$10K Vs Shotgun Slug *Slo Mo*

This video demonstrates firing a 2.5-ounce Seismic 12 gauge slug from a Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun, highlighting the extreme recoil. The presenter emphasizes the importance of a two-handed grip and proper stance to manage the powerful kick, noting the potential for the trigger guard to hit the finger. The sawtooth pattern on the shotgun is mentioned as a contributing factor to the perceived pain.

This guide breaks down the operational differences between popular semi-automatic shotgun action types, specifically the Mossberg 940 Pro SPX and the Beretta 1301 Tactical/Benelli M4 systems. It highlights how the Mossberg's action is more intuitive for those accustomed to rifles, automatically chambering rounds, while the Beretta/Benelli system utilizes a cartridge release lever offering specific tactical advantages like 'cruiser ready' storage. The video emphasizes that the 'smarter' system is subjective and depends on user training and application.

This video demonstrates the operational cycle of the Beretta 92FS, showcasing slide release, firing sequence in slow motion, and the slide lock mechanism when the magazine is empty. The instruction highlights safe firearm handling and effective recoil management, suitable for intermediate shooters looking to understand the mechanics of this classic pistol.

This guide details advanced techniques for the Beretta 1301 Tactical, focusing on recoil management, safe handling ('Cruiser Ready'), and precise aiming. It covers optimal setup for the Langdon Tactical (LTT) edition, including stock and forend modifications, and emphasizes understanding ammunition performance for effective use in home defense and tactical scenarios. Instruction is provided by renowned firearms instructor Ernest Langdon.

This video demonstrates a timed challenge comparing the speed of deploying rounds from a semi-automatic rifle (Sig Sauer M400 in 5.56) versus a semi-automatic shotgun (Beretta 1301 Tactical in 12 gauge). The focus is on the shooter's ability to fire all rounds as quickly as possible, starting from a low-ready position. The instructor highlights the impact of recoil and ammunition velocity on shooting speed, noting that faster shotgun loads can increase recoil and potentially affect reliability.

This guide, informed by an experienced firearms reviewer from Civilian Tactical, details common sources of firearm discomfort. It covers managing recoil on a 12-gauge lever-action shotgun, addressing sharp grip textures on the Beretta 1301 Tactical, and mitigating concussion from muzzle brakes on .50 BMG platforms like the Raptor 50. The advice emphasizes understanding the specific cause of discomfort for each firearm and considering appropriate solutions while always adhering to safety protocols.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
