You don't need to empty the shells in the A400 by cycling the bolt. You can simply reach into the loading well and press a lever on the side and it will kick out the shells back through the loading well without touching the action for safety.

[@GamoFIN]

Yeah and thats common with most semi auto shotguns and I believe this is the way the old person in the video was trying to do it. And some times its bit fiddly to do it that way. But this seems like a case that folk that do not actually know what was happening here are just having a laugh.

5:20 would you like fries with that hubris? You're right, a lot of people do FEEL that way about them. It's the same as what's referred to as Trump derangement syndrome. A rush to judgment followed by skewing everything to fit the view you chose before receiving the information. Symptoms include: irritability, frustration, lack of empathy, and feeling everything is reversed, up is down, etc. As for the 2nd, still wrong. Popular as it may be these days, it's false. Likely popularized by the same b@$t@rds that corrupted the NRA and insist that hunters think 2A is about them having a right to hunt. We don't. Hell, YOU don't think that. The 2nd ammendment was written to define our national military and wasn't followed even while the founding fathers were still around.

[@brianhillis3701]

I was taught to unload the gun between rounds. While standing at the last station. That way nobody would possibly get shot. Typical day I would unload at least 4 times. Carried a box of rounds on one side and a pouch for empties. Had a big pocket for unloaded rounds.

[@enzochiapet]

@@brianhillis3701 In trap and skeet you should automatically be empty at the end of each round. Are you overloading?

Not buying the trap excuse. It's not true about being empty every time. You don't HAVE to pull the trigger, (especially to unload it- LoL). Getting on target can be a challenge on crossing shots, so you save ammo.

@@Carryhandle556 My wife just bought me a new Beretta A300 Patrol in May 2024 for my birthday. My only complaints about the A300 Patrol that I received is that it is in that fruity blue camo and that there wasn't an owner's manual anywhere in the box because thie A300 Patrol doesn't come with an owner's manual BUT you can see the owner's manual at the Beretta website I don't have a cell phone and I use the computer as little as possible at home since I am on a computer quite often in my job and the last thing that I want to do is be on a stinking computer all day at work and then come home and replicate my day at work. I guess the cost saver team figured that since Beretta was selling their shotguns at such a cheap price (Sarcasm) and damn near giving their shotguns away (More Sarcasm) then us Beretta shooting freeloaders don't deserve a hard copy owner's manual As for the gun itself, I do love my Beretta A300 Patrol except for the fruity blue camo finish but I couldn't complain when my wife decided to surprise me with such a fine shotgun. Why did my wife choose fruity blue? Well because when my wife walked into the local gun shop to order the shotgun the shop owner's wife waited on my wife and told my wife that she (Owner's Wife) loved the fruity blue so much that she bought herself an A300 Patrol in fruity blue AND because the owner's wife wanted her own rare gun and proceeded to tell my wife that Beretta only made between 2,000 and 5,000 A300 Patrols in the fruity blue color scheme. I guess it isn't that big of a deal since it's not the type of shotgun that I will take to a trap shoot but on the other hand I won't let that fruity blue stop me from grabbing the shotgun if trouble kicks up on my farm or send a slug down the fruity blue barrel at trespassing deer in my lower pasture. That is IF the deer trespass during deer season

It's surprising he was in the National Guard 24 years and couldn't handle his gun better than that. However, that was a shotgun, not a rifle such as an M-16 or AR-15. I think the take on this is correct. Walz and Harris just aren't genuine or believable.

Nothing is surprising about National Guard soldiers being totally unfamiliar with their weapons and equipment to me. Not all of 'em, just most of 'em. Lots of high ranking officers and shockingly some enlisted leadership sit behind a desk and shine a seat with their ass their entire career. Walz, to a lesser extent I think, and Harris are definitely doing so to try and appeal to people outside of their base. This would be a bigger deal if it wasn't Trump in the opposition. Don't you just love the two party stranglehold?

[@UnyonRing]

I don't understand the "genuine" argument honestly. Walz is the most normal of a person to be in politics for awhile. He was the only one on the ballot that owns no property or stocks. If i'm going to call any politician out for not being genuine its not him. All politicians stretch facts or embellish things. There's not a person on the ballot I couldn't find at least 5 lies or exaggerations right now. For Trump I could probably find you 50 lies in just a few minutes.

Well usually in trap you shoot your gun empty so no unloading needed. And also semiautos or bit of strugle to unload if you do it the way he actually tried with out racking the bolt for every shell. Seems to me that he tried to empty the magasine tube directly with pressing the release in the inside that allows you to unload the shells. And thats sometimes stuck and fiddly especially with less used shotguns.

