Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Seismic 2.5oz saboted slugs so painful to shoot?

The extreme pain comes from the sheer mass of the projectile (2.5 ounces) combined with its velocity, resulting in immense recoil. This force can cause the trigger guard to bash into the shooter's knuckle and the shotgun's aggressive forend texture to leave imprints on the palm.

What firearm was used to test the Seismic 2.5oz slugs?

The video features the Beretta 1301 Tactical, a semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun. The host notes its aggressive sawtooth pattern on the forend grip, which contributes to the felt recoil experience.

What are the specifications of the Seismic 2.5oz saboted slugs?

The Seismic 2.5oz saboted slugs are described as subsonic, 12-gauge, 2 3/4 inch shells with a velocity of 1050 FPS. Their substantial weight is the primary factor in their extreme recoil.
