I’ll tell you this from my experience we took a double barrel shotgun and cut it down to about 10 inches and me as a brainiac I put 2 3inch mags in it and when I pulled both triggers let’s just say that was a bad idea Because I ended up with three or four screws in my wrist, and I had to have a long rod on the outside of my arm that had to be tightened down At least 3×4 times a month that sucked so hopefully nobody gets any dumb ideas on here to try this. That’s not a good idea. Single shots fine double barrel bad idea.
Sawed offs became popular because they were easier to conceal. If you were going to be in an area where you needed a lot of firepower, you would be in close enough range for the sawed off barrel to be effective.
People in Canada are using pipe shotguns literally a tube with 1 shotgun shell in it and u smack it down pointing at someone then run off, literally just a tube easy to conceal
I thought sawed off shotguns were for wearing 3 on a brace on your right hip, 2 on the back of your shoulders, 2 across your chest, 2 on a left and right thigh holster before switching to the machete on your left hip.
I think the myth behind the sawed off having more power is that you always see them being used at literal point blank range in films and games so they’re obviously going to look more devastating
Also the ones seen in the video are double barrel, and I’m not a gun expert but I think a lot of double barrels can fire both rounds either at the same time or in quick succession, essentially doubling the power.
Good point, and yes you can fire both barrels at once if the shotgun has two separate triggers, although done one handed movie style I see this being something your wrist may never recover from 😂
Longer barrel will always give you a tighter group and better velocity meaning more "power", to a certain extent. Edit : Of course I know SBS are 100x cooler I was simply sharing my thoughts
A Ket-tec KSG is /absolutely the wrong shotgun for sporting clays/. 18.1" barrel, no built in choke capacity. But that's what I had. Put an EOtech on it because, holographically, that reticle was 25 yards out in space on the end of a virtual barrel. And I had to shoot fast, because the shot spread /fast/. But all the mass was between my support hand and my shoulder, so it swung fast. I thought I would need a lot of practice, but after the second round, I was pulling 24/25 out of the air consistently. The rules don't mention optics, because what idiot puts an optic on a sporting clays shotgun, but I tell you what: EOtechs are straight up cheating.

