Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Benelli Super 90 unique in its operation?

The Benelli Super 90 is unique due to its recoil-operated (or inertia-operated) system. This design allows it to reliably cycle a wide range of ammunition, from light birdshot to heavy magnum loads, without relying on gas pressure like many other semi-automatic shotguns.

How many rounds can the Benelli Super 90 hold?

The Benelli Super 90 discussed in the video has a notable capacity of nine rounds. This is achieved by loading seven rounds into the magazine tube and an additional two rounds into the receiver, demonstrating its substantial ammunition-carrying capability.

What are the presenter's thoughts on shotguns for home defense?

The presenter prefers handguns for home defense due to their concealability and maneuverability in tight spaces. Rifles are preferred for outside-the-home defense. Shotguns are considered too large for effectively clearing corners in a home environment.

What is the Remington 870 Express known for?

The Remington 870 Express is praised for its exceptionally smooth pump-action, proven reliability, and versatility. It features a 3-inch chamber and an improved cylinder bore, making it a solid choice for defensive applications and general use.
