Standard Manufacturing SKO Shorty - SHOT Show 2018 Day 2

This video provides a breakdown of the Orthos Joker, a piston-driven, magazine-fed, semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun featuring AR-style controls. The presenter highlights the ambi safety, mag release, and bolt catch, noting the bolt catch's unique hold-open feature. The shotgun is shown with an Eotech optic and YHM Victor 12 silencer, though these are aftermarket additions.

The Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol in 20 gauge is evaluated as a viable alternative to its 12 gauge counterpart, offering reduced recoil and lighter weight while maintaining tactical features. It requires a break-in period of approximately 150 shells to achieve optimal reliability, particularly with birdshot and slugs. The shotgun is deemed a good value for its price point, especially for shooters sensitive to 12 gauge recoil.

This video provides an in-depth review of the Mossberg 990 Aftershock 12 gauge shotgun, focusing on its performance after adding aftermarket accessories like a GG&G handguard and EOTech optic. The presenter highlights the firearm's semi-automatic operation, 5+1 capacity, and surprisingly manageable recoil with heavy loads. Reliability is noted as excellent, with no malfunctions experienced except when attempting to use mini shells. The video also addresses common misconceptions about aiming shotguns with optics.

This video provides an overview of new firearms and features showcased at the European Outdoor Show (EOS) 2026. It highlights new pistol offerings from Tanfoglio, including optic-ready models with adjustable sights and high-capacity magazines. FN introduces the European-exclusive FN Hyper striker-fired pistol, emphasizing safety and ergonomics. Benelli presents the limited edition Lupo Alpha bolt-action rifle and the Super Sport shotgun with advanced recoil reduction technology. The video also covers the modular 3FP pistol series, which offers interchangeable frames and compatibility with Glock parts, and the HK 243 civilian-legal G36 variant.

This video features a "woodswalk" with the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol shotgun, emphasizing its readiness for "combat" by testing it against simulated threats. The reviewer finds it very similar to the 1301 model and enjoys its performance, noting its suitability for various applications including potential home defense scenarios. The shotgun is highlighted as a very nice 12 gauge option.

This video reviews the Mossberg Aftershock, a semi-automatic 12-gauge firearm classified as 'other' due to its bird's head grip and barrel length. The reviewer compares its performance, particularly recoil, to the pump-action Mossberg Shockwave, highlighting the Aftershock's softer shooting characteristics. It also tests various ammunition types to assess cycling reliability and felt recoil, concluding it's a fun and effective firearm despite limitations with certain low-power loads.

This video features a critique of a home defense AR-15 build by former Navy SEAL Jeff Gonzales. Key takeaways include the importance of a suppressor for indoor use, the critique of an overly complex sling, and recommendations for reliable optics. The discussion highlights the trade-offs of short-barreled rifles (SBRs) for home defense and emphasizes practical gear selection over complexity.

This guide details the tool-less field stripping process for the Beretta ARX-160, as demonstrated by a Beretta factory representative.