I think the point of the sawed-off shotgun in movies is to be more powerful than a handgun while still being compact. Which it sure would be. Also, shortening the weapon makes it easier to conceal and carry. Think Kyle Reece in the Terminator. Also, in close quarters combat, a shorter weapon would be easier to handle, move around and aim. Still, people wouldn't fly back like they do in the movies. Mythbusters did an entire episode on this.
I never understood how anyone would think a bullet can make a person fly back. The mass of a pencil tip hitting the mass of a human. If it is moving fast enough to produce the energy it is going to go straight through. Now a 2000 grain round hitting a plate carrier at 2000+ fps might take you for a ride lol.
Exactly. If the round hitting someone had enough force to propel someone through the air, physics would dictate the same force equal to the person firing the gun. If the bullet makes the target fly, the shooter would fly with equal force upon discharge.
Mythbusters also showed clips from older movies, particularly Black & White movies you'll see guys who got shot dead just literally drop dead where they stood. They weren't sent flying backwards by 10 feet. They even brought up Newton's 3rd Law of Physics. _For every action (force) in nature, there's an equal and opposite reaction._ In other words; when the person getting shot gets sent flying from the force of a gunshot, so will the shooter.
I think another important note to the origin of this is is how video games handle balance. A sawn-off is gonna be less accurate and have the player push closer, but will deal extreme damage as a trade-off. Higher risk higher reward.
@@vincedibona4687 each pellet has less travel through the barrel which can cause bigger impact and damage. Also the some gunpowder used to eject the pellets can fly out the end, causing some type of dragons breath or just sparks.
That is on the verge of being so close to kinda right. A shorter barrel would lead to having to close the gap and minimize lost speed but the actual damage difference would be nearly negligible@@Shadow_bru
Scott, at the end, discovered the most reliable adage of every practical special effects artist of the 70s and 80s about how to get a great head explosion. Just shoot a model head with a shotgun. Will reliably explode better than anything else you do. Notable examples: Dawn of the Dead 1978? Shotgun. Maniac 1980? Shotgun. Scanners? Shotgun.
Ever since I was young, I was told the sawed off is only to get a bigger spread at close range. That's why the coachman riding "shotgun" usually had a sawed off for when any bandits tried to actually board the coach, while in motion, it gave them more chance of hitting them and then they carried Colt revolvers for backup.
@@techmetal2964 this, if you notice lots of naval weapon versions have shorter barrels and stocks because nobody wants to carry a full size m1 garand in a ship
better spread at danger close a longer barrel the pellets stay together in a smaller group until they go a good ways if you're on a coach they're within 5ft you want that spread to start as soon as they leave the barrels
@@syllycatfacethe mental image of the full-size garand at sea is Hilarious cuz at least one person is getting clotheslined by their own rifle and a doorframe 😂
One needs to adapt to the enviroment. :D Full sized weapons are more powerful then their shortened versions , but they also are more cumbersome (On a ship I would assume its more about the fact that a shorter weapon is much better to handle in enclosed spaces (as it would be kinda annoying to have the barrel get stuck on a wall or pipe or something) then the weight :D
Growing up in the 70s, my friend's dad was a Civil War Reenactor and Collector, he had an original Walker 44, and was a wealth of knowledge. One day he heard us talking about a movie where the stunt man went flying backwards and explained how they did it, and said in real life it would never happen, because anything that powerful would send you flying backwards too, so since I was about 10 (50 years ago) I have laughed every time I saw that happen.
My father said the same thing... the good old "every action has an equal and opposite re-action". If they're going flying, you're going flying from that recoil!
Exactly - it's the same principle with "rail guns" that so many SF writers seem to be hung up on - the energy released when the projectile hits has to be applied to the projectile when it's fired and, not only doesn that mean a huge power source, but the conservation of momentum/Newton's Third Law of Motion means the recoil also has to balance the energy release. Same thing with the BS about military orbitally launched impactors - while they can provide a lot of energy in a small area, they need to be given at least as much energy during the launch and, in practice, the true balance will be closer to 100 times (depending on lifter efficiencies) as much energy used to lift them into orbit as will be released in a ground strike. Now, if one were to redirect something like an asteroid it will have a much longer fall into Earth's gravity well, and so apply a LOT more damage for a relatively small energy transfer to steer the body in the required direction.
Everyone forgets you have to factor the "cool" power multiplier in when using a sawn off shotgun. A Sawn off shotgun when used correctly recieves a X5 power multiplier due to the distinct level of cool it oozes.
If Scott is so cold, wear a heavier winter coat. That flannel ain't gonna do nothing. Also, get a winter hat, my God the man has no hair. Then put some gloves on!
I'm sure 1980s cinema and video games would NEVER lie to me! That zombie torso is totally gonna get Thanos-snapped, and you won't even have to reload after a billion shots in an epic slow-mo montage
I think the main appeal of the sawn-off shotgun is that it _will_ hit a few pellets at a distance, which is more than enough if you're hunting a duck, but it's also so much easier to handle and maneuver at closer distances than a regular shotty, not to mention it's way easier to carry and conceal. It gets the job done and it's very compact.
I'd like to see the difference, if any, between the damage done with contact shots. Longer barrels would give the gas more space to burn out and slow down expanding, shorter barrels would still have a lot of burn and expansion to go. A short barrel contact shot might blow apart a target more with the blast of gases despite a lower projectile velocity.
At 11:01 it is possible to see that the 9th pellet missed just beside the zombie's left arm, playing at 0,25x speed helps to see it. This is normal with buckshot that has 9 pellets in it. Reason is that the first two pellets in the shell are a pair and the 3rd & 4th pellet form a similar pair but at a 90 degree different rotation and this symmetrical pattern continues until the 8th pellet... put a ninth one and it breaks the pattern. That makes the 9th pellet to shoot off from the main group.
I have 00 9-shot Fiochi shells that are transparent. They are stacked 3x3x3. What manufacturer is stacking 2x2x2x2x1? I also have winchester sxz shells that are also 3x3x3. I can’t think of a realistic reason that an ammo manufacturer wouldn’t add a 2nd pellet and just make it 10.
Didn't know the Snowed Warrior would make an appearance but it's nice to see again Side note: if you have any reactive paper targets you could use those cover up stickers so you know which holes are new
I have a 12 gauge version of the Super Goose, except mine is a Coast to Coast. I absolutely love my bolt action shotty. It's also vintage, from about 1957 or so. Still a good shotgun.
I had one a long time ago... till I went to gunsmithing school and was told specifically to never work on a bolt action shotgun because they are all ticking time bombs and you don't want to be held liable so it's literally a rule in our handbook we aren't even allowed to work on them for legal reasons , after learning that I'll never fire another bolt action shotgun ever again... The bolts are prone to flying out the rear and coming to rest about 4 inches into your eyesocket
I love my Super Goose 10, it’s not practical for anything except turkey hunting from a very big blind. It once was the king of the cornfield in the (pre-steel) lead waterfowl world but it’s hard to justify lugging it to a hunt when I have a 3.5” 12 ga semi auto. It makes me happy when you feature it in your videos. I thought I was the only Super Goose 10 enthusiasts. Great videos, keep em coming :)
A full-size shotgun will almost always be more effective for its design. BUT - you can hide a sawed-off with a birds-eye handle under most car seats. You can barely hide a full-size in the back seat of a car. So they each have their perks. 😃
Hey Scott, great content as always! From what I've been reading lately it seems as though much like a rifle, with shotguns barrel length has almost nothing to do with spread and is almost entirely controlled by the choke, barrel length only adds velocity and balance for swing through when hunting or shooting clays. In theory the sawed off should have more 'knock back power' due to the larger impact area as you mentioned, as long as its energy was high enough from the lower velocity, it would have been cool to see if that effect was intensified with something like #8 birdshot to evenly spread the impact energy even more. Could be a fun video idea to rig something to test knock back power over penetration and maybe even include some different chokes for 12g? This could also be a fun comparison for the elephant guns. Keep up the amazing videos!

