I’ll tell you this from my experience we took a double barrel shotgun and cut it down to about 10 inches and me as a brainiac I put 2 3inch mags in it and when I pulled both triggers let’s just say that was a bad idea Because I ended up with three or four screws in my wrist, and I had to have a long rod on the outside of my arm that had to be tightened down At least 3×4 times a month that sucked so hopefully nobody gets any dumb ideas on here to try this. That’s not a good idea. Single shots fine double barrel bad idea.

[@ZLProductionsOfficial]

Hey Scott, can you do a review on the 1216 shotgun, please? OwO

[@deathangelo82]

Sawed offs became popular because they were easier to conceal. If you were going to be in an area where you needed a lot of firepower, you would be in close enough range for the sawed off barrel to be effective.

[@surfingtothestars]

Bonnie and Clyde made them popular

[@baronvonluchz5874]

Also a certain kind was there for wolfhunting in italy

[@Emulation_Inflation]

Yeah thats what I thought. Just more concealable.

[@classifiedinformation960]

People in Canada are using pipe shotguns literally a tube with 1 shotgun shell in it and u smack it down pointing at someone then run off, literally just a tube easy to conceal

[@RachDarastric2]

I thought sawed off shotguns were for wearing 3 on a brace on your right hip, 2 on the back of your shoulders, 2 across your chest, 2 on a left and right thigh holster before switching to the machete on your left hip.

[@jamiemcerlain5897]

I think the myth behind the sawed off having more power is that you always see them being used at literal point blank range in films and games so they’re obviously going to look more devastating

[@DeadlyElement07]

Also the ones seen in the video are double barrel, and I’m not a gun expert but I think a lot of double barrels can fire both rounds either at the same time or in quick succession, essentially doubling the power.

[@jamiemcerlain5897]

Good point, and yes you can fire both barrels at once if the shotgun has two separate triggers, although done one handed movie style I see this being something your wrist may never recover from 😂

[@sleazypolar]

I don;t think there ever was a myth that they were more powerful. The famous thing about sawed off shotguns is they are concealable.

[@friendlyreaper9012]

​@@sleazypolarit definitely is the case in video games for example. Every time there is a sawed off it does much more damage than regular shotguns.

[@corkbulb2895]

I think the point of the sawed-off shotgun in movies is to be more powerful than a handgun while still being compact. Which it sure would be. Also, shortening the weapon makes it easier to conceal and carry. Think Kyle Reece in the Terminator. Also, in close quarters combat, a shorter weapon would be easier to handle, move around and aim. Still, people wouldn't fly back like they do in the movies. Mythbusters did an entire episode on this.

[@waltersobchak1719]

You hit the nail on the head - the only reason people saw off the barrel of a shotgun is to make it easy to conceal. That’s it.

[@Bushlore1]

I never understood how anyone would think a bullet can make a person fly back. The mass of a pencil tip hitting the mass of a human. If it is moving fast enough to produce the energy it is going to go straight through. Now a 2000 grain round hitting a plate carrier at 2000+ fps might take you for a ride lol.

[@JohnShalamskas]

Mythbusters demonstrated 50 BMG versus a pig carcass. The pig barely moved.

[@markmathisen3908]

Exactly. If the round hitting someone had enough force to propel someone through the air, physics would dictate the same force equal to the person firing the gun. If the bullet makes the target fly, the shooter would fly with equal force upon discharge.

[@DarkJak2050]

Mythbusters also showed clips from older movies, particularly Black & White movies you'll see guys who got shot dead just literally drop dead where they stood. They weren't sent flying backwards by 10 feet. They even brought up Newton's 3rd Law of Physics. _For every action (force) in nature, there's an equal and opposite reaction._ In other words; when the person getting shot gets sent flying from the force of a gunshot, so will the shooter.

[@purpleYamask]

I think another important note to the origin of this is is how video games handle balance. A sawn-off is gonna be less accurate and have the player push closer, but will deal extreme damage as a trade-off. Higher risk higher reward.

[@vincedibona4687]

Why would it do more damage?

