I came across a video called (as I remember)"5 guns for your college student" and never turned back. In that one year I bought a glock 19, a 91/30, a Maverick 88, and my first AR. And I've been on the journey ever since. You guys helped fill the gaps of knowledge that I couldn't get from my own family and ill always be thankful for that. Thank you guys for putting in the work, and keep it up!

I wish I had anything (common sense to boot) in my mid-20's I would have two or three of every popular caliber up to 50 BMG and could have bought a ranch. From 1994-2004 (Omnibus Crime Bill) made it 'illegal' to manufacture or import rifle mags >10 rounds. 30 round mags were selling for $50 & much higher.

[@danh8302]

I don’t think that’s the same video. Auto5’s probably never crossed their minds when considering the line up. If we were all tasked to make this video, prior to any indication of what they chose. I suspect that the bench would look radically different from one to the next. With no clarification of what the shotgun will be used for, simply “best auto shotguns”. My bench would have more wood furniture on the shotguns for example.

[@danliberty734]

One Ton Scout II Though the Auto5 still deserves a mention because of its history that lead to the modern semi-auto shotgun. The show should have been called, “The Best Modern Semi Auto Shotgun.”

[@danh8302]

Dan Liberty look i don’t disagree with you on the pedigree of the auto 5. I just don’t get the impression that they were thinking along those lines when they chose what they chose. I don’t think it is even a modern shotgun criterion. I feel like this title should be “our favorite picks for a starting 3-gun shotgun” I think it is just a wide range of interpretations when so simple as “best auto shotguns”. There are shotguns in their lineup that are very clearly not even the best in their own class so what they mean by “best” is not clear.

[@SkareKrow23]

I was a marine in an infantry unit (0351) who's specialty was urban mobility breaching...aka blowing up doors/walls, and I can say from experience that the corps was/is way too broke to afford 1014's. (Some recon units might have a few) But my unit got a pair of remington 870's from a unit coming back from deployment and those suckers were so old and worn out that our CO told us not to use them.

The absolute worst customer service in the industry. Nobody is even close to how horrid they are. They just don’t care and they aren’t afraid to tell you they don’t care. FYI, S&W and Ruger have the best customer service out of all the manufacturers in my opinion.

God, its head and shoulders above that pice of shit Mossberg. I had a 930, it was unreliable when wet, or with light loads, or if it wasn't cleaned often.

Had a huge guffaw when Eric mentioned a long barrelled 24" or 26" shotgun! We had a member turn up to a driven fox shoot with a 42" marlin bolt-action 3&1/2" chamber. The chap had to use a stand to support his shotgun. I am commenting from the Republic of Ireland.

[@kevinfox500]

Pump or bolt? Marlin made the model 200 pump with long barrels, from 30 to 38 inches, and those barrels sell for more than the shotgun does now. Bolt, odds are it was the Marlin Model 55, Super Goose, in 10 bore. Excellent duck blind gun, but impractical for field use. I have 3 M 55s, one a 20 in Swamp Gun, a 36 in M 55, both 12s, and just added a.Super Goose, last year. Also have my grandfathers 200, with the 19 inch slug barrel, and the 36 in bird barrel.

The only one of the six I've ever fired is the Mossberg 930. It was very finicky about ammo, lighter loads would not cycle. I sold it and bought a Beretta 1301 Tactical. My Beretta 1301 is very reliable with everything I have tried. Slugs, buckshot, hunting birdshot loads, light target loads - it doesn't matter, runs them all. If I could find a Beretta 1301 Competition I'd buy it. Some of those other shotguns might be better than my Beretta 1301, I don't know because I have never fired them, but I am definitely satisfied with my 1301.