Didn't your Drill Sergeant tell you about nylon hose under your BDU pants on long road marches? There's no shame in gloves to protect them mitts. It's a no-go to get frostbite.
Hey Scott, pro tip from a person who lives in a colder climate: we have some pretty effective protective gear known as "gloves" and "scarves". If you look it up online, I'm pretty sure you can find some that will keep you warm without getting in the way of shooting, either guns or videos. You're welcome.
Then again, this is the same guy who survived a pipe-bomb nearly blowing his head off. Perhaps he's just made of tougher stuff. A few years ago, he might have bothered with such trivialities as gloves and scarves.
a scarf? ive lived in the colorado Rockies above 6000' for 30 years and I can honestly say I've never worn a scarf, not once... I guess I always get away with a proper thick heavy winter jacket, hood up, and a full beard. once your beard ices up it completely blocks the wind.

With regards to the original DOOM 2: When using the Shotgun, the pellets don't spread vertically, just horizontally, and each shell only fires 7 pellets, so you can snipe a bit with that. When using the Super Shotgun, vertical spread is applied to each pellet, but you also shoot 20 pellets, so getting up close is the best action to take.
@@justindearmond1 I believe the level where they first introduce the mancubus. Level 6 or 7. Also, I'm not over forty. I was raised by my dad playing DOOM, Castle Wolfenstein, and Duke Nukem.
9:44 There are ways around that. Modernized grips, improved sights, stuff like that. Pistol-style sights instead of a bead would be a good start. Overall best "shorty" type of shotgun, if we're sticking with conventional/traditional designs, would be a SWAT-style entry gun. 21:09 Depends on whether or not you need the advantages of compactness. See also folding/collapsible stocks versus fixed stocks.
The Mr Buddy heater you have there are great, I use mine in my open shop/garage, with a hose you can hook it to a standard #25 propane tank for long lasting heating
I think the sawed off is better in close quarters A shorter barrel makes it easier to move around in tight/close spaces(such as your home) while a longer barrel would be more difficult The spread in close quarters while still being accurate enough for all the pellets to hit they would spread out just enough to hit more of whatever your shooting at(theoretically) It looks cooler than a full size let's be honest that's a win
Going with a shoulder stock is gonna help you hit so much, the pistol grip sawed off is a last resort only if you can't fit anything else IMO... and be careful with the spread of those pellets 😁
@@mattigator600 With a short barrel, there's less recoil, and a full stock can critically compromise it's manueverability use in close quarters while offering little benefit because it further restricts it's use. Another advantage of the shorter barrel is there is less chance of a shot penetrating the walls/doors, to injure people in the next room.
If you watch army of darkness, after the main character pulls the trigger, they show other parts of the scene and have reloading sounds in the background before getting back to the main character.
Is it weird, I like watching these videos more for scott's jokes and enthusiasm then the actual gun stuff (which is nice too) ..you can't find this kind of humor in regular comedians anymore. "A little more open minded" nearly had me on the floor, genius. Thanks again.
I really like that Super Goose. I also think it's hilarious that when Scott lowers it after shooting the barrel is so long it almost touches the ground
Once upon a time, my old man had one a dbl barrel 12ga that was a total of 18in long(allegedly).Needless to say, when we found it, we used it as a test of our manhood(ages 13-16) by seeing who could shoot both barrels one-handed. The pistol grip broke after 100+ attempts and almost ripped a guy's tumb off. That gun along with many others got stolen when we went to Illinois for Christmas.
Pistol grip? What kind of double barreled shotgun has a pistol grip? A KSG? If its what I'm thinking it is, first, no wonder it broke, second, y'all got some MANHOOD
I think you should have loaded both barrels and pulled the trigger on the double barrels so you get both barrels at once because a lot of people in home defense situations and other scenarios don't really think about it and tend to do that
I was thinking this as well. Also, I think that with a person standing, there would be enough force to knock them back and or to the ground, but not very far away or through a wall. Unless the person happened to fall backwards through drywall or something
@@anthonyboatman9328 "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Or simply put, for a gun to be able to throw a person, the person doing the shooting would then receive an equal amount of force DIRECTLY TO THEIR SHOULDER. We're talking broken bones levels of force here. Now, pushing someone off-balance, sure, that can happen, considering it also happens to Scott with some rifles/shotguns. But a good enough shove to displace the target? Not happening unless the target's a 3 foot tall dwarf, and it's the sort of kick that makes Scott take a few steps back to stay balanced.
It's amazing how little people understand the basic Fondations of phyisc man. The only time you can have less felt recoil then a round produces is with a muzzle brake@dannygraves4997
@@static_bolt I in turn find it amazing how hard comprehensive reading is to some... Unless I'm completely misreading the intent of what you're saying, which is always an option.
Scott, when the weather is cold you could wear at least one glove, on your non-dominant hand. I was a police officer for many years in a cold climate and I didn't wear a glove on my shooting hand, but I did on my other hand. One warm hand is better than no warm hands. Just a thought. Oh yeah, and long underwear really helps keep your core warm too. p.s. great video, as always.
