I like their way of thinking of not wanting to lock you into an ecosystem. Not only did they design it to take off the shelf projectiles, like paintballs, but they also made their projectiles' plans free to print on their website.
I really like how transparent this guy is about development, testing, reliability, durability and so on. It’s damn refreshing. James you really need a kit to T&E.
I was gonna say that as well. It's really cool that he's not doing business speech trying to sell it. Says it like it is, and I respect the shit out of that.
Traditional Paintballs are .02 to .05 USD each unless you are buying the foster slug shaped projectiles, those are .50 a pop. This also makes it compatible with Pepperballs and lots of other crowd control, deterrence, and some less-lethal options already on the market. Very cool product!
I heard him say 50 cents each and I was confused. I notice he didnt mention much about the hulls, I have a feeling that they are more expensive than you would imagine.
@@JohnDBlochhe did mention a price. He said trying to keep it under $600 US/kit which includes 20 hulls and a charger. I could see it paying off in the long run but that is a steep entry point.
Thanks James for covering this. The thing people need to realize is that Canada is a really really really restrictive and extremely expensive country when it comes to anything gun related so while $600 in America might be expensive it’s not that bad for Canada.
This system's distinctly reminiscent of the APS CAM870 system in airsoft - pre-charged shells capable of using .68cal paintball/rubber projectiles or (more often) BB buckshot loads backed by a wad and held with an overshot card, although those shells're powered by CO2. Cool to see the concept being expanded upon, I can see them being useful for pump shotgun training if one cannot get themselves to a proper range (or just feel like shooting some stuff at home)
I like the idea of reloadable shells to use for realistic training with visual and audible feedback. I don't feel comfortable using this to practice force-on-force training when live ammo can still be loaded into the shotgun with no modifications. Maybe have a separate product for force-on-force training.
At 1:04 he mentions that they will have a sub-gauge polymer barrel (or maybe an insert) for Simunitions. So that could possibly be used to build a dedicated FoF gun.
I'm from Canada and I saw them at the Canadian version (TACOM) of SHOT SHOW about 4 years ago. Back then they were pre order only. Their product is in stock now so I think I'll get the starter kit. I might be able to use a flare gun to shoot these.
@@fugg3543 Birdshot in the US is about 40c a round (prolly less on sale), and about 26c a round for 9mm. 5.56 is about 44-50cpr. (Prices vary, not counting LGS ripoffs or unicorn deals)
I love the fact that i can turn my lethal weapon into a training/less lethal weapon. Especially with the atf saying civilians shouldnt/cant have simunition
I guarantee you aren't supplying enough energy from one of these to cycle a 1 lb bolt and compress the action spring of any semi-auto. Gas operated relies on a lot of overpressure acting on a piston through a gas port sized for a specific amount/ pressure of gas (semi-specific, there's a range, but it doesn't include paintball pressures). Recoil/ inertia operated shotguns rely on the recoil energy of the shot, of which, there will be almost 0 with one of these, so again, no.
I would like this for in home, 'hallway distance' home defense practice. I have a 21' hallway with a linen closet at the end. I have 1/6th silhouette targets. It lets me practice anytime with Airsoft replicas of my carry guns. This would be a great option for my HD pumps.
I love innovation in this area, and want all the smart people working on force on force solutions that we can get. That said, you can buy a damn good Airsoft gun for $600 and the ammo is cheaper. Not quite sure what the market for this set up is
Needs a fill device that can load 10 or 20 at a time, to make it practical for an entire team to load up prior to force on force training. Make it so I can get 8-10 people minimum ready to go with 10 minutes of setup time for each round, using a single fill station. $600 / person entry cost isn't nearly as attractive as say, a sub $100/ person startup cost for a team. Obviously everyone needs their own conversion barrel, shells, and projectiles, and I don't know how much of the cost is in those items.
@@XDWXI owned air soft guns when I was a kid and couldn’t own guns. Now, I’m an adult. I’d rather use this than buy an air soft shotgun. Edit: saw it was $600. I take it back. I’ll just go to the range lol
Could you James, do a video on the difference between America, Canada, united Kingdom, France, German, Italy, or other European Shooting Countries, plus both Australia and New Zealand too. Over the different countries, greatly varying Fire Arms Rules, Regulations? Because in the UK the Government is carrying out a Public review and consultation too, at looking to class Crossbows and Long Bows licensing equal to Shotguns and Rifles licensing, to stop Cross Bows being used or involved in crimes? I know this is politically sensitive in the USA, especially between different US State’s administrations, in European it seems just as bad or getting worse too.
My $150 jag arms scattergun can put 3 bbs into someone at 40ish feet, costs pennies per shot. Not as fun as ejecting shells af the shells are little magazines but otherwise works like a pump
Devil's Advocate here, what steps are taken to keep a user from accidently loading a live powder cartridge? Is there a chamber sleeve to prevent accidental loading of standard sized shotgun shells for additional safety? I can see this as a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Idk if you would win "I didn't triple check my own gun, for dummy vs live rounds both of which I bought with understanding, before training in the house" unless you're Alec Baldwin
They're not selling shotguns or barrels, they are selling shotgun shells that are air pressure loaded, and you can place plastic or painball projectiles in. It's like a miniature self-contained airgun in a shell. They load in any (12ga as of now) shotgun like a normal shell. If you mix up your live vs. training shells, that's on the you the user, not on the manufacturer and seller of training shotgun shells.
I think y’all are confused. I’m not advocating for what I stated. I’m saying unless this is idiot proof, someone will shoot their buddy and try to take them to court.
Thanks for bringing up these points! ReShell is intended as a target training tool, and we strongly advocate using it only in this capacity unless paired with a dedicated ReShell insert. Even with the 40mm adapter, we emphasize the importance of discretion and strict safety practices. Safety is our top priority, and we appreciate your input in reinforcing this message.
I think it's really cool, but the combination of $600 and leap of using a real gun when screwing around with my buddies is just too much. I have a background in industrial safety and "trust me bro, I'll only load these rounds in the gun I'm pointing at you" would be unacceptable at any workplace. Now, if that $600 included a barrel that wouldn't allow birdshot to be fired? Maybe. Could also do something similar to what Tazer did with their shotgun. As it stands though an insurance company would never cover a range that allowed this in a force on force exercise.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! While ReShell can function in an unmodified shotgun, we don’t recommend it for force-on-force training without a dedicated ReShell insert. We understand the safety concerns and appreciate your input-it’s a priority for us too. PS, The entry level 12 ga kit is a few hundred dollars, and compatible with the 40mm ReShell adapter.
50 cents a shot for fake ammo lol ill just buy a brand new round of 5.56 instead of dicking around with all this or like 100 airsoft pellets to terrorize some cardboard boxes in my living room.
Actually, I was a bit off with my numbers earlier-I was referring to a shaped projectile called First Strike. Standard round paintballs are also compatible and much more affordable. By supporting both paintballs and 3D-printed options, we aimed to give users more flexible, cost-effective choices for shotgun training. ReShell also works with a 40mm adapter, adding to its versatility. We currently offer an entry-level kit priced at a few hundred dollars, providing a more accessible option alongside our advanced 20-cartridge kit.
No way this is cheap than just shooting your shotgun in Canada. It’s a good idea but I disagree with the notion of using it to shoot your friends, polymer barrel or not. That’s never a good idea. Also, snap caps exist for all calibers. That’s a better option than this.
I like their way of thinking of not wanting to lock you into an ecosystem. Not only did they design it to take off the shelf projectiles, like paintballs, but they also made their projectiles' plans free to print on their website.
Let's hope the market rewards their integrity.
Kind of feel like he was so shy on bringing up cost that he buried that lead a bit.

