This video provides an expert-level analysis of the .410 shotgun slug's effectiveness for deer hunting, directly addressing the 'inhumane' debate. The speaker, demonstrating high authority through detailed ballistic testing, concludes that the .410 can be humane for deer at close range (under 50 yards) if the correct ammunition, specifically the Brenneke .410 slug, is utilized. The comparison with .44 Magnum highlights that while .410 slugs may have less energy than some .44 Magnum loads from short barrels, their primary limitation is penetration due to fragmentation, with the Brenneke slug being a notable exception.

This video segment from "American Rifleman Television" delves into the history and features of the M30 Luftwaffe drilling, a firearm issued to German aircrews during World War II for survival. The segment highlights its unique triple-barrel design, its selection by Hermann Göring from J.P. Sauer & Sohn's commercial sporting rifle lineup, and the extensive survival gear included in its issue crate. The M30 is noted for its fine craftsmanship, contrasting with typical utilitarian military arms, and its role as a robust survival tool.

The Mossberg 590S Shockwave is a versatile 12-gauge firearm legally classified as a smooth bore firearm, not a shotgun, making it non-NFA compliant. Its key feature is the ability to reliably cycle a wide range of shell lengths, from 1.75-inch mini shells to 3-inch shells, without adapters. The review demonstrates its effectiveness with various ammunition types, including specialized slugs and birdshot loads, and discusses potential upgrades like laser sights and its suitability for home defense.

The Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical offers significant value as a semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun, building upon the 930 platform with competition-inspired upgrades. Key improvements include an enlarged loading port for faster reloads, an adjustable stock for customizable length of pull, and a factory-cut optic-ready receiver. The redesigned gas system promises enhanced reliability, capable of running up to 1,500 rounds before cleaning and effectively managing recoil from heavy loads.

The Benelli Supernova LE offers Benelli quality at a pump-action price point, often retailing under $500. While it boasts a 7+1 capacity and the effective ComforTech stock for recoil reduction, potential buyers should be aware of reported trigger pin breakages after high round counts and a limited aftermarket accessory selection compared to competitors like the Remington 870 or Mossberg 590.

This review of the ATI Halo Side Saddle for Mossberg 500/590 highlights its modular design, integrated rail for optics like the Burris FastFire, and secure shell retention via rubber inserts. Testing confirmed the mount's ability to hold zero under recoil and maintain shell security with both slugs and buckshot. Notably, the design allows for firearm disassembly for cleaning without removing the mount, and provides access to the serial number.

This test evaluates Brenneke 12-gauge slugs against common wall materials. Standard exterior walls offer no protection, with all tested slugs penetrating easily. Cinder blocks also fail to reliably stop the slugs, though they sustain significant damage. Brick walls offer more resistance, with lighter slugs being stopped or partially penetrating, but heavier loads and rapid fire can breach them.

This video showcases the destructive power of Brenneke 12 gauge slugs fired from a side-by-side shotgun at a large pumpkin. Hickok45 demonstrates loading and firing both barrels simultaneously, resulting in a dramatic explosion. Slow-motion replays highlight the impact and debris.
