It is just as slick, and you can have a matte black or nickel plated one for about the same price as a mossberg or remington (like 200 bucks). A few of the parts have been redesigned for manufacturing costs, and the stock is ugly plastic, but for the price, (just like the old j.c.higgins) it is a very robust and utilitarian gun, and ridiculously smooth-cycling.

Isn't it refreshing? No Vickers-ish blowhard fake drama,. No macho wannabe fluff like most gun channels. No cringey humor like demo ranch or sometimes Yankee. No cheap, misinformed, hateful, anti-inclusive (and thus anti-gun backlash-cultivating) political venom-spewing like Reid Henrichs, etc etc. MAC's politics are generally reasonable, and I really respect him for publicly arguing against his own tribe over the Starbuck's non-issue when he saw gun guys being childish, hyperemotional fools. I respect Yankee for the same reason, but I can only take so much of Yankee's hokey humor. That said I'd generally just rather not watch youtube vids about gun politics or humor - generally. This channel and forgottenweapons are by far my favorites for this very reason - they present interesting facts in a straightforward way without diluting or polluting them with silly-intense music and cheesy tacticool slang, demeanors, etc like Vickers. Also, the venomous, stupid trash about "beta libtards" from Reid Henrichs belongs buried deep in the comments sections of videos about "International jewish Bolshevism" or like nonsense. Henrichs does this to whine like a child instead of arguing like a man. If your approach is to "infuriate beta-male leftists," like Reid, instead of arguing calmly like an adult, you contribute more to the alienation of urban people from experiencing firearms, and thus enjoying them and supporting relevant freedoms. Just as the left alienated those who used to be the WHOLE POINT of leftism - working people - and thus cultivated the backlash that elected Trump - people like Reid Henrichs dig the grave of the Second Amendment as the urban population grows and the rural one shrinks. Anyways, I'm happy to have found Paul because of his level-headedness too.

One thing though is that he's always outdoors in daylight and using hearing protection. When you wake up to a home break-in, its dark, you're using night vision, and don't have time to put on hearing protection, and you fire that weapon in an enclosed small space like a bedroom hallway, you're going to be half deaf and possibly half blind if using some of these really short barrel "home defense" shotguns that are popular now. IMO, stick with a suppressed 9mm with a laser light on it: 1) fits in a small bedside safe. 2) you have a light to make sure you're not shooting your daughter's boyfriend that snuck in for some action when just scaring him is enough 3) if you have to shoot you maintain all your senses. 4) you can easily hold the gun one handed while opening doors and what not

I noticed this mistake and stopped him before we had a bedroom pop. Always be sure the weapon is clear. Even when you’re trying to show off how cool you are with your guns.

If someone hands you a gun and claims it is empty always check for yourself. You will be the one responsible if you pull the trigger and it isn't.

Correct. To add to that, the smaller the shot, the more rounds you get. The shorter the barrel, the wider the spread pattern. Couple that to something he did not mention. In a dark house at night with an intruder, the cycling of the shotgun action will cause most intruders to run their ass off to get out the door. Consider that the first shot where wall penetration is not a factor.

There's no such thing as "common sense." Humans know what they know and understand what they understand because of *reason* and *experience.* If it was "common sense" to *not* touch a hot stove coil, children wouldn't touch them. However, children *do* touch hot stove coils, because they don't know any better. When they get burned, they *experience* the ramifications of their mistake and, applying their basic *reasoning* skills, *understand* why they shouldn't do such an action. The only feeling or knowledge we have intrinsically besides our basic emotions is instinct. Instinct is about survival, about *life or death.* Instinct isn't about checking guns or shooting fast. Instinct is about *avoiding death.* It doesn't encompass "common sense." Therefore, no such thing exists. You know what you know because you've *experienced* it and, because you use your basic *reasoning* skills, you've come to a logical conclusion. The whole "common sense" concept is usually just a cop-out or a catch-22 used by people who want to discredit or blame someone without actually crafting a logical argument. People have invented ways to "win" arguments for thousands of years. Take this with a grain of salt, but I believe it may have some relation to religion.

