*FAQ* - this is a cinematic video, not a realistic shooting drill (read description) - first two shots are less than lethal rubber balls for a non-compliant suspect - after "real" shots from a second suspect less than lethal rounds are unloaded and slugs are loaded - shotgun used is the Benelli M3 super 90 and yes, it can fire in pump action or semi-auto mode (change at 2:19)

[@EisblockTV]

What plate carrier is that?

[@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929]

Its because of your video that I remembered that I wanted a spas 12 years ago, now instead I want a benelli m3 for that awesome hybrid pump/semi auto function. I found a knock off m3, the tristar tec 12 What did you use to upgrade the magazine tube to be full length? and what buttstock did you change out for the pistol grip one?

[@wholebunchofkidz]

Bad ass video man!!!👍

[@bishop4144]

I was just watching a video of old western shotguns and seriously thought you were slam-firing that.

[@MackieLevyn]

Sick as hell

[@lerch400block]

Almost every man in Texas is a shotgun operator. Great stuff as always.

[@mmarco8743]

In France, we have almost only accès to shotgun.

This is a Benelli M3 Super 90 - a convertible 12 gauge that can work as pump action or semi-auto shotgun The first 4 loads were less than lethal rubber balls, next 3 were lead slugs and then buckshot for semi-auto fire :)

[@RitmoXL]

When do the shotgun operator shirts come out? :)

[@RitmoXL]

+lron Maiden lol wut.

[@simonferrer]

+Polenar Tactical Ziga, how much did your Benelli cost in Slovenia? I'd love to have one, but the M3 Super 90 costs between $900-$1300 USD in the U.S. [Benelli's MSRP from their website is over $1500 USD], which is a hefty chunk of cash for a shotgun, even a semiautomatic one.

[@1siccej]

so is it a pump shotgun or semi auto.? I seen some shots pump then some seemed like semi auto

[@hepatitisjay]

Same thing happened to me at the grocery store last week!

[@goldfinger379]

Right!

[@luciano4728]

So relatable

[@taylorsj13]

I like how you blend entertainment (i.e. cinematic/dramatic elements) with education (i.e. demonstrating solid tactics). The tactical reloads, primary to secondary transitions, switching from buckshot to slugs on the fly, keeping your eyes on the threat, good muzzle awareness, good use of cover, etc. It's cool to see all of that demonstrated in a scenario while also making me feel like I'm watching a low-budget action movie with a great technical advisor.

[@DeeboComing]

Very nice. I really appreciate you not just dropping mags for no reason.

[@Pappyman]

This

[@shinwary9111]

Agreed with you bro and it's very Important issue but people don't think about that and it's very dangerous sometime in real combat.

[@MrZombieslayer409]

But he did leave three shells next to the truck when he loaded the slugs

[@juststuff8234]

Agreed.. u drop them when ur in a hurry, but pic em. up again ;^)

[@rayhanes1347]

Why wasn't your shotgun already loaded?

[@braydenedman2695]

It's illegal in most states to keep a loaded long gun, or one with a round chambered, in the vehicle

[@rayhanes1347]

Brayden Edman Didn't know that. I thought as long as you had a cpl you could do so. My AR mags are loaded up when I head to the range but one isn't chambered for safety.

[@StancePunk]

a lot of states dont even allow loaded mags in a vehicle. mags and ammo literally being in different bags

[@Boots67]

+Stance Punk yea, that's my state. We also have many other nonsense laws to fight bad guys with guns.....but weird concept, bad guys don't adhere to laws, only good guys do. But that's too logical for my states government.

[@christiancotie4189]

Enables you to choose the ammo type you need based on your situation. If your weapon is loaded full with buck when you need a slug, you’d have to eject the buck to load the slug, which would result in a wasted round and wasted seconds, both bad news in a gunfight.

[@Shooter60X]

your videos are fucking priceless, you always have realistic scenarios with excellent techniques. we appreciate that!!!

[@PolenarTactical]

Thank you, friend! :D

[@CYKOFPLATINUM]

[@johnrodriguez3870]

What I can and do appreciate about the proper , proficient, and professional use of a Shotgun is that the 🔥💥 Arm is not used as if It were a replacement for a Rifle ( M27 IAW) or Carbine ( M4A1 SOPMOD), as well as I AM impressed with the Shooter Downrange,and His proper use.

[@ethannomoccasin9702]

Oh, this is epic! Especially, the ending :)

[@Bjornkyn]

What kind of armor carrier are you using? Nice movement, and nice call by the "partner" that got shot, still managed to warn you.

[@snajper1201]

Its only me or moment when he pulled out the shotgun was too long and he could die at this point?

[@mondaysinsanity8193]

Yep mag fed is so much better the loading sequence for a tube mag is rediculous

[@dudebroski9460]

@@mondaysinsanity8193 i disagree. I own a saiga 12 and an 870 wingmaster. The wing master is easier to keep gassed up during extended shooting and its more tuneable to the situation. If i load 5 mags for the saiga thats what i have, but at any monent i can open the 870 drop the round and pop in anything from birdshot to slugs. The saiga is cool but just not quite as tacticool as a pump. I have my dealer looking for an m3 for me currently. Its super cool.

[@mondaysinsanity8193]

[@cjmj26]

I wish my M3 Super 90 had this type of stock, mine has the pistol grip style--great underrated shotgun

[@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929]

You can probably change it. I have a tristar tec 12 which is a budget clone of the m3 and I took off the pistol grip stock and adapted a remmington youth stock for mine. I ended up having to mill out a little bit of the connection point to make it fit but its solid. Unfortunately my magazine extension modification didnt go quite as well and may have done some damage do its functionality.

[@perunikavarnost6472]

[@Excalibur01]

I don't understand why you had the Benelli set to pump first when you know the shots you use will feed in semi auto or why did you switched to pistol for the second target when using shotgun will still be effective at laying down effective fire from that range.

[@charlie424]

The white rounds (first couple of shots) are actually rubber shots fired at way lower pressure than standard buckshots. Semi-autos can't cycle those rounds automatically

***** Correct! :)