I was waiting all through the video to see the zombie head get Super Goosed. Scott never disappoints! In cowboy action shooting, a lot of people use really short cylinder bore shotguns. I use a full length shotgun with full chokes. Those short shotguns can have some issues with knocking down targets at times. My long barrel with full chokes hits them like a freight train.
With a sawn off, try choking the barrels at the end. It takes some work (milling and tapping), but your pattern will carry a lot tighter. That's how I've done it, and it works!!
I think that the reason people have sawen off shotguns is for the power in a smaller package but a long barreled shotgun, just like any other kind of gun,will always be more powerful due to the greater velocity that the extra barrel length gives.
Always the best consistently putting some interesting videos, and to notice how much you personally and your channel has grown is absolutely incredible man, massive amounts of kudos and appreciation towards ya, I remember when you would upload short really short vids. I appreciate it tons🤙🏽😁
I never thought about shotgun barrel length until I shot my Judge 410 revolver with a 2 inch barrel into a dirt bank. The pattern was about 15 feet wide at 20 feet away. It surprised me he had as many pellets as he did. Funny thing about the cold. 2 weeks ago it was 25 below zero at my house for several days. Then it warmed up to 20 above and I went and worked outside feeling "warm" enough to work without gloves.
Your Judge also has a .45 caliber rifled barrel. The rifling is probably spinning the shot cup and therefore the shot. So, the centrifugal force is making the shot spread even more than it would naturally.
@@tt600pch I would say it certainly does. All pistols have shorter barrels, but they still have rifling. Also there are rifled choke tubes that are made for shooting slugs, and choke tubes are really short. Anyway, Paul Harrel has done videos where he tested rifled choke tubes and found they did in fact make a difference with sabot slugs. So, yeah, it should make a difference. You gotta remember the shot cup is moving pretty fast as it travels down that barrel. That's gonna make the spin the rifling imparts on it pretty fast. For shot loads that spins spreads the pattern. For slugs it tightens it, but it requires more spin to stabilize a slug than it does to spread because there are different forces at work. It's centrifugal force that spreads shot whereas it's a physics phenomenon called precession that stabilizes bullets. Anyway, if you watched this video, even though he did get some additional spread from the shorter barrels, he certainly didn't get the amount you did. The rifling in your barrel made a difference.
I would be interested to see how #4 buckshot performs. Of course the close range is best for the sawed-off. And I think with a little distance the sawed-off could take out multiple targets standing close together, especially with more pellets.
The only question I have is: Can you get it with a bayonet lug? With a foot long blade on that thing you can stab the guy hiding in the next house if you run out of ammo!
@@andersjjensenevery gun should be capable of mounting a bayonet, Idgaf if it's a damn revolver, all guns must be bayonet compatible.. this should be enforced by the atf
@@achaean7615 I love the idea of a 6" barrelled 357 revolver with a 12" double edged bayonet on it. Both in mirror shine chrome with a tasteful amount of gold inlay engraving. That's a weapon you should, by law, only be allowed to discharge (or charge with) wearing a top hat and a monocle.
Sawn off might get you more wounding at short ranges as your spread will be larger (which might make it more likely that your target doesn't get back up, but then so would a properly aimed shot from a full length shotgun), but it's never going to be "more powerful" because less of the energy in the shell is being constrained by the barrel and using to accelerate the pellets.
With a 34" barrel on the Super Goose it's a yard closer to the target than the other guns. You should have added a yard to the distance it shot from, just to make up for that extra-length barrel.
I always thought the shirter the barrel, the wider the spread so im not too surprised. Sawed offs have a badass feel and look to them but i think a lot of that was also thanks to action flicks and video games. Still, this was an awesome video and I absolutely loved the Supergoose shot at the end.
Love the content Scott and thanks for braving the cold. I live in SD so cold is relative but I understand your pain and discomfort. ;-) I've never heard or thought it was implied /led to believe that they were more "powerful" than a standard long barreled shotgun. They are depicted as more concealable and easily carried, and more easily wielded effectively in close quarters, without sacrificing too much lethality, again in close quarters. These are "pop into a doorway and blast everything in the room with both barrels" gun, not a "20 yard one barrel at a time" gun.
I think the sawed off is the way to go in a house/close quarters. They do similar damage but imagine trying to swing a 3ft gun around in a hall not so great but a lil 1 ft sawed off would be more suitable. Everything is situational, Great video!
Before I watch the rest of the video and read comments I'm sure it was more down to easy concealment and close range power. Not to mention intimidation. So looking forward to the results 😊
The myth about the power comes from the old western movies, where some guys switched out their 6 shooter with a sawnoff and mowed the opponent away in duels.
@@logangodofcandy That isn't the reason... The old western colts aren't that precisely like modern ones. There are videos on YT. The Peacemaker with it's long barrel is as precisely as a modern stubby nose. There were many tolerances in production at that times... So shooting a shotgun with many small balls in it could have advantages. That is the reason he took 20 steps, then 10 steps than as close as possible... To show, that less distance is better, or use a longer barrel.

