Frequently Asked Questions

How effective are shotguns in video games like Call of Duty?

Many video games, including Call of Duty and Warzone, inaccurately 'nerf' shotguns, making them seem ineffective beyond very close ranges. This content demonstrates that real-world shotguns, like the 12 Gauge, maintain significant lethality and accuracy at much greater distances.

What is the effective range of a 12 Gauge shotgun with buckshot?

This video shows a 12 Gauge shotgun with buckshot hitting targets effectively at 10, 20, 50, and even 100 yards. While spread increases with distance, the lethality remains substantial, far exceeding typical video game representations.

Are shotguns really only good for point-blank range?

No, the idea that shotguns are only effective at point-blank range is a common video game trope. Real-world tests demonstrate that a 12 Gauge shotgun, especially with buckshot, retains significant power and accuracy well beyond 50 yards.

Which video games portray shotgun ballistics more realistically?

For a more accurate depiction of shotgun effectiveness and ballistics in gaming, the speaker recommends titles such as Insurgency: Sandstorm and Ready or Not. These games tend to model firearm performance with greater fidelity than many mainstream shooters.