[@gadgethunter5732]

the only trap rounds I have shot required one shot at a time. Load the shell directly into the chamber, then shoot at the clay. Or pull the bolt back to remove the chambered round. Loading 2 into the gun is a big no no. And will result in being thrown off the line or reprimanded by the range officer.

[@stilltwisted1]

1st time viewer of your channel , thanking Steve, for your insights and straight talk

[@pawpawcotee]

Regarding unloading the A400. You can actually save a few steps on the remaining shells in the magazine by pushing in the shell lifter and while depressed, pressing down on the attachment point (screw head) of the paddle release (not the paddle itself). This will release the shell into your fingers/hand. Very simple and efficient. Most all SA's are capable of unloading this way.

[@The_Fowl_Line]

I also commented this lol wish I seen this first.

[@newscoulomb3705]

It's generally true for any tube magazine. What I think people are avoiding is that he was clearly trying to not drop any shells on the ground. That means he's holding the gun in a safe direction, manipulating one or more parts of the gun, holding shells that have already been removed, and attempting to catch the remaining shells as they are unloaded. To me, it's the people who say it looks "awkward" who aren't experienced with unloading a gun in the field.

[@pawpawcotee]

​@newscoulomb3705 my comment was pointed toward Steve so other SA owners see the alternative methods.

[@GamoFIN]

And I believe the person in the video was trying to do this but this. But with new guns this can be quite tight and stuck and its struggle to use it. I think @TargetFocusedLife should have adressed this and not just shown one of the ways to unload the shells.

[@WillAsplund]

yes, this is how walz was unloading.

[@davidransom4476]

The problem I see with this, (and I thought he was trying to load it from shells in the same hand as holding it), is that he said he bought it for trap. My dad shot trap at the gun club a lot, and reloaded to save money. I've even seen other sites use "skeet" as if that's the same as trap. My dad might shoot 5-6 rounds of trap on a Sunday at the club. Through all those shells, he would only load one shell at a time for each time he shot. He never did a round where they throw two birds. This tells me that Walz might never have used the magazine on his Beretta if he only used it for trap. I had a Remington 1100 I bought around 1967 that I would just manually cycle to unload, either ejecting the shells or pulling the bolt back and rolling it to catch the round. No fancy buttons.

[@brandontarr5418]

No love for Walz from me to be sure, but the criticism in this instance is unwarranted. This is literally the most unintuitive shotgun in the world when it comes to unloading. Pick almost any other auto-loading shotgun in existence, you cycle the bolt 3 times (with the safety on) and the gun is unloaded. The A400 isn't "safer" it's fumbly.

[@waikanaebeach]

I own 3 A400 and use them regularly. If you do not want drop the cartridges then unloading can be hard to do, I fumble them occasionally especially with cold hands.

He's been hunting at every opener in Minnesota since he became governor. Got a rooster in 2019, 2021 and two in 2022. Lots of people don't like his politics, but this version of Tim Walz you're seeing is the same Tim Walz he's always been. Yeah he's a real dork, but that's him.

[@scottleggejr]

How are they not in the most prime hunting grounds in the whole state? I know where they do this kind of event in my state and no one can get within 2 miles of it before season opens due to all the baiting and sketchy shit for the photo ops...

I did a search for tim walz shotgun and you showed up. You seem like a very positive and likable guy. I don't know what your channel is all about (guns), but I'm going to subscribe. I like guns but more importantly, hearing a positive voice will be refreshing. Also, I like the way you express your politics and thoughts. Keep it up, I'm going to give your channel a shot.

[@jeremymatlock2049]

Great way to explain the truth!! Very tastefully done ..👏

[@TreyFaulknerTX]

First time seeing one of your videos. You, sir, are spot-on! What a great video!

[@yfs24816]

Walz stated that he bought the 8400 when he was skeet shooting. It was obvious he had no clue how to handle the shotgun. The big deal is Walz once again lies about his experience with his shotgun and hunting.

[@robertstinauer8789]

You are right on! A simple video of unloading a semi auto shotgun was over sensationalized by the media. I've owned the same gun and struggled with it at times. The points about Harris/Walz taking away weapons hit the nail on the head also. I too am rural and love my shotguns. Great presentation!

[@rickhicks6833]

His "bought it for trap" isn't being mentioned. That's no trap gun.