[@Spamsmoothie1701]

I've never had a malfunction from my SPAS-12. I've had mine for 10+ years. The problem is the vast majority of them have not been maintained for various reasons. When I got mine I replaced the O-ring for the gas system, the receiver and stock shock absorbers, and later on, the fire control group. This was done to address the safety recall issue. My gun still had the very dangerous quick employment safety. The problem is that by now, that O-ring has disintegrated and so has the receiver and stock shock absorbers. They literally fall apart after 30 years or more of sitting. Most people don't know anything about the guns or what needs to be replaced on them. The guns will not cycle low power ammunition when on semi-auto, but switching from pump to semi-auto is way easier than it is on the M2. You also don't need to unfold the stock for the gun to operate reliably. I've never had that issue either. The one thing I will say that's against the SPAS-12 is the fact that it's overly complex and operating it can be difficult. If you hit the magazine interrupt, or you aren't well versed at loading it, the gun is a pain to operate. I wouldn't recommend them for home defense, but they aren't as unreliable or as difficult to operate as the video makes them sound.

Also it has, by far, the *lightest recoil* of any of the shotguns on your table. The wide range of variants of this shotgun available at every price point, from tactical w 18.5" barrel all the way up to waterfowlers with 30" barrels, makes the *Versa Max* the most versatile (and best value) shotgun you review.

I'll always say, nothing will beat a semi auto .12 gauge for home defense. There is not a human alive who will continue to run at you, trying to cause you and your family harm, after being hit with 7+ shells of high powered buckshot in under three seconds. Just won't happen. You can even fire slugs at the same rate, which I can't even fathom what 7 slugs would do to a an attacker. All in all, for everyone who lives in California like I do bitching about magazine sizes...this is the loophole. You could have a coked out 300 lb NFL line backer bull rush you and put his ass down without breaking a sweat with one of these. Three other semi autos worth mentioning for the "big spender".

Ray Rojo that’s what I was hoping to see.

[@KaiserSoze-vx6vo]

I had the misfortune of shooting a SPAS-12 shotgun at MACHINE GUNS VEGAS. I got it to shot two rounds and it jammed . . :( So they let rent an AK instead that was lots of fun. I would not own a SPAS-12 or SPAS-15 though.

[@bones1x285]

Vepr 12 is ultimate imo

[@gifthorse3675]

Yeah but they aren’t really supported and can be really expensive

[@bones1x285]

@@gifthorse3675 They got plenty of accessories but are harder to find. Mags are definetly expensive. Why have a tube fed semi auto when you can have a reliable mag fed semi auto?

[@danh8302]

BONES 1x2 it’s depends what you are doing... they’re are at opposite ends of the spectrum. I have extended tube mags that hold comparable rounds. Those and all my sporting shotguns also have 32” barrels with extended choke tubes. That’s a really long shotgun that works well for reaching out and getting several clay birds flying through the air. Conversely it would be TERRIBLE in CQB because of its length. The opposite occurs with an AK pattern shotgun. They are not good at upland use or sporting clay. Alternatively would be good at a close quarters situation. It depends what you are doing.

[@MrRandomTwat]

@MVia It's a dope shotgun no doubt but you haven't fired a Vepr12 :D

[@kirsch1616]

I’m a mossberg guy, live 5 minutes from the factory. However the FN has had my eye for some time now.

[@John-zs2eo]

I got a 500 Cruiser. I broke it down and put an adjustable stock on it, and use it long rifle style. Really like it.

Nice. I actually live about 20 minutes from the Browing Factory. :)

Have the Benelli M4 and the 1301 Tactical I reach for the 1301 more. Love it

[@jasonarringotn2501]

Awesome video, I picked up a Typhoon Defense AR style shotgun.

[@ryanmurphy4287]

Same here, and I expected it on this list.

[@roguegunfighter9194]

Is there any company that offers an M3 with a mag fed conversion? That would be a dream come true

[@nvogt99]

Love my VersaMax. Runs everything. Mild recoil with the heavy hitting loads

[@ephemeraldrift9599]

Bought a M3 after your first video on it and I've been absolutely loving it!

