Duration: 1:23

This video evaluates the evolution of the double-barrel shotgun, contrasting a classic Gearson Blue Label over/under with the Standard Manufacturing SSR. The SSR introduces dual magazine tubes and a unique mechanism allowing both barrels to fire simultaneously with a single trigger pull, creating significant recoil and a unique firing experience.

Quick Summary

The Standard Manufacturing SSR represents an evolution in double-barrel shotguns, featuring dual magazine tubes and a button that enables both barrels to fire simultaneously. This simultaneous firing creates a distinct 'odd double pop' sound and substantial recoil, amplified by heavier ammunition like slugs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Standard Manufacturing SSR differ from a classic double-barrel shotgun like the Gearson Blue Label?

The Standard Manufacturing SSR features dual magazine tubes and a mechanism to fire both barrels simultaneously with a single trigger pull, unlike classic double-barrel shotguns which typically fire sequentially and require manual reloading of each barrel.

What is the firing experience like with the Standard Manufacturing SSR when both barrels fire at once?

Firing both barrels simultaneously on the SSR creates a unique 'odd double pop' sound and generates significant recoil. This is due to launching twice the projectile mass at the same time, which is amplified by the type of ammunition used.

Does the type of ammunition affect the recoil of the Standard Manufacturing SSR?

Yes, the type of ammunition significantly impacts the recoil. Firing slugs simultaneously results in more recoil compared to firing birdshot rounds, as slugs are heavier and carry more mass downrange.

What is the advantage of the dual magazine tubes on the Standard Manufacturing SSR?

The dual magazine tubes on the Standard Manufacturing SSR allow for a higher capacity and faster reloading. A single pump action can load two rounds into both chambers, streamlining the process compared to manually loading each barrel individually.