[@peterpan9516]

That is a shotgun and it is the right tool for trap, if is the “right” model that is a different story

[@rickhicks6833]

@@peterpan9516 it's not a "trap gun." Tell me you don't shoot trap with that statement. So a Shockwave would make a good trap gun? His statement was he bought it specifically for shooting trap. You democrats will defend the undefendable every time.

[@peterpan9516]

@@rickhicks6833 a shotgun is the gun type that is use at trap, dont tell me you shot an AR, bolt rife or a pistol. Yes, a Beretta DT11 is a better option but at the end of the day you can use any shotgun you want. You trump minions cant have critical thinking 🤔

[@ernesthercher5193]

A trap gun is designed to shoot high at a rising target. You can shoot trap with a hunting shotgun it’s just harder. Anybody that has shot a lot of trap uses a gun designed for trap if he’s serious. And yes I have shot a fair amount of trap and I own a A-400 like they are talking about.

[@rickhicks6833]

@ernesthercher5193 hahaha, no shit, fucking brilliant mr. Obvious. He said he "bought it for trap." So a trap. Specific gun. Not a hunting gun. I shoot trap 2 days a week with an ithica model 37, a Winchester 1912 or a bennelli sbe3. They are not trap guns. Most people are using Kreighoff's, Perrazi's or Browning bt-99 or Citori's. Those are trap guns.

[@jamesadams1357]

Just want to thank you sir for your work to show people what an amazing versatile firearm the shotgun is. It's a shame more people aren't subscribed to your channel. I'm 54 years old and been shooting a shotgun for literally 48 of those blessed years. I started with a single shot 410 and my love has grown over the years. I use a shotgun for everything from squirrel, rabbit, quail, grouce, turkey, bobcat, fox, coyote and even deer. Nothing is as versatile as the shotgun and never will come close. Thank you for all your work. I can tell a real man when I see one. God bless

Thank you for an honest review.

[@ryanallen2887]

Thank you for making this video! Unfortunately it takes some guts to tell the truth in today’s society. A lot of “hunters” are not gun people, every hunting season they have to relearn their firearm. It’s funny to watch but I wouldn’t hold it against him except that he tries to sell himself as a regular shooter. Dishonesty and half truths don’t go far with me. As a Minnesota resident I keep hoping people will wake up and start thinking for themselves. So many people just vote down party lines without a single thought if the candidate actually represents their values. Then again many people in the Twin Cities area seem to have completely lost their minds, no faith in God, calling what is evil good and what is good evil, really sad to watch. I love your show, God bless you and your family!

[@scottleggejr]

Oh man! Around here, the shooting ranges host free clay days to prep for these to help people learn their guns so this kind of mishap doesn't happen in the field. Imagine all the goofballs out there with loaded guns rattling around in their trucks with dogs walking on the cases and such. Scary times. "How do we unload the nukes?" guy over here...

All the criticism he gets, he's earned. As you say, he's disingenuous, therefore he's earned the best criticism. He's done a lot of bad things and lied about a lot of others.

[@James-kn6om]

And Trump has never been known to lie or be disingenuous or lie, right?

[@tinawebb2768]

It would not have been so bad if he had not said “well, I can shoot better than all of them, I guarantee it!”

[@ponycarfan]

Watching him made me nervous, it was an awful display of gun handling. Seems like the perfect shotgun to give someone if you want them to look like an idiot, which is a fitting metaphor for his entire political career.

[@pm3rtz]

Well said. Thanks for having the courage to share.

[@Helpline5815]

If you're shooting trap, 9/10 times you're only loading one shot, so this issue would not come into play. Sometimes you load two, but same thing, it wouldn't come into play.

[@briannemec9214]

When shooting trap, unless shooting doubles, you only load one shell at a time. The shell is laying in the open receiver. The shell is not put in the chamber until you are ready to shoot. I do not have a 400 for trap I have 391s. It is a very rare that I ever I had to unload after placing a shell in the receiver. And to unload you just roll the shotgun and the shell drops in your hand. On doubles roll the shell out into your hand, release the bolt, pull bolt back and roll out the second shell into your hand. Fast and simple. So one could shoot a lot of trap and never had to unload the magazine. If I was a hunter I would probably do the same. That way no matter which auto I was using the unload is the same. just saying

[@cecilpharr1388]

I traveled all over the Southeast shooting trap in competitions. The shotgun that Tim has in the video is for hunting, not shooting trap. The only shooters that showed up at a trap field with this type of shotgun were hunters trying to get used to shooting and leading a target again after a long break.
