@hawk6111]

Sorry Barry but I would NEVER use bird shot for home defense. NEVER. buckshot is a immediate stop if you get a center mass shot. Bird shot is not

[@lerch400block]

not necessarily

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

+hawk6111 Barry was not too smart.

[@ShinobuSakurazaka]

Really? I use beanbag rounds for home defence because if the choice is between sending a home invader to A&E or the morgue, I'll send them to A&E. my reasoning is from my childhood when my dad incapacitated a home invader with a "Baton" round and the home invader turned out to be a dumb kid trying his luck. The kid was stupid and reckless but the poor bastard didn't deserve to die and my dad spared him that fate so I would do the same, luckily I've never had a break-in since moving out of my parent's place. BTW that kid ended up becoming a productive member of society, just some food for thought.

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

***** So a home intruder is going to be shooting real bullets at you, and you are going to shoot bean bags back at them??? LOL YOU ARE DUMB AS FUCK!!!

[@ShinobuSakurazaka]

Vast majority of home intruders are unarmed and opportunists, not hardened criminals who are armed to the teeth. Also, after one bean bag round hits center mass they aren't going be shooting anything so I ain't worry you trigger happy idiot!

[@toastedjoke09]

that was very informative guys, as always a great video and great lesson learned with big words lol

[@chronomitch]

Very informative. Thanks!

[@specialks1953]

Informative! - - Another one of them big words but Thanks for the demonstration using the same gun with the different barrels.

[@Rockdaground]

Great information

[@USMC4056]

Birdshot IS lethal. Remember. People are soft and squishy, not all of your arteries are covered with bone and there are enough pellets to make you bleed out even if you don't hit an artery. The shock alone could kill you. Besides. Everybody remembers Dick Cheny's friend and how he almost died. He was at 15-25 YARDS, this is within 15 FEET.

[@17473039]

Awesome demonstration at the end goes to show just why so many people rely on a shotgun for home defence.

[@nedt]

great vid!

[@CypherVirus]

Love the smile at the end of the soda massacre lol

[@YamahaWR200]

That's a big word Barry. ha ha Made me laugh out loud. ha