[@daniamataka5377]

In reality it wouldn't, but game logic dictates it works that way

[@Shadow_bru]

@@vincedibona4687 each pellet has less travel through the barrel which can cause bigger impact and damage. Also the some gunpowder used to eject the pellets can fly out the end, causing some type of dragons breath or just sparks.

[@Spankybuttweed500]

That is on the verge of being so close to kinda right. A shorter barrel would lead to having to close the gap and minimize lost speed but the actual damage difference would be nearly negligible​@@Shadow_bru

[@atomik1258]

Hey Scott, great content as always! From what I've been reading lately it seems as though much like a rifle, with shotguns barrel length has almost nothing to do with spread and is almost entirely controlled by the choke, barrel length only adds velocity and balance for swing through when hunting or shooting clays. In theory the sawed off should have more 'knock back power' due to the larger impact area as you mentioned, as long as its energy was high enough from the lower velocity, it would have been cool to see if that effect was intensified with something like #8 birdshot to evenly spread the impact energy even more. Could be a fun video idea to rig something to test knock back power over penetration and maybe even include some different chokes for 12g? This could also be a fun comparison for the elephant guns. Keep up the amazing videos!

[@Grooove_e]

Longer barrel will always give you a tighter group and better velocity meaning more "power", to a certain extent. Edit : Of course I know SBS are 100x cooler I was simply sharing my thoughts

[@ballisticarc]

A Ket-tec KSG is /absolutely the wrong shotgun for sporting clays/. 18.1" barrel, no built in choke capacity. But that's what I had. Put an EOtech on it because, holographically, that reticle was 25 yards out in space on the end of a virtual barrel. And I had to shoot fast, because the shot spread /fast/. But all the mass was between my support hand and my shoulder, so it swung fast. I thought I would need a lot of practice, but after the second round, I was pulling 24/25 out of the air consistently. The rules don't mention optics, because what idiot puts an optic on a sporting clays shotgun, but I tell you what: EOtechs are straight up cheating.

[@leeledbetter7095]

[@kylen9954]

If you go off video game terms of damage theoretically if you're shot is more spread across the torso and cause more damage

[@tpuukko4424]

At 11:01 it is possible to see that the 9th pellet missed just beside the zombie's left arm, playing at 0,25x speed helps to see it. This is normal with buckshot that has 9 pellets in it. Reason is that the first two pellets in the shell are a pair and the 3rd & 4th pellet form a similar pair but at a 90 degree different rotation and this symmetrical pattern continues until the 8th pellet... put a ninth one and it breaks the pattern. That makes the 9th pellet to shoot off from the main group.

Ever since I was young, I was told the sawed off is only to get a bigger spread at close range. That's why the coachman riding "shotgun" usually had a sawed off for when any bandits tried to actually board the coach, while in motion, it gave them more chance of hitting them and then they carried Colt revolvers for backup.

One needs to adapt to the enviroment. :D Full sized weapons are more powerful then their shortened versions , but they also are more cumbersome (On a ship I would assume its more about the fact that a shorter weapon is much better to handle in enclosed spaces (as it would be kinda annoying to have the barrel get stuck on a wall or pipe or something) then the weight :D

Growing up in the 70s, my friend's dad was a Civil War Reenactor and Collector, he had an original Walker 44, and was a wealth of knowledge. One day he heard us talking about a movie where the stunt man went flying backwards and explained how they did it, and said in real life it would never happen, because anything that powerful would send you flying backwards too, so since I was about 10 (50 years ago) I have laughed every time I saw that happen.

[@tailhooked7208]

My father said the same thing... the good old "every action has an equal and opposite re-action". If they're going flying, you're going flying from that recoil!

[@deanlindholm8663]

My dad said if something was powerful enough to blow you back that far then it still wouldn't, it would just obliterate anything it hits.

[@robintst]

That's just because our 80s action heroes were far too manly to be thrown by something as silly as recoil... or physics in general really.

