The firing speed of a pump-action shotgun is determined by the user's ability to cycle the action quickly. In contrast, semi-automatic shotguns are limited by the speed of the user's trigger finger. The video demonstrates these concepts using a Remington 870 Marine Magnum and a tactical semi-auto shotgun resembling a Benelli M4.
This review highlights five top combat shotguns, detailing their unique features and applications. The Benelli M3 offers versatility with its pump/semi-auto conversion, while the Fostech Origin 12 boasts rapid cycling. The classic Remington 870 Marine Magnum provides reliable corrosion resistance, the FN SLP offers smooth gas operation, and the Benelli M4 stands out as a military-grade tactical option. A wildcard pick, the Beretta 1201FP, is also discussed for its lightweight design.
This review of the Remington 870 Marine Magnum highlights its robust electroless nickel plating for superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for harsh environments or vehicle storage. The shotgun is tested with various loads, including Federal Premium buckshot and Brenneke slugs, demonstrating its 6+1 capacity and compatibility with 3-inch magnum shells. Special attention is given to the effectiveness of Federal FliteControl wads for tight patterning and an explanation of the 'cut shell' technique.