Sawed offs became popular because they were easier to conceal. If you were going to be in an area where you needed a lot of firepower, you would be in close enough range for the sawed off barrel to be effective.

Will reliably explode better than anything else you do. Notable examples: Dawn of the Dead 1978? Shotgun. Maniac 1980? Shotgun. Scanners? Shotgun.
you know they make these things called gloves, scott.

gloves is a feminine trait

Ever since I was young, I was told the sawed off is only to get a bigger spread at close range.
That's why the coachman riding "shotgun" usually had a sawed off for when any bandits tried to actually board the coach, while in motion, it gave them more chance of hitting them and then they carried Colt revolvers for backup.
Also likely easier to move around inside of the carriage
@@techmetal2964 this, if you notice lots of naval weapon versions have shorter barrels and stocks because nobody wants to carry a full size m1 garand in a ship
better spread at danger close a longer barrel the pellets stay together in a smaller group until they go a good ways if you're on a coach they're within 5ft you want that spread to start as soon as they leave the barrels
@@syllycatfacethe mental image of the full-size garand at sea is Hilarious cuz at least one person is getting clotheslined by their own rifle and a doorframe 😂
One needs to adapt to the enviroment. :D Full sized weapons are more powerful then their shortened versions , but they also are more cumbersome (On a ship I would assume its more about the fact that a shorter weapon is much better to handle in enclosed spaces (as it would be kinda annoying to have the barrel get stuck on a wall or pipe or something) then the weight :D
19:30 The comedic timing tho.. xD this video went from interesting to ridiculous and hilarious by the end.
The super goose 10 gauge was very impressive. And it's like you said, the sawed off looks cooler, but the 10 gauge is devastating
Super Goose 10 sounds like a bad, short lived but fondly remembered Saturday morning cartoon.

Growing up in the 70s, my friend's dad was a Civil War Reenactor and Collector, he had an original Walker 44, and was a wealth of knowledge. One day he heard us talking about a movie where the stunt man went flying backwards and explained how they did it, and said in real life it would never happen, because anything that powerful would send you flying backwards too, so since I was about 10 (50 years ago) I have laughed every time I saw that happen.
My father said the same thing... the good old "every action has an equal and opposite re-action". If they're going flying, you're going flying from that recoil!
My dad said if something was powerful enough to blow you back that far then it still wouldn't, it would just obliterate anything it hits.
That's just because our 80s action heroes were far too manly to be thrown by something as silly as recoil... or physics in general really.
Exactly - it's the same principle with "rail guns" that so many SF writers seem to be hung up on - the energy released when the projectile hits has to be applied to the projectile when it's fired and, not only doesn that mean a huge power source, but the conservation of momentum/Newton's Third Law of Motion means the recoil also has to balance the energy release.
Same thing with the BS about military orbitally launched impactors - while they can provide a lot of energy in a small area, they need to be given at least as much energy during the launch and, in practice, the true balance will be closer to 100 times (depending on lifter efficiencies) as much energy used to lift them into orbit as will be released in a ground strike.
Now, if one were to redirect something like an asteroid it will have a much longer fall into Earth's gravity well, and so apply a LOT more damage for a relatively small energy transfer to steer the body in the required direction.

Everyone forgets you have to factor the "cool" power multiplier in when using a sawn off shotgun. A Sawn off shotgun when used correctly recieves a X5 power multiplier due to the distinct level of cool it oozes.

