Videos tagged with Slug Ammunition

This guide details a demonstration of the Genesis Arms Gen12 shotgun for home defense, comparing the effects of 12-gauge slugs and buckshot on a simulated target. The video highlights the effectiveness of both ammunition types, with slugs delivering focused impact and buckshot causing significant fragmentation. The demonstration emphasizes proper firearm handling and the importance of selecting appropriate ammunition for defensive scenarios.

This video debunks the myth that higher brass on a 12-gauge shotgun shell directly equates to more power and recoil. Through practical testing with various ammunition types, including the Balikli Blue Label shotgun and Hickory Flat Boars' Meat Hammer, the presenter demonstrates that projectile weight and powder charge are the primary drivers of felt recoil. The instruction emphasizes understanding ammunition components for informed shooting practices.

This video explores the Standard Manufacturing SSR, a shotgun capable of firing multiple shots with a single trigger pull, classifying it as a 'Volley Gun'. It demonstrates the SSR's dual-barrel firing mechanism, highlighting the difference between single-shot and burst modes. The presenter tests recoil with both birdshot and slug ammunition, noting the surprisingly manageable recoil even with slugs.

This video showcases three distinct shotguns from Civilian Tactical. It features a traditional over/under shotgun, the Dair Arms D12 Y with a unique drum magazine, and the Standard Manufacturing SSR double-barrel shotgun capable of firing both barrels simultaneously. The presenter demonstrates shooting various ammunition types, including paper rounds, slugs, birdshot, and high-brass magnum loads, highlighting the recoil and performance of each.

This video evaluates the evolution of the double-barrel shotgun, contrasting a classic Gearson Blue Label over/under with the Standard Manufacturing SSR. The SSR introduces dual magazine tubes and a unique mechanism allowing both barrels to fire simultaneously with a single trigger pull, creating significant recoil and a unique firing experience.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the .410 shotgun's suitability for deer hunting, directly addressing the 'inhumane' debate. Through rigorous testing with ballistic gel and water jugs, the instructor demonstrates that while standard .410 slugs may lack penetration, specialized loads like the Brenneke .410 Magnum slug offer sufficient power and ethical performance for deer at close ranges (under 50 yards). The analysis highlights the importance of slug selection and understanding terminal ballistics for humane harvests.

This video features firearms instructor Hickok45 demonstrating the Benelli M4 shotgun and a Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver. He discusses firearm maintenance, shooting techniques for both platforms, and offers insights into the firearms market. The content emphasizes safe handling and responsible ownership, with practical advice on ammunition selection and firearm care.

This video showcases the Benelli M4 shotgun being used to shoot slugs at a gong. The presenter expresses enjoyment of the sound and the performance of the firearm, highlighting its status as a favorite. While not a formal training video, it demonstrates a practical application of a shotgun with slugs in a recreational shooting context.

This video tests the durability of a budget-friendly Hucus 6X prismatic optic, marketed as an ACOG alternative, against 100 rounds of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition. The test utilizes Black Aces Tactical 1.2 oz slugs and buckshot fired from a GeForce Arms Gatlander semi-automatic shotgun. The primary goal is to determine if the optic can withstand the abuse and maintain its zero.

This video provides a practical, experimental comparison between a homemade 12-gauge slug and a commercially produced one, testing their terminal ballistics against a car door. The host, demonstrating high authority, details the DIY slug casting process using a Lee mold and tests both projectiles from a Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol. The results highlight differences in penetration and impact, offering valuable insights for those interested in ammunition performance and DIY reloading.

This video demonstrates the operation of a Benelli M4 semi-automatic shotgun, featuring a practitioner's safe handling and rapid firing technique. The demonstration includes preparation with specific ammunition and a clear display of the loading process, followed by live fire at targets. The instructor exhibits excellent muzzle discipline and recoil management.

This video provides a first look at the Genesis Arms Gen-12 SBS shotgun, focusing on its unique magazine-fed design and performance. The presenter demonstrates zeroing the shotgun with slugs, discusses the advantages of magazine feeding over traditional tube-fed shotguns for reloads, and conducts basic accuracy and speed shooting drills. The review highlights the shotgun's controllability and potential for various applications.