First off, I just discovered your channel, and it is extremely refreshing to have a personality like you making videos. I'm so sick of the tacti-cool bad-ass posers who think their poo is cherry pie. So thank you for being an honest, open, and reasonable personality in the gun community. Anyways, I've always been curious as to what happens to the pellets AFTER they go through a target. For example, do they still penetrate a wall after passing through the torso of a man? I can find no such research, and do not have the luxury of shooting anything I want at my local range. Maybe this is just irrelevant, but I don't know. Any clarity would be much appreciated. Thanks again for the awesome videos!

Looking at the ballistic gel tests from other videos, 00 buckshot looks like it will go through a typical human, and could possibly injure another human on the other side. However, I can't see it as having enough remaining velocity to penetrate even ONE interior wall. And the lighter #4 he shoots (as well as the 20 gauge #3) I can't see ever making it all the way through a human. Flesh (let alone any bone) is a massive drag on the pellets. Far more than something like sheetrock.

@@filianablanxart8305 Not really. That combination isn't even up to 2A body armor standards. Buckshot at that range isn't likely to penetrate well, and Turkey shot even less so. But, and it's an important but, the impact is still going to be enough to put the perp on their back. Moreover, it's pretty likely that at least some of the pellets penetrated, particular in Not-So-Well-Protected areas. Then again, at those ranges, lots of handguns aren't that reliable either for "definite" kills. It's not really that good of an idea to be counting on a immediate kill from virtually any non-rifle out past 25 yards or so. And that's even for unprotected targets. But in all those cases, the ability to incapacitate or kill a target with several shots in a couple of seconds is a VERY high likelihood. Fixation on "100% first shot kill" is foolish, because you're not likely to HIT a target at even modest range with anything BUT a shotgun. High volume of fire (semi-auto pistols/rifles) compensate for this lack of accuracy by putting many shots out in 2-3 seconds. Shotguns compensate for a very-high percentage of at least SOME hits per shot. And when I say "accuracy", I'm talking about actual, in-situation accuracy, which is notoriously bad for everyone. Truth is, in a high-stress self-defense situation, you're going to be lucky to hit a target with your 2nd or 3rd shot from a rifle/pistol if the range is 25 yards or more. Moreover, it's going to be VERY suspicious in the eyes of the law if you're shooting someone at 25+ yards that hasn't shot at you first. They're going to say "but you didn't have a reasonable fear for your life", even if said person is tresspassing and carrying a gun.

As far as "shooting ten rounds faster with a rifle" isn't the point of shooting multiple rounds, getting multiple projectiles into your target? If that's case, even with OO Buck, in the first round fired, you are looking at nine projectiles headed down range at your target. After seven rounds, that's sixty-three. So if you are looking at the end result, wouldn't the shotgun, actually outpace the rifle as far as putting projectiles into a threat?

Shotguns put out so much more firepower in a single pull than an ar variant could ever hope to do even automatic. a 10 Rd mag with 2 3/4inch #4 buck will put 270 6 mm holes in the same time an ar variant could put 10 5.56 mm holes.
@savirien42665 жыл бұрын

@Elthenar5 жыл бұрын
The idea that a single shotgun round contains more firepower than a mag from an AR is a bit foolish. You saw in this test where the shotguns were barely going through the structure but the AR went through it, through another 2x4 and kept trucking. This is strictly google info but it seems somewhere in the right ball park. The average 00 buck round fires about 480 grains of lead at around 1200 ft/s at the muzzle. That amounts to an impressive energy of just over 1500 ft-lbs. By comparison, an AR puts out about 1300 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, most ammo is around 60 grains and sends it out at around 3000 ft/s. So a 5.56 round is fairly close to the raw power of a 00buck shell. The advantage of the shotgun is that at close range, it's going to dump all or most of that energy into your target where the 5.56 or 7.62 is likely to go right though your target and take a big chunk of it's energy with it, possibly into a space with bystanders. In fact, like this video shows, 00 Buck may well be overkill when #3 shot is plenty to do the job.
