How far is a Shotgun Deadly? These are the not smart ideas we come up with related to shotguns. I've found myself focused on how deadly shotguns are because it is such a compelling weapon. Especially when we think about how far a projectile might need to travel, and given the low pressures and velocities from shotguns I really wanted to see when it would be deadly. Utilizing BirdShot, buckshot, and Slugs we'll be evaluating with intense science.

Then getting into duck loads of 2,3&4 shot or seriously hard hitting goose loads like BB, BB2, T. In 3 or 3 1/2 inch mag loads would give people a different outlook on what "birdshot" can do.

Birdshot is debatable. It depends on the shot used. For basic home defense, Ive found that #5 shot is more than enough to stop someone at 20 ft. I have a small home with neighbors so wanted something that would drop someone, but not go thru the walls afterwards. Though i do own plenty of 00buck.

@zerofactor7871 Рік тому
I've taken whitetail deer with a 12ga slug at both 120y and 175y, both with a single shot, break-action Rossi with iron sights. Thing kicked like a donkey and there was no chance to reload a second shot if you missed, so you had to practice with it a lot before the season started. Only time I would hunt with 00 Buck is if I was doing spot-and-stalk through low brush or thick trees, where you'd be most likely to have a snap shot at a deer from between 10-50y. Used the same gun to hunt partridge, ducks and coyotes with varying loads and at a variety of ranges - longest successful shot was a sabot slug on a coyote at just under 200y, and it was standing still.

@EJCox 2 роки тому
Dr. Garand Thumb, I am a military historian and watching this video has reminded me of an ammunition load from the American Civil War. Because both sides were low on rifled muskets at the start, many of them were using .69 (nice) caliber smoothbore muskets. One of the popular cartridges for this weapon was called the "buck and ball" load. This would be the .69 caliber ball with three buckshot loaded on top. The accounts we have describe these loads as being particularly devastating within 80 yards. I was wondering if you would do a "historical" science episode on this load.
@SgtPotShot 2 роки тому
Winchester had a few of these loads for home defense for their PDX1 line. One rifled slug with 3 00 pellets behind it. The performance was disappointing. Might as well used either a rifled slug alone to prevent stray bbs, 00 buck if you need the spread, or just a straight up rifle instead.

Steel shot, I consider myself lucky at that as I am in my mid 50s now, and still have shot in my leg, lead poisoning. I took it in my right leg outer thigh, and it wiped out a good 5” swath of skin, muscle, nerves, whatever was there ended up on the wall behind me. I got really lucky and wasn’t hit again. But yeah, bird shot, 5 yards, the pattern is tight enough to carry the energy. Bad news. I keep my shotty loaded with #1 buck. You get the same energy, twice the pellets.

I’m a retired cop. In 1994 I was shot with #9 birdshot from a sawed off shotgun from 17 yards. I was in the old Weaver flashlight stance, firing, and was struck in both hands, both arms and unfortunately in the face from below the nose up. Felt like a wide baseball bat hit me in the face. Both hands immediately went numb and unusable. I had some arterial bleeding from my left wrists which I covered covered with my limp ass right hand. A few seconds later blood began pouring out of my nose and down my throat. So what happened was, some of the pellets hit my forehead and flattened out on the surface of the skull. Several pellets penetrated my skull above my eyes and lodged behind my sinuses, this was the reason the blood faucet turned on. One pellet went very deep and caused a basilar skull fracture. Because I was in the weaver stance most of the damage below my head was to my left arm. I ended up with a compartment syndrome and have two massive scars. I was pretty messed up luckily there was lots of cops around because the shooter had already shot an officer, which is why my sorry ass was there and I happened to find the guy. The recovery was horrible, very painful, and I was out for two years. The compartment syndrome caused motor nerve damage to my arm and it was slow going. The sensory nerves were wide awake!!!! I have about 85% use but still have pain. Yeah I went back and did 37 years. On a positive note the pattern of the pellets on my face was amazingly lucky on my part. They hit above my eyes, down my nose, and under my right eye. One hitting between my eye and the bridge of my nose. God loves kids,fools and cops So at 17 yards, birdshot no joke. I’m sure the ammo was pretty cheap as well. My partner and I shot the guy 9 times before he fired and he died(the old 9mm rounds. A whole different story)

Couple of questions please. In the 1990's Georgia Public Safety Training Center and the Georgia State Patrol were teaching/using a modified choke in a 12 gauge, 12 inch (?) barrel. It was a long time ago, my memory isn't so good anymore, but that's what I remember. It worked back then but is it still acceptable to shoot both slug and OO Buck through a modified choke? Also; as I understand it, one of the recommendations for home defense is to use # 4 shot. How lethal is this ammo and from what ranges? Your/anyone's advise is greatly appreciated. George

@Ryan Lewis a high powered rifle will do much more damage than a shotgun, but the gruesome ones are the victims of drunk driving crashes. Victims of those can have body parts sheared off, skulls crushed, bodies elongated from stretching, broken bones so that the body is just a blob… and sometimes the car catches fire too. Just know, that this happens to the person who wasn’t drinking. They can also be children. I’ve pulled windshield wipers out of peoples backs. Wire connectors somehow make their way into bodies. I’ve seen victims of explosions, getting hit by trains, fires…but the worst are usually vehicle accidents. Then there’s multiple stages of decomposition…….and maggots.

One thing to consider with birdshot for home defense is that if you miss your target, it's much less likely to kill anyone on the other side of interior walls. Sure, it'll blow a hole through sheet rock, but that'll take a lot ouf of the kinetic energy of the shot.

I find these all to be a bit miss leading when the shotgun is not identified, or shell size used plus wether it's a semi-auto or a pump ( we all should know that a semi has less force than a pump due to gasses being used to cycle the action) .... just my 2 cents

I think Iraq Vet 8888 tested that. Basically if you can hit it with a slug, it will die.

Slugs are pretty bad about fluttering off course by several feet due to a light breeze at 150 yards or more.
