This video debunks the WWI myth that American soldiers could shoot grenades out of the air with shotguns. Live testing revealed that buckshot embeds in grenades, and birdshot lacks the mass to significantly alter trajectory. The myth originated from a DuPont advertisement exaggerating trapshooting skills. Historical context also highlights the limited deployment and reliability issues (jams due to wet paper cartridges) of trench shotguns.
