Which shotgun was determined to be the fastest?

The Genesis Arms Gen 12 achieved the fastest time in the speed shooting competition, recording a time of 0.92 seconds for five shots. This race gun features a ported barrel and compensator designed for speed.

What is 'trigger freeze' in shooting?

Trigger freeze occurs when a shooter pulls the trigger faster than the firearm can cycle or reset. This can happen when attempting extremely rapid fire, especially with certain types of firearms, and results in a delay or missed shots.

Are gas-operated shotguns faster than inertia-driven ones?

Generally, gas-operated shotguns tend to run faster than inertia-driven shotguns. This is because gas systems are less reliant on the shooter's technique for cycling, allowing for quicker follow-up shots.
