This video explores the differences between birdshot, buckshot, and slug shotgun shells, focusing on their performance and recoil characteristics in a 12-gauge Mossberg 590 Shockwave. The presenter demonstrates firing each type, highlighting that birdshot is easiest to shoot with less recoil, buckshot offers more stopping power for defense but with significantly higher recoil, and slugs provide the most penetration and power but also the most punishing recoil. The video also showcases the benefits of using mini shells with an adapter for reduced recoil and increased capacity.
