Navy SEAL Reviews Shotgun Ammo | Tactical Rifleman

This review of the American Tactical Model B3 triple barrel shotgun highlights its value proposition compared to competitors like the Charles Daly Honcho Triple Threat. The expert reviewer demonstrates its physical features, including walnut furniture and three 18.5-inch barrels with a fixed firing order. Practical demonstrations cover disassembly, firing sequence, and extensive ammunition testing with various loads, including buckshot and slugs, while discussing choke selection.

This review compares the Mossberg 590A1 Military Grade Variant and 'The Jack Rabbit' compact shotgun for home defense. While 'The Jack' is a favored personal firearm, the 590A1's larger capacity makes it the preferred choice for home defense, with 'The Jack' being a viable option for travel.

This review highlights the Mossberg 590A1, specifically the military police variant, as a potentially last-ever shotgun purchase. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise, emphasizes its robust construction, including a heavier barrel and metal trigger guard. The shotgun's exceptional durability is underscored by its successful completion of the US military torture test, enduring 3000 rounds of buckshot without failure, positioning it as a top-tier duty firearm.

This review of the Taurus Judge revolver, presented by Ben Wah of Tactical Fellowship, highlights its unique dual-caliber capability (.45 Colt and .410 shotshell) and its historical context. The video explores its effectiveness for home defense, particularly with .410 buckshot, and discusses its performance characteristics, including trigger pull and accuracy trade-offs. It also touches on potential criticisms and aftermarket accessories like the Midwest Industries brace.

This review of the Hi-Point P995 carbine assesses its viability for self-defense and general use. Despite its budget price point of $285, the P995 demonstrates surprising reliability, even after submersion in mud, and offers notable accuracy potential up to 200 yards. The review highlights its features, including a threaded barrel and accessory rails, while also addressing common criticisms like limited capacity and an anti-left-handed design.

Elliott Delp, an experienced firearms instructor, highlights the Mossberg Maverick 88 as a top-tier shotgun option under $500. He emphasizes its reliability, affordability, and compatibility with the Mossberg 500 series, making it a practical choice for various applications.

In close-quarters combat, drawing a pistol can be dangerous as an opponent can easily grab the firearm. A tactical knife offers a safer alternative, allowing the user to create space by targeting vital areas like the carotid artery or kidneys. This space allows for a safe transition back to a firearm. The video demonstrates this strategy using a Glock pistol and a fixed-blade knife.

This video details crucial footwork techniques for Navy SEALs during Close Quarters Combat (CQC). It emphasizes 'economy of motion' and the 'long step' technique for balanced entry into corner-fed rooms, ensuring immediate engagement capability. Proper footwork prevents exposing vulnerable side plates and maintains a stable shooting platform.

This video demonstrates a clever modification of standard military cloth bandoliers to increase their magazine capacity. By releasing a hidden white string, the pockets expand, allowing them to hold one or even two 5.56mm magazines each. Special Forces operators pack these expanded bandoliers with other essentials for rapid emergency resupply in the field.

This ballistic gel test compares 9mm Barnes TAC-XPD and .45 ACP Cor-Bon Pow'RBall. The 9mm achieved deeper penetration (13-14 inches) with consistent expansion, while the .45 ACP created a larger wound cavity and significant energy transfer but slightly less penetration. The Cor-Bon Pow'RBall's design enhances feeding reliability in 1911 platforms.