[@gordowg1wg145]

Exactly - it's the same principle with "rail guns" that so many SF writers seem to be hung up on - the energy released when the projectile hits has to be applied to the projectile when it's fired and, not only doesn that mean a huge power source, but the conservation of momentum/Newton's Third Law of Motion means the recoil also has to balance the energy release. Same thing with the BS about military orbitally launched impactors - while they can provide a lot of energy in a small area, they need to be given at least as much energy during the launch and, in practice, the true balance will be closer to 100 times (depending on lifter efficiencies) as much energy used to lift them into orbit as will be released in a ground strike. Now, if one were to redirect something like an asteroid it will have a much longer fall into Earth's gravity well, and so apply a LOT more damage for a relatively small energy transfer to steer the body in the required direction.

I'd like to see the difference, if any, between the damage done with contact shots. Longer barrels would give the gas more space to burn out and slow down expanding, shorter barrels would still have a lot of burn and expansion to go. A short barrel contact shot might blow apart a target more with the blast of gases despite a lower projectile velocity.

With regards to the original DOOM 2: When using the Shotgun, the pellets don't spread vertically, just horizontally, and each shell only fires 7 pellets, so you can snipe a bit with that.

I think the main appeal of the sawn-off shotgun is that it _will_ hit a few pellets at a distance, which is more than enough if you're hunting a duck, but it's also so much easier to handle and maneuver at closer distances than a regular shotty, not to mention it's way easier to carry and conceal. It gets the job done and it's very compact.

I think that the reason people have sawen off shotguns is for the power in a smaller package but a long barreled shotgun, just like any other kind of gun,will always be more powerful due to the greater velocity that the extra barrel length gives.

Going with a shoulder stock is gonna help you hit so much, the pistol grip sawed off is a last resort only if you can't fit anything else IMO... and be careful with the spread of those pellets 😁

[@gordowg1wg145]

@@mattigator600 With a short barrel, there's less recoil, and a full stock can critically compromise it's manueverability use in close quarters while offering little benefit because it further restricts it's use. Another advantage of the shorter barrel is there is less chance of a shot penetrating the walls/doors, to injure people in the next room.

[@tt600pch]

I never thought about shotgun barrel length until I shot my Judge 410 revolver with a 2 inch barrel into a dirt bank. The pattern was about 15 feet wide at 20 feet away. It surprised me he had as many pellets as he did. Funny thing about the cold. 2 weeks ago it was 25 below zero at my house for several days. Then it warmed up to 20 above and I went and worked outside feeling "warm" enough to work without gloves.

[@Skorveey]

Man, this Super Goose shotgun is something you don''t see everyday, I love this gun! Also I'd love to see same test with slugs 😇

[@thetigerobsidian]

Yup, full agreement!

[@andersjjensen]

The only question I have is: Can you get it with a bayonet lug? With a foot long blade on that thing you can stab the guy hiding in the next house if you run out of ammo!

[@achaean7615]

​@@andersjjensenevery gun should be capable of mounting a bayonet, Idgaf if it's a damn revolver, all guns must be bayonet compatible.. this should be enforced by the atf

[@andersjjensen]

@@achaean7615 I love the idea of a 6" barrelled 357 revolver with a 12" double edged bayonet on it. Both in mirror shine chrome with a tasteful amount of gold inlay engraving. That's a weapon you should, by law, only be allowed to discharge (or charge with) wearing a top hat and a monocle.

Back in my younger days i used to go hunting with a 12 ga goose gun. What a pain it was going through thr woods

[@lyrstille]

Is it weird, I like watching these videos more for scott's jokes and enthusiasm then the actual gun stuff (which is nice too) ..you can't find this kind of humor in regular comedians anymore. "A little more open minded" nearly had me on the floor, genius. Thanks again.

[@Vernich762]

0:32 OH LAWD IT’S RAINING PAIN!

[@rebelscumspeedshop8677]

This is something that I've actually tested myself. Older ammo ( ye Ole paper rounds) do in fact spread out more than the newest ammo. But firing from my shortest barrel and longest barrel at 30 ft there was 0 measurable difference.

