This guide details the 'push-pull' technique for semi-auto shotguns, developed by SYMTAC Consulting for law enforcement. It emphasizes a forward tension with the support hand just before firing to significantly reduce felt recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots and improved target tracking. The method contrasts with traditional techniques by actively managing recoil through the support hand.
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.