[@tompalmer5986]

I really liked the detachable magazine on the AK based gun. That could be a real advantage if you got into an armed shootout with a couple of armed criminals inside your house. I've also wondered how an Uzi would fare in home defense. It has some advantages.

[@CrackerJack-uv1nx]

Maybe if you get the fully auto one, but most of them are semi so it’d be as good as any ar or carbine you could get

[@BrassCatcher]

My 930 jm pro ran cheap bulk pack right out of the box. A ton of firepower in a lower cost option.

[@redrock425]

I've got a tuned up one for competition, seems very reliable and nice to shoot. Originally after a Stoeger but there were none available.

[@erikv3521]

@iraqveteran8888 can you do the ROCK ISLAND AMORY VR80 shotgun

[@fijillian]

Got one of the first VEPR 12 shotguns imported into the country and have been happy with it ever since.

[@richmonk508]

Is it a short barrel Class 3 firearm, and how long if so did it take to go through the ATF process?

[@allenflud]

Have you guys tested the Black Aces M Series magazine semiautomatic? I want one and was a little sad not to find it on your list.

[@whodey59]

I love my RIA VR-80. AR style platform. Reliable once you break it in.

[@frt3128]

Great info. Thanks. I am a veteran of the First Gulf war and we had M16's from the vuetnam war in our unit.

[@tomgoodwin9161]

A long time ago after I came back from Southeast Asia in 1968 I went shooting with a friend who was nuts about skeet. Kept written records on his precious skeet gun, a Remington 1100. At that time it was up to 128,000 rounds. Never failed. No broken parts; only needed a rubber O-ring from time to time. He lived and shot another 30 years. The gun lasted until it was passed on to relatives. Around 1980 I was working at the oldest gun shop in town, a Remington repair station. A wealthy customer brought in an 1100 he had dropped out of a boat while hunting Jaguar in Central America and said it took the boys three days to find it. He unloaded it and took the barrel off and swished it around in the river to wash most of the mud out, then put the barrel on and with new shells continued hunting. My semi auto is an 1100. No fancy crap on it just good ammo in it.

[@localfishinghole]

The FN SLP comes with an additional gas system that allows you to adjust the action to the shells you are using... that being said, I played around with it and was unable to get it to fail in any way with the standard gas system. I ran it through light bird shot all the way to buckshot and it ate it up with ease.

[@10ft5x3]

No failures of any kind shooting heavy combat loads. Never shot light loads.

[@jankristianeriksen1027]

Always hear about using bird and buck shot shells but what about slug shells? What shotgun is best for using slug shells?

[@Feats69]

While I understand the Benelli Marine is associated with the USMC, the broader definition of a marine shotgun means that it is either stainless or coated with something that is rust resistant. Mossberg had the Mariner and other companies used the term marine grade, something that could be kept on your boat.

[@IAmTheKurgann]

Chad looks like he's channeling his inner Branch Davidian this episode.

[@egosumumbraemortis5609]

Hands down, a semi-automatic .12 gauge is the most lethal home defense weapon a civilian can legally buy. With enough practice you can send close to 8 shells of buckshot down range in under 3 seconds....no intruder living on earth today will be able to survive that onslaught.

[@macman1138]

I can't believe the IWI TS12 wasn't mentioned. Thank you for your great videos.

Yea , plus its got Military grade build quality. Easy to load , easy to unload with 3 tubes built into the shot gun ! Got mine in OD Green with the curved butt end / muzzle brake / knurled charging handle / vickers sling & a Burris Fast Fire 3 Red Dot.

I LOVE my Vepr-12! It cycles everything BUT 1150 FPS low recoil rounds. Gotta use at least 1300 FPS rounds to cycle it correctly without a FTF. 3 in shells are BRUTAL on the shoulder, but rapid firing one at the range is a blast (pun intended).

19:46 the faster the bolt cycles, the sharper the recoil impulse. I never understood why people insist on a cyclic rate faster than their splits.
