      A shotgun may be a sniper rifle if it meets the following conditions.
      1 you are firing a shell with a single projectile
      2 there is a rifled choke or rifled barrel
      3 your target is over 100m away
      4 you manage to hit the target where you are aiming.
      good luck pulling that off.

I keep my shotgun loaded with the first two rounds being rubber ball type. The next three are 00 buck . I will have to rethink my choice of brand . Being a larger person recoil is not an issue . Being a fan of root canal, recoil is kind of enjoyable . That may be too much too share . 🤔😁

      i figure at that point you're better off using birdshot instead.
      i mean in most places you are supposed to stop using force when the invader retreats, so if you hit him with a rubber ball, chances are the dude gets away and continues to be a threat to other people.
      you hit him with bird shot you're still probably not killing him, but he's going to be leaving blood behind and he's probably also going to visit a hospital to get the lead pieces dug out of him, giving the cops a chance to actually track the guy down.

      You appear to be well aware off what is in the law of most localities . You can not use lethal force when the threat is over . My use of less than lethal rounds in my shotgun is strictly for the purpose of confrontational situations. If the threat is leaving l have accomplished my intentions. If the threat remains l will use less than lethal force. If the threat remains after that l have two situations on my hands . Either this is one seriously bad individual , or one so stupid that they need to be removed from the gene pool. Can't allow stupid to breed . Boy was that was politically incorrect !
      If the threat still continues after the buckshot, l'm dealing with a zombie , and am in serious doodoo . All in all it comes down to understanding legalities of your locale . This is the main reason l disagree with my state changing to the no permit needed for concealed carry. When you applied for a ccw permit previously in Arizona, you had to pass a class which included understanding the laws that applied to the use of deadly force . Now anyone can carry concealed without full knowledge of the law. That in my opinion puts the Individual that carrys and the public at risk . For the individual , it can put them in a legal battle after a confrontation . For the public , there is always a danger when an untrained person is carrying a firearm . Training is vital in so many ways .

      Depending on the state and across countries there can be restrictions that slugs are only to be used to take down doors. In some countries it's illegal to use slugs against humans in some it's illegal to hunt with them, in others it's the only shotgun load allowed to hunt big game with cause thy set a minimum speed of a certain weight. In other jurisdictions they're allowed for hunting but looked down upon cause they're said to cause a lot of meat damage (I can't confirm that, I just heard that as a reasoning). In some countries it is seen as a war crime to use shotgun slugs against people. People use whatever their restrictions allow. It's a lot easier to have a hunting ammo around instead of explaining why the r.i.p. zombie-killer 3000 was used against the misunderstood knife wielding burglar.

    Former Small arms instructor for a Federal Agency. Back in the 80's and 90's, in fact up to the turn of the century, we shot Federal 00 Buck. There was almost always a "flyer" that sometimes was on the paper, but not on the target. At other times it wasn't even on the target backer. We didn't have that problem with other manf. ammo.

    I load my own Buck shot, 3 stacked on 3 stacked on 3 stacked on 3 .i use 1 b as it works perfect. The difference is the wad. I use no slotted steel shot wad and buffer. It holds very tight. And I have it traveling at about 1500 FPS. Federal flight control was is fantastic but they tend to put too much payload for powder charge.

    @timhallas4275 Год назад +2

    00 buck at 20 yards is absolutely deadly. at 50 yards it becomes a crap shoot,, unless you use a very tight choke and a slightly under-powered loading. High speed rounds through a tight choke often produces a wider pattern than slower ones. Not sure why, but it happens.

    a shotgun is a very unique self defense weapon and it needs to be remembered that with a good shot you may have a few misses and with a bad shot you may have a few hits. we have shot it out to 100 yards and have been surprised at the hits acquired at that range.

  • @GunDrone
    @GunDrone 4 года назад +1

    Taofledermaus, I have to correct you on something. The wadding cushioning is NOT there to reduce recoil. It is to reduce the deformation of the pellets caused by sudden acceleration. The lack of pellets stringing is what is causing the increase in recoil and the tighter pellet groups. When a shotgun is fired the pellets at the front in most cases are accelerated first, which means they are moving faster followed by the pellets at the bottom of the wadding which are moving slower. Such groups can string out to around 18 feet or so.
    The effect of increased recoil of the flight control rounds is the same effect as though you are firing a slug. The stringing effect is really apparent with bird shot.

