Shotgun Cadence

This video demonstrates effective clay target engagement with a Remington 870, showcasing proper mounting and target transition techniques. The presenter, identified as experienced, utilizes a customized 870 with Magpul furniture and Walker's electronic ear protection on an outdoor range. The demonstration highlights consistent accuracy in hitting clay pigeons.

This guide details the operation of the M26 shotgun's reversible charging handle, folding bolt, and manual safety. It covers how to cycle the action, chamber rounds, and engage/disengage the safety. The video emphasizes the reversible nature of the charging handle for ambidextrous use and notes the folding bolt handle's convenience. Proper safety procedures are implicitly highlighted through the demonstration of manual controls.

This video demonstrates the 'ghost loading' technique for several popular pump-action shotguns. It confirms that the Benelli M4 and Remington 870 can be ghost loaded, increasing capacity by one round. However, the Mossberg 500/590 series, Ithaca Model 37, and Winchester 1200/1300 series are shown to be incompatible with this loading method due to design limitations.

This guide details two essential shotgun drills for home defense, as demonstrated by former CIA officer Jason Hanson. It covers transitioning from a low ready position to firing two rounds with emphasis on threat identification, and executing a combat reload using a side saddle. Regular practice is crucial for proficiency under stress.

World Champion Lena Miculek showcases an advanced technique for carrying and rapidly deploying 100 shotgun shells, demonstrating an improvised gear system using a dog collar and zip ties to secure multiple shell caddies. This method is designed for speed and continuous fire in competition scenarios, highlighting her expertise in shotgun handling and gear modification. The challenge emphasizes efficient reloading and rapid engagement of targets.

This video details a fun 'Multi-Gun Can Crush Challenge' hosted by Autumn and her family on their private cabin property. The challenge involves using various firearms and ammunition selected randomly via ChatGPT to destroy soda cans. The participants demonstrate safe firearm handling, including the proper use of PPE, and discuss specific ammunition characteristics like fragmentation. The video also features a giveaway for an AGM PVS-7 Night Vision unit and highlights Walker's electronic hearing protection.

This guide details a DIY technique for creating 'poor man's slugs' by cutting birdshot shotgun shells, a method historically used for defense and hunting during times of scarcity. The process involves carefully cutting the shell casing to create a projectile that functions similarly to a slug. The video demonstrates the technique on a Beretta 1301 tactical shotgun and discusses the importance of cut accuracy for flight stability and potential reliability issues in semi-automatic firearms.

This video demonstrates critical firearm safety failures, including poor muzzle awareness, lack of trigger discipline, and unsafe handling in a residential environment. The individual exhibits difficulty with basic firearm manipulation, culminating in a negligent discharge indoors. It serves as a stark warning against improper firearm handling and the importance of professional training.

This guide details the process of creating a DIY wax slug from standard birdshot, as demonstrated by the 'Collapse N Protect' channel. The modification involves melting wax and pouring it over the shot to create a cohesive projectile. The video highlights the increased effectiveness of this DIY slug compared to traditional birdshot, particularly in its ability to concentrate energy on the target, as evidenced by its success in shattering a cinder block. The creator also humorously notes the potential for using scented wax to alter the range's odor.

This video from Collapse N Protect, featuring an instructor with high authority, experimentally tests whether 12-gauge shotgun shells mounted on a plate carrier will explode when shot. The tests, using birdshot, buckshot, and Dragon's Breath rounds, demonstrate that while shells can be breached and their contents spilled, they do not detonate or explode without primer ignition and the compression force typically provided by a firearm's barrel. The explanation highlights the essential components and conditions required for a shell to fire.