I think the main appeal of the sawn-off shotgun is that it _will_ hit a few pellets at a distance, which is more than enough if you're hunting a duck, but it's also so much easier to handle and maneuver at closer distances than a regular shotty, not to mention it's way easier to carry and conceal. It gets the job done and it's very compact.
Thank you for taking that last shot EXACTLY how I was hoping you would!
I think the "Logic" at least in games, is that you use it point blank and fire both barrels at t he same time. Which is why it does "more damage".
Yeah was hoping to see both barrels firing not just singles
@@83cable that would pack a one heck of a punch, and i think that Scott's fingers wouldn't like that neither...
I'd like to see the difference, if any, between the damage done with contact shots. Longer barrels would give the gas more space to burn out and slow down expanding, shorter barrels would still have a lot of burn and expansion to go. A short barrel contact shot might blow apart a target more with the blast of gases despite a lower projectile velocity.
Ruined your 69 likes. Been doing that a lot today. Some lucky rng today
@@83cableSuper Shotgun :333
At 11:01 it is possible to see that the 9th pellet missed just beside the zombie's left arm, playing at 0,25x speed helps to see it. This is normal with buckshot that has 9 pellets in it. Reason is that the first two pellets in the shell are a pair and the 3rd & 4th pellet form a similar pair but at a 90 degree different rotation and this symmetrical pattern continues until the 8th pellet... put a ninth one and it breaks the pattern. That makes the 9th pellet to shoot off from the main group.
Cool fact!
I have 00 9-shot Fiochi shells that are transparent. They are stacked 3x3x3. What manufacturer is stacking 2x2x2x2x1?
I also have winchester sxz shells that are also 3x3x3.
I can’t think of a realistic reason that an ammo manufacturer wouldn’t add a 2nd pellet and just make it 10.
i feel targeted with him saying “toasty little fingers (it’s summer) sitting on the toilet”😂😂
Didn't know the Snowed Warrior would make an appearance but it's nice to see again

I have a 12 gauge version of the Super Goose, except mine is a Coast to Coast. I absolutely love my bolt action shotty. It's also vintage, from about 1957 or so. Still a good shotgun.
I had one a long time ago... till I went to gunsmithing school and was told specifically to never work on a bolt action shotgun because they are all ticking time bombs and you don't want to be held liable so it's literally a rule in our handbook we aren't even allowed to work on them for legal reasons , after learning that I'll never fire another bolt action shotgun ever again...
The bolts are prone to flying out the rear and coming to rest about 4 inches into your eyesocket
I love my Super Goose 10, it’s not practical for anything except turkey hunting from a very big blind. It once was the king of the cornfield in the (pre-steel) lead waterfowl world but it’s hard to justify lugging it to a hunt when I have a 3.5” 12 ga semi auto.
It makes me happy when you feature it in your videos. I thought I was the only Super Goose 10 enthusiasts.
Great videos, keep em coming :)
They taste so much better, and they’re a real challenge to hunt.
@karlwithak. Pheasants are much easier to hunt
I don’t know what kind of farm turkeys you hunt, but the turkeys around here have eyesight better than a hawk.
I believe that the legal trouble comes from the fact that you can hide them easier, not from the fact that theyre more powerfull
A full-size shotgun will almost always be more effective for its design.
BUT - you can hide a sawed-off with a birds-eye handle under most car seats. You can barely hide a full-size in the back seat of a car. So they each have their perks. 😃
You put a smile on my face everytime you upload a new video, even in toughest times. It is like all problems disappear for 20 minutes.
The Goose is full choke?
Hey Scott, great content as always! From what I've been reading lately it seems as though much like a rifle, with shotguns barrel length has almost nothing to do with spread and is almost entirely controlled by the choke, barrel length only adds velocity and balance for swing through when hunting or shooting clays. In theory the sawed off should have more 'knock back power' due to the larger impact area as you mentioned, as long as its energy was high enough from the lower velocity, it would have been cool to see if that effect was intensified with something like #8 birdshot to evenly spread the impact energy even more. Could be a fun video idea to rig something to test knock back power over penetration and maybe even include some different chokes for 12g? This could also be a fun comparison for the elephant guns. Keep up the amazing videos!
Love the videos, just got my PAL, live in Canada, can't wait to get started.

Hey Scott, pro tip from a person who lives in a colder climate: we have some pretty effective protective gear known as "gloves" and "scarves".
If you look it up online, I'm pretty sure you can find some that will keep you warm without getting in the way of shooting, either guns or videos.
You're welcome.

