This video demonstrates an experimental 'half and half' cut shell technique for pump-action shotguns, aiming to improve cycling reliability compared to traditional full cuts. The host, from Civilian Tactical, tests the modification on Federal 12 Gauge Birdshot shells. While the technique shows promise in maintaining shell integrity during initial chambering, live fire testing reveals significant issues with hull ripping during ejection and inconsistent target impacts, leading to a conclusion of only 50% effectiveness.

This review of the Citadel Boss 25 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun highlights its performance with various ammunition types. The reviewer experienced cycling issues with high-velocity buckshot and slugs due to the lightweight buffer, noting that the bolt outran the magazine spring. Federal birdshot, however, ran flawlessly. Ultimately, the reviewer found the shotgun uncomfortable to shoot due to recoil and decided to sell it.
