This BUG match pits the Serbu Super Shorty 12-gauge shotgun against the MIL Thunder 5 .410 revolver. While both are unusual firearms for backup, the match highlights their practical limitations. The Thunder 5's extreme spread and slow reloads make it unsuitable for defense, and the Super Shorty's grip can cause cycling issues. Both proved fun for competition but impractical for real-world scenarios.

The Beretta 80X Cheetah is a modern revival of the classic 80 series pistols, offering a 13-round .380 ACP capacity with an optic-ready slide and ambidextrous controls. It features a DA/SA trigger with a frame-mounted safety/decocker that provides a shorter double-action pull when partially engaged. Competitors found it accurate and shootable, comparing favorably to older models like the CZ 82/83.

This video provides an empirical test of the A&W Diverter, a commercial muzzle device designed to create an oval shot pattern. Expert analysis from Matt Haught and Ian McCollum details its historical context for riot control and airbase defense. Testing with various birdshot and buckshot loads at 10 yards demonstrates the diverter's ability to produce significant horizontal spread, particularly with smaller shot sizes, though larger buckshot can exhibit pellet deformation and a 'donut of death' effect.