Ok im not the only who suggested this.. LOL
Then again, this is the same guy who survived a pipe-bomb nearly blowing his head off. Perhaps he's just made of tougher stuff. A few years ago, he might have bothered with such trivialities as gloves and scarves.
a scarf? ive lived in the colorado Rockies above 6000' for 30 years and I can honestly say I've never worn a scarf, not once... I guess I always get away with a proper thick heavy winter jacket, hood up, and a full beard. once your beard ices up it completely blocks the wind.
but gloves, boy you bet gloves up here! better be same damn good ones to, definitely buy quality.

With regards to the original DOOM 2:
When using the Shotgun, the pellets don't spread vertically, just horizontally, and each shell only fires 7 pellets, so you can snipe a bit with that.
When using the Super Shotgun, vertical spread is applied to each pellet, but you also shoot 20 pellets, so getting up close is the best action to take.

21:09 Depends on whether or not you need the advantages of compactness. See also folding/collapsible stocks versus fixed stocks.
Thanks for the comparison. Now I will have something to compare my Turkish 14" pump with chokes and raptor grip to.

I think the sawed off is better in close quarters
A shorter barrel makes it easier to move around in tight/close spaces(such as your home) while a longer barrel would be more difficult
The spread in close quarters while still being accurate enough for all the pellets to hit they would spread out just enough to hit more of whatever your shooting at(theoretically)
It looks cooler than a full size let's be honest that's a win
Going with a shoulder stock is gonna help you hit so much, the pistol grip sawed off is a last resort only if you can't fit anything else IMO... and be careful with the spread of those pellets 😁
@@mattigator600
With a short barrel, there's less recoil, and a full stock can critically compromise it's manueverability use in close quarters while offering little benefit because it further restricts it's use.
Another advantage of the shorter barrel is there is less chance of a shot penetrating the walls/doors, to injure people in the next room.
@@gordowg1wg145shorter barrel means more recoil
The double barelled shotgun have always been my favorites in video games.

I really like that Super Goose. I also think it's hilarious that when Scott lowers it after shooting the barrel is so long it almost touches the ground
😂😂I like that "Super Goose". My first happy experience with a shotgun was with a long barreled 12 gauge bolt action.
I have a Marlin Original Goose gun. 36in barrel, 12g. Bolt action. It's pretty cool.
Did basic training at Ft.Knox in winter many frozen fingys.
Burn barrels at the rifle ranges kept them mostly thawed!
Once upon a time, my old man had one a dbl barrel 12ga that was a total of 18in long(allegedly).Needless to say, when we found it, we used it as a test of our manhood(ages 13-16) by seeing who could shoot both barrels one-handed. The pistol grip broke after 100+ attempts and almost ripped a guy's tumb off. That gun along with many others got stolen when we went to Illinois for Christmas.
Pistol grip? What kind of double barreled shotgun has a pistol grip? A KSG?
If its what I'm thinking it is, first, no wonder it broke, second, y'all got some MANHOOD
@GM_Neo it was a 1980's biker club special from the stories I was told.
I think you should have loaded both barrels and pulled the trigger on the double barrels so you get both barrels at once because a lot of people in home defense situations and other scenarios don't really think about it and tend to do that
THANK YOU. Why he didn't do a two barrel shot is beyond me.
Maybe his poor widdle fingies were too cold. Lol
I was thinking this as well.
Also, I think that with a person standing, there would be enough force to knock them back and or to the ground, but not very far away or through a wall. Unless the person happened to fall backwards through drywall or something
@@anthonyboatman9328 "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
Or simply put, for a gun to be able to throw a person, the person doing the shooting would then receive an equal amount of force DIRECTLY TO THEIR SHOULDER.
We're talking broken bones levels of force here.
Now, pushing someone off-balance, sure, that can happen, considering it also happens to Scott with some rifles/shotguns.
But a good enough shove to displace the target?
Not happening unless the target's a 3 foot tall dwarf, and it's the sort of kick that makes Scott take a few steps back to stay balanced.