[@Kiamors]

The wad/shot cup technology has improved over the ages. Modern turkey rounds are about equivalent to wax slugs these days.

[@nanyubusnis9397]

11:01 That big piece, of what I think is the coat, really just adds insult to literal injury. xD It's like: "Hey, wait up! I can do damage too! 'he-uh!' " At least that exploding skull looks just like in the movies.

[@mattsamoto4451]

It might sound funny, but as kids out in a field. My friend decided to fire a arrow staright up. And i had that same conversation with him, as we ran for cover.

[@exidy-yt]

I think the big advantage in a sawed-off is in having the power of a shotgun in the concealability and portability of a much smaller gun, rather then in it being 'better'.

[@coyster530]

I think you should have loaded both barrels and pulled the trigger on the double barrels so you get both barrels at once because a lot of people in home defense situations and other scenarios don't really think about it and tend to do that

[@Ragnar_Helsson]

THANK YOU. Why he didn't do a two barrel shot is beyond me. Maybe his poor widdle fingies were too cold. Lol

[@anthonyboatman9328]

I was thinking this as well. Also, I think that with a person standing, there would be enough force to knock them back and or to the ground, but not very far away or through a wall. Unless the person happened to fall backwards through drywall or something

[@dannygraves4997]

@@anthonyboatman9328 "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Or simply put, for a gun to be able to throw a person, the person doing the shooting would then receive an equal amount of force DIRECTLY TO THEIR SHOULDER. We're talking broken bones levels of force here. Now, pushing someone off-balance, sure, that can happen, considering it also happens to Scott with some rifles/shotguns. But a good enough shove to displace the target? Not happening unless the target's a 3 foot tall dwarf, and it's the sort of kick that makes Scott take a few steps back to stay balanced.

I love my Super Goose 10, it’s not practical for anything except turkey hunting from a very big blind. It once was the king of the cornfield in the (pre-steel) lead waterfowl world but it’s hard to justify lugging it to a hunt when I have a 3.5” 12 ga semi auto. It makes me happy when you feature it in your videos. I thought I was the only Super Goose 10 enthusiasts. Great videos, keep em coming :)

I don’t know what kind of farm turkeys you hunt, but the turkeys around here have eyesight better than a hawk.

[@howardoller443]

Scott, when the weather is cold you could wear at least one glove, on your non-dominant hand. I was a police officer for many years in a cold climate and I didn't wear a glove on my shooting hand, but I did on my other hand. One warm hand is better than no warm hands. Just a thought. Oh yeah, and long underwear really helps keep your core warm too. p.s. great video, as always.

[@Randomactivities2.0]

Once upon a time, my old man had one a dbl barrel 12ga that was a total of 18in long(allegedly).Needless to say, when we found it, we used it as a test of our manhood(ages 13-16) by seeing who could shoot both barrels one-handed. The pistol grip broke after 100+ attempts and almost ripped a guy's tumb off. That gun along with many others got stolen when we went to Illinois for Christmas.

[@GM_Neo]

Pistol grip? What kind of double barreled shotgun has a pistol grip? A KSG? If its what I'm thinking it is, first, no wonder it broke, second, y'all got some MANHOOD

Just make a sawed off 4 gauge then there is even more power XD But a 4 bore cartrige as a shootgun shell in a sawed off would be insane

[@halfcirclehranch6877]

I was waiting all through the video to see the zombie head get Super Goosed. Scott never disappoints! In cowboy action shooting, a lot of people use really short cylinder bore shotguns. I use a full length shotgun with full chokes. Those short shotguns can have some issues with knocking down targets at times. My long barrel with full chokes hits them like a freight train.

[@thetigerobsidian]

Great video as always. I wanted to share a video idea with you. My uncle had mice in his house. He had a bright idea that he could load his 12 gauge shotgun shells with just the wade and shoot the mice without damaging his house. He sat in his living room one night watching TV. The mice would run along the floor board. He shot at one and blew a hole through the floor board. More fun than a mouse trap!