Trying to sell it in the US might be an iceboxes to Eskimos sales situation.
Any simunition type product is good to see. We need more affordable ways to train force on force.
ye, but there are cheaper products that are basically the same already....

Very awesome product. This is something I will definitely look into especially since it seems like a down to earth little company

Genuinely interesting product.
Yea airsoft has definately been the go to training for me since i started shooting
I love the fact that i can turn my lethal weapon into a training/less lethal weapon. Especially with the atf saying civilians shouldnt/cant have simunition
This is dope, I like the potential for training and for powderless 37mm stuff.
Seems really well thought out. Entry point is a bit beyond my price point but I get it.
I almost screamed and yelled in absolute joy when I heard " WE ARE FROM CANADA!" THANK YOU! LETS GO! This is awesome. So good to see innovation.
I missed if these would actually cycle a semi, or pumps only
There is not a chance this would cycle a semi.
@Bursar60 are you joking? I hope so.
@Jon-ki2px I assumed not. but they said they crank it to almost 1000 psi, so fk me maybe hence asking
@@Bursar60 That's about 1/10th of the chamber pressure of a standard shell, so likely way below what any semi would need.

so, would these cycle in the Genesis 12?
doubtful, but james has another video on a new less lethal model genesis is working on that can cycle bean bags, maybe in that one.
