This video, a "Throwback Thursday" revisiting an older "slugfest" with the Mossberg 590 A1, demonstrates the effectiveness and surprising accuracy of 1 oz. Foster slugs fired from a smoothbore, cylinder-bore shotgun. Hickok45 highlights their utility as a "poor man's rifle" for hunting and defensive applications, showcasing their impact on various targets and discussing their ballistic properties. The video emphasizes that even with a simple bead front sight, accurate shooting is achievable at moderate ranges, challenging common misconceptions about slug performance in smoothbore barrels.

This video tests the downrange energy of a .22 caliber BRK Sarro rifle using H&N slugs at 130 yards. The test utilizes Firebird targets, which explode upon impact, to visually demonstrate the slug's energy transfer. The rifle demonstrated impressive accuracy and sufficient power to knock over the target stand at the tested distance.

This video showcases the impressive accuracy of the BRK Sagauro air rifle at 100 yards. The reviewer demonstrates that the rifle requires no tuning for both pellet and slug shooting, delivering sub-inch groups consistently. The BRK Sagauro is highlighted as an excellent option for shooters who want immediate accuracy out of the box.

This video reviews the brand new AEA Challenger Pro air rifle chambered in .338 caliber. The reviewer highlights its fully bench-rest-ready setup, including a full rail, adjustable regulator, hammer spring, and transfer port. Initial accuracy tests with AEA slugs at 100 yards yielded groups around 1.5 inches, while tests with 62-grain AEA pellets showed impressive accuracy, with the reviewer calling it an 'ultimate budget bench rest' setup.

This video reviews the Umarex Zelos airgun, highlighting its exceptional accuracy with slugs at 100 yards. The reviewer demonstrates impressive groupings with various ammunition types, particularly H&N 23-grain slugs, achieving a half-inch group. The Zelos is praised for outperforming significantly more expensive airguns, making it a remarkable value.

This video demonstrates a three-step testing protocol for evaluating the performance of a 'Tenderizer' shotgun slug. The tests include an energy assessment with a water bucket, an accuracy evaluation on paper, and a lethality test using ballistics gelatin and a watermelon. The results indicate the slug possesses significant energy and creates a large wound channel, suggesting high lethality.

This video argues for the practical benefits of red dot sights on shotguns, challenging the notion that they are unnecessary. It highlights how red dots enhance accuracy for various applications, including hunting, self-defense, and competition, by offering advantages like both-eyes-open shooting, parallax-free aiming, and improved low-light performance. The speaker emphasizes that shotguns, when properly sighted, can be effective at much greater distances than commonly believed.

This review focuses on the performance of the Epic Air Guns air rifle with various H&N slugs. The reviewer found that heavier slugs, specifically 38 and 40 grain options, yielded the most impressive accuracy, with tight groups achievable at 100 yards. The airgun demonstrated significant power and accuracy capabilities, prompting plans for further testing at extended ranges.

This review covers the Tokarev TT12, a budget-friendly 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun with an AR10-style form factor. The reviewer highlights its affordable price point (under $300 wholesale, $400 MSRP) and notes its functional similarity to other Turkish shotguns. Key features include Ambi controls, an M-LOK handguard, and a polymer lower. The shotgun demonstrated reliable cycling with various ammunition types, including birdshot, buckshot, and slugs, achieving a 4-inch group at 50 yards with slugs. While the optic rail required some persuasion due to being out of spec, the overall handling and ergonomics were praised, making it a compelling option for its price.

This review of the Rock Island Armory Traditional Single Shot 12-gauge shotgun highlights its budget-friendly nature, around $100, and its utility for basic tasks. Manufactured by Derya Arms in Turkey and imported by RIA, it features a 20-inch barrel, 3-inch chamber, and comes with Full, Modified, and Cylinder chokes. While the heavy initial hammer pull and stiff action are noted, the trigger pull is surprisingly light. The shotgun demonstrates consistent patterning with birdshot and can be effective for deer hunting at 50-75 yards with slugs, though accuracy requires sight compensation.

This review provides an in-depth look at the Benelli M1014 civilian variant, highlighting its features, performance, and differences from its military counterpart. The presenter, having used the shotgun for a month, details its ARGO gas system, fixed choke, and ghost ring sights. Testing includes buckshot spread and penetration at various distances through a car door, as well as slug accuracy out to 50 yards, concluding it's a durable defensive shotgun.

This review of the Weihrauch HW 100 Sporter carbine highlights its impressive accuracy with both pellets and slugs at 50 and 100 yards. The airgun features a smooth action, comes with two magazines, and includes a moderator that significantly reduces noise. The reviewer emphasizes the German engineering and overall quality of the rifle, noting its consistent performance.