I was waiting all through the video to see the zombie head get Super Goosed. Scott never disappoints!
In cowboy action shooting, a lot of people use really short cylinder bore shotguns. I use a full length shotgun with full chokes. Those short shotguns can have some issues with knocking down targets at times. My long barrel with full chokes hits them like a freight train.
You definitely called it!
The point blank bit was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
With a sawn off, try choking the barrels at the end. It takes some work (milling and tapping), but your pattern will carry a lot tighter. That's how I've done it, and it works!!
I think that the reason people have sawen off shotguns is for the power in a smaller package but a long barreled shotgun, just like any other kind of gun,will always be more powerful due to the greater velocity that the extra barrel length gives.
Also shorter barrel means easier to hide
Always the best consistently putting some interesting videos, and to notice how much you personally and your channel has grown is absolutely incredible man, massive amounts of kudos and appreciation towards ya, I remember when you would upload short really short vids. I appreciate it tons🤙🏽😁
When he was talking about subscribing, after I listened about him in the cold all I could say was,”fair enough”. Subscribed and waiting for more homie
I never thought about shotgun barrel length until I shot my Judge 410 revolver with a 2 inch barrel into a dirt bank. The pattern was about 15 feet wide at 20 feet away. It surprised me he had as many pellets as he did.
Funny thing about the cold. 2 weeks ago it was 25 below zero at my house for several days. Then it warmed up to 20 above and I went and worked outside feeling "warm" enough to work without gloves.
Your Judge also has a .45 caliber rifled barrel. The rifling is probably spinning the shot cup and therefore the shot. So, the centrifugal force is making the shot spread even more than it would naturally.
@@stefanl5183 I wonder if the rifling makes any difference in the 3 total inches the wad of shot travels through in exiting the revolver.
@@tt600pch I would say it certainly does. All pistols have shorter barrels, but they still have rifling. Also there are rifled choke tubes that are made for shooting slugs, and choke tubes are really short. Anyway, Paul Harrel has done videos where he tested rifled choke tubes and found they did in fact make a difference with sabot slugs. So, yeah, it should make a difference. You gotta remember the shot cup is moving pretty fast as it travels down that barrel. That's gonna make the spin the rifling imparts on it pretty fast. For shot loads that spins spreads the pattern. For slugs it tightens it, but it requires more spin to stabilize a slug than it does to spread because there are different forces at work. It's centrifugal force that spreads shot whereas it's a physics phenomenon called precession that stabilizes bullets. Anyway, if you watched this video, even though he did get some additional spread from the shorter barrels, he certainly didn't get the amount you did. The rifling in your barrel made a difference.
Please never stop with the skits man they’re hilarious haha. You make my day, I’m glad you’re still here.
I would be interested to see how #4 buckshot performs. Of course the close range is best for the sawed-off. And I think with a little distance the sawed-off could take out multiple targets standing close together, especially with more pellets.
The intro is freakin awesome. Good job coming up with them.

1 like = 1% more feelings In Scott’s fingers
*Fingeys*
Use golf tees to mark the holes next time. It will also let you know when a hole is hit twice.
Sawn off might get you more wounding at short ranges as your spread will be larger (which might make it more likely that your target doesn't get back up, but then so would a properly aimed shot from a full length shotgun), but it's never going to be "more powerful" because less of the energy in the shell is being constrained by the barrel and using to accelerate the pellets.
With a 34" barrel on the Super Goose it's a yard closer to the target than the other guns. You should have added a yard to the distance it shot from, just to make up for that extra-length barrel.
I always thought the shirter the barrel, the wider the spread so im not too surprised. Sawed offs have a badass feel and look to them but i think a lot of that was also thanks to action flicks and video games. Still, this was an awesome video and I absolutely loved the Supergoose shot at the end.

Love the content Scott and thanks for braving the cold. I live in SD so cold is relative but I understand your pain and discomfort. ;-)
I've never heard or thought it was implied /led to believe that they were more "powerful" than a standard long barreled shotgun. They are depicted as more concealable and easily carried, and more easily wielded effectively in close quarters, without sacrificing too much lethality, again in close quarters. These are "pop into a doorway and blast everything in the room with both barrels" gun, not a "20 yard one barrel at a time" gun.
Exactly this. Unforgiven taught us the same lesson--sawed offs don't need to be aimed.
I think the sawed off is the way to go in a house/close quarters. They do similar damage but imagine trying to swing a 3ft gun around in a hall not so great but a lil 1 ft sawed off would be more suitable. Everything is situational, Great video!
One handed usability as well

Down side to sawed of shotguns is decreased capacity.

@@JesusIsGoodTruth damn right brother
I have never seen a movie claim a shotgun is deadlier sawed-off, it's just to conceal it, or make it easier to use in closed spaces
Before I watch the rest of the video and read comments I'm sure it was more down to easy concealment and close range power. Not to mention intimidation. So looking forward to the results 😊
The Mother Goose my favorite! That long barrel shouts GET OFF MY PORCH!
The myth about the power comes from the old western movies, where some guys switched out their 6 shooter with a sawnoff and mowed the opponent away in duels.
Well, it isn't a myth that a sawed off 12 gauge is far more powerful than a 45 colt pistol.
@@logangodofcandy That isn't the reason... The old western colts aren't that precisely like modern ones. There are videos on YT. The Peacemaker with it's long barrel is as precisely as a modern stubby nose. There were many tolerances in production at that times... So shooting a shotgun with many small balls in it could have advantages. That is the reason he took 20 steps, then 10 steps than as close as possible... To show, that less distance is better, or use a longer barrel.