  • @thereindeertherabbitthebat592

    In my opinion, buckshot has always had more recoil than slugs or at least over all the factory stuff I've shot. I reload 12ga, 8 pellet, 36cal buck that I cast from a Lee mold, (usually over Longshot & a regular cushion wad) & them jokers kick like a mule. I like gettin my friends who don't know any better to shoot 'em from my old break barrel 💥🤕 Watching the look on their faces... HA! Priceless 😂👍 I been waitin for a good buckshot video. Great slow mo footage guys, thanks a bunch! Keep it up!!!

  • @ditchdigger93
    @ditchdigger93 4 года назад +2

    As far as I'm concerned the Flight Control wad is the biggest advancement in shotgun technology in history. I don't find them to kick any harder either myself. There are different loads and you must have had the more powerful of the two as I find the low recoil load very pleasant to shoot. My vote for the best twelve gauge load ever has to go to the fifteen pellet of number one buck Flight Control Load. Very hard to get ahold of but well worth it when you do. Product number is LE132-1B. I don't know when or why the standard for buckshot became how it patterns in your kitchen? ALL buckshot will pattern tight at four or five yards but I'd rather have to ability to still have a useful round out to fitty or sixty yards and Flight Control makes that possible.

  • @mmix224
    @mmix224 4 года назад

    My thinking is, if you want rifle like performance (like the 25 yards of flight control) then use a rifle.
    I'm on 3 acres. We have chickens and dogs.
    Something goes bump, I'm grabbing a shotgun so that at 20 yards, I HAVE spread. In fact, #3 or #1 buck does really well inside 25 yards and starts to lose lethality before it gets to my neighbor's house.
    If you want a spread, get a shotty. Don't get a shotty if you want rifle like performance. If you want a rifle, get a rifle.

    As far as 12 gauge goes, they have (or will shortly) switched to slugs. I do not have a box of those, but the buckshot they were using was " Federal Premium Law Enforcement 12GA 2¾ IN Buckshot Maximum 9 Pellets - 00 Buck with Flightcontrol Wad" product number LE127 00

    The Federal Flite-Control buckshot is some good stuff for extended range hunting applications, but kinda defeats the purpose of a buckshot load inside 25 yards, in my most humble opinion. Gotta have that spread! We ain't shooting rifles!

  • @jcarry5214
    @jcarry5214 4 года назад +1

    I haven't seen Paul's thing on buckshot, I think I saw some on Lucky Gunner or elsewhere and I was basically screaming OG's thoughts internally. If you're in distances or conditions where magic #9 is going to be a problem then you should be not shooting or shooting something else. We're talking about tech that was cutting edge back when people were stuffing nails and buttons down a gun to kill with. How many hairs should be split over it?

  • @conrradotorres4653

    Shotgun is not a sniper weapon....
    I'm sorry, but I'll have to disagree on that. I use slugs and tracer incendiary slugs that are insanely accurate at 120 yards. My farthest kill was 67 yards on a hog and it was an instant kill after the slug hit the skull.

    Ive shot alot deer with 00 buck and have actually shot a buck with remington 3.5 in 24 pellets i think, and have him run off because of no penetration... I killed him about a week later with a 2.75 in win 9 pellets around the same range 25yrd and dug the other shot out of him that just rolled under the skin... Since that day i swapped to 000 buck 2.75 in and have only had one deer that didnt fall in his tracks and he only went about 15yds and i only hit him with one pellet.

  • @leofender5033
    @leofender5033 3 года назад +1

    I suppose if you were shooting at a moving object, you might prefer more shot at lower velocity than fewer shot at higher. In my country, higher velocity is a selling point for clay target loads as people think shooting with higher velocity means less lead, which is "easier". Which is, if course, bollocks. Shooting patterns don't tell you the length of the shot column...

  • @kingginger3335
    @kingginger3335 Год назад

    Jeff. Have you ever heard of a poor man's slug? Apparently, what you do is get a bird shot round. Cut it open around the wadding system, but don't cut it all the way. You want to leave a little bit of it still attached. Like a millimeters worth. That way, when you fire the round, instead of firing the pellets, it shoots the front half of the shot cup with the bird shot left inside, essentially turning it into a slug. When you eject the round, it's only the bottom half of the shot cup left that ejects. Apparently, they're still very accurate and functionally are no different than a slug
