This video discusses the US Army's $11.6 million contract for Mossberg shotguns, primarily the 590 A1 variant. The speaker, a former senior non-commissioned officer and master marksmanship trainer, highlights the reliability, simplicity, and effectiveness of Mossberg pump-action shotguns in military applications like breaching and gate guard duties. He contrasts them with semi-automatic options, emphasizing their durability in austere environments.

This video from 704 TACTICAL tests various extreme shotgun ammunition rounds against a Ford Ranger, starting with the truck bed and progressing to the engine. The instructor demonstrates the impact and penetration capabilities of standard birdshot, double buckshot, and several specialty rounds like the Pitbull, Double Slug, Macho Gaucho, SO Round, Brass Tenderizer, and Steel Dumbbell. The tests reveal significant damage, with some rounds penetrating the truck bed and doors, while others are designed for expansion and personal defense. The video culminates in testing powerful rounds against a running engine, ultimately disabling the vehicle.

This guide details essential upgrades for a Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun for home defense. Key modifications include adding a Streamlight Protac HLX weapon light with a Cloud Defensive LCS mount for improved ergonomics and illumination, a Magpul sling for carry comfort, and a Holosun 508T red dot sight on a FerroTec mount for faster target acquisition. The video emphasizes the importance of proper light mounting to avoid snagging and suggests #4 Buckshot as a suitable self-defense load.

This video compares the performance of a semi-automatic shotgun (Beretta 1301) against a pump-action shotgun (Remington 870) through various drills focused on speed and manipulation. The instructor highlights that while semi-automatics are generally faster, proficiency with either platform heavily relies on consistent training. The comparison emphasizes the ease of use for less experienced shooters with semi-automatics, while acknowledging the potential for pump-actions to be just as effective with sufficient practice.

This video explores the effectiveness of sporting shotguns with birdshot for home defense, challenging the common belief that only buckshot or slugs are adequate. Based on experience as a police officer and practical demonstrations, the content suggests that birdshot, particularly when fired from a full-choke sporting shotgun at close distances, can be surprisingly effective. The video compares the patterns of number 8 birdshot, double buckshot, and Federal's number 1 tactical buckshot from different shotgun configurations to illustrate penetration and spread characteristics.
