Videos tagged with Shotgun Cycling

This video highlights the exceptional ammunition versatility of a specific G-Force shotgun, demonstrating its ability to cycle a wide range of ammunition, including heavy 7.5 ounce slugs and smaller 3-inch T-shot slugs. Unlike many Turkish-made shotguns that require high velocity rounds to function, this model is presented as capable of reliably firing even low-recoil loads, as claimed by G-Force.

This video demonstrates the significant drawbacks of using cut shells in shotguns. The presenter shows how cut shells fail to cycle properly, leading to malfunctions. Furthermore, ballistic testing reveals that cut shells fragment upon impact, acting like a grenade and dispersing energy widely, which can be more devastating but less controlled than standard ammunition.

This video tests the Mossberg 990 shotgun's ability to feed and cycle mini shells. The presenter found that the shotgun struggled significantly, experiencing double feeds and jams, ultimately concluding that it will not reliably cycle mini shells.

This video compares pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, highlighting their mechanical differences, operational advantages, and disadvantages. Pump actions are noted for their simplicity, reliability with various shell types, and lower cost, while semi-automatics offer faster follow-up shots. The instructor emphasizes that while semi-automatics can be faster, skilled shooters can achieve impressive speeds with pump actions, and the choice often comes down to user preference, intended application, and budget.

This video showcases the Benelli M2 shotgun in a live-fire demonstration, highlighting its cycling and ejection in slow motion. The footage, presented by firearms influencer Naaming Kotchanok, emphasizes the Taran Tactical Innovations (TTI) custom package, featuring an extended magazine tube. The demonstration focuses on the visual aspects of the shotgun's operation during firing.

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 video demonstrates the proper technique for cycling pump-action shotguns, featuring models like the Hatsan Escort and Fabarm Martial. The creator, identified as DROBASHEVICH, showcases smooth and efficient manipulation of the firearm's action in a tactical retail environment. The demonstration highlights key features and the rhythmic operation characteristic of these types of shotguns.
