"all you need is a 12 gauge pump, you can hunt and defend your house" "Just shoot them in the leg/shoot the gun out of his hand" Basically anything said by someone in Congress over the age of 55 regarding guns.
As our dearly departed Paul Harrel displayed in one of his older videos, he pointed out that birdshot is less likely to over-penetrate. I don't think anyone will make a case for only using birdshot, but not everyone lives in an area or well-laid-out home where they can shoot 12-gauge buckshot or slugs without worrying about overpenetration. The possibility of potentially hitting bystanders and loved ones is also a potential risk if you live in an urban area or apartment, which is why you must pick the right tool (and projectile) for your needs. Either way, great vid GNW.
I think that the other thing to keep in mind about shotguns and birdshot is that inside the typical house or apartment the engagement distance will likely be at less than ten yards and inside of those very close distances there will be extremely little spread. At 5 yards you’re basically talking about a single hole and even 7.5 shot will be devastating.
I've done extensive penetration testing with 12 ga with different target media and distances. I've determined that up to about 3 ft.any size of pellets in a one ounce charge will be in a solid column. It spreads at a fairly predictable rate past that point.
@@GreatNorthwestWeaponry Great video. I think you might be confusing "electroless nickel plating" with nickel electroplating. Nickel electroplating certainly existed in Japan prior to the war; (I read as early as 1892). Very small point and not intended to take away from the point that Japanese arsenals were not nickel plating pistols for military issue. That is 100% true, and a good "fudd lore" point.
as a guy that owns both a type-14 and a type-94 nambu. I think a lot of the people thinking the type-14 is a garbage pistol comes from the type-94 and people just calling both guns, "The Nambu" as a sort catch all.
One fuddlore I've heard is the M1 Carbine lacked penetration during the Korean war the bullets would bounce off Chinese soldiers heavy wool coats in the winter conditions. Have you ever heard about that?
That's interesting, the Fudd lore I've heard often re: birdshot is that it IS effective for personal defense. The other myths re: the .22 tumbling inside the skull and the Japanese pistol are new to me (but maybe the Fudd culture I grew up in isn't representative of Fudd culture at large). Part 3?
There will definitely be a part three at some point! Probably gonna be a couple months before I get around to it, got a bunch of other content coming in the meantime 👍🏻
Some people actually promote use of birdshot for home defense. I cringe at the thought. It sounds like a good way to face a civil suit for maiming a crook that invaded your home.
I know I’m not a Fudd. I like what I like. I could care less what your mag capacity is. I just hate when people assume I have that opinion because I like 20rd mags. It’s my rifle my choice. And I personally think my AR looks way more sexy with the 20rd mags
Good stuff, but work on your lighting. Your guns could look like a McDonalds commercial, but instead they look like a McDonalds. And the lighting makes your face looks like the Adams Family, because it's casting shadows on your own face. Get a spinning table thing, put the gun on it, and spin it slowly like a diamond salesman. That's part of your B roll. so when you edit a video, leave your talking audio, but swap in the B roll video. and also swap in pictures. so when you talk about bird shot, cut to a picture of one cut open! Your work is good, buy all your video skills (lighting, editing, etc...) are lacking
“Be careful, sonny. That .22 will fly for a mile!”
Yeah I ended up finding and watching the original video recently. Good call on continuing the series
Thank you kindly!
Capacity matters depending on how many fentys you have in your city. Those vids of hopped up people taking 10 plus shots of pistol rounds is crazy.
Now I want to only use 12 gauge slugs for home defense.
I mean, those’ll definitely do the trick 🤣

True that!
Last time you did this, it was for a 15k sub special. Now youre at 24k, nuts how fast youre growing!
It’s been blowing my mind man… Thanks for watching!

Thanks Thomas. Another great video.
Thanks for watching! As much as this topic gets me worked up I do enjoy talking about it 😂
"The Japanese didn't have the technology to nickle plate handguns" yeah, they did.
You can actually find with a quick search that the use of nickel plating in Japan didn’t begin until the 1950s

The Type 94 definitely has some issues, still want one though!

Can’t for sure say that I have

Within ten feet it is incredibly lethal
Fuddlore, that the 2A is strictly for self defense.
That.
Someday you young whippersnappers will become Fudds too. Just give it time.😂😂😂
Oh I know 🤣
Fudds have no age requirement

That’s the wonderful thing about guns, you can (kinda, long as Uncle Sam is cool with it) do with them as you please 👍🏻
Excellent thanks bro 🙏👌👍💯❤️
Thanks for watching!
One ounce 7 1/2 shot is 437 grains. At 20 feet all of those TINY pellets WILL kill you!
Great video
Thanks!
Another good one Thomas! Got a Walther P38 from 1941 that is cromed so it must belong to a general in the Wehrmacht! 😀
😂
great videos
Thanks for watching!
Great video!👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸
Thank you kindly!
@@GreatNorthwestWeaponryThank you sir!
I wonder if a .22 bullet can travel for a mile?
Look at the product warning on virtually every box of 22 ammo.
@ I’d rather see someone do an actual test.
@@AlexKS1992The military has tested almost every caliber.
Read "Underdstanding Firearms Ballistics" by Robert A. Rinker and educate yourself.
@ *Understanding, if you’re going to be condescending learn to spell properly.

That is definitely a part of making videos that I want to improve in the coming year, just gotta get the equipment 👍🏻
