Surprised by the results? Freezing Shotgun Test | Gas VS. Inertia

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.พ. 2022
- Which Shotguns Will Still Work After Deep Freeze? Gas VS. Inertia Shotguns: So what happens when a shotgun gets wet and freezes in sub-zero temperatures? Is there a difference between the performance of gas shotguns vs inertia shotguns? That is exactly what we are putting to the test in this video. With 3 gas shotguns and 3 inertia shotguns, we got the shotguns soaking wet and let them freeze to see which shotguns would still operate fully in this extreme test. Which shotgun do you think wins?

After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!
I purchased a Winchester sx4 here in New Zealand because of your reviews. What an outstanding shotgun. Just another reason to buy one. Thank you. 😊
Great review and thank you for reminding me why I moved to South Texas after 40 years of living in the Minnesota cold!
New respect! Even doing the summation out side in this weather. Nicely done.
Man great show!!! Love it putting these shotguns to the test!!!
Thankfully, i bought an sx4 a couple of months back. Having just seen your torture test, i'm glad i did. It just goes to show, the more basic mechanism a shotgun has with less frills, there's less things to go wrong. Love the channel. 🙂
Congrats on the new shotgun! I just got an SX4 Field LH two days ago .. haven't shot it yet but can't wait. Hopefully I will be happy with my choice ... I'm sure I will be.
This feels oddly Garand Thumb inspired. 🤔 Appreciate all you do on this channel, man.
Next week: mud
X2 ITS AMAZING
Which was inspired by the AK group
they rifle he shotgun
Not surprising that a gas gun will shoot better than inertia when not shouldered.
Love this video. I would love to see more videos like this where you put guns through "extreme" conditions. Especially these models made for "extreme" conditions.
Great video man! Been hoping for something like this! Loving the new channel
Much appreciated, Matt. Glad you are enjoying! 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Great video once again! I would argue that the hottest loads that should have been used were 1 1/8 pheasant loads going around 1290fps. Doubt it would affect the test but just a note 🤷♂️. Jan-Feb coldest times in Minnesota, seasons left for hunting are mainly squirrel and rabbit, majority of people use 1oz loads. Doubt it affects anything and this was just a fun test anyways. Baretta a-300 has always served me great after hours in negative temps
You have to respect the commitment! Great video 👍 Also have the same coat and love it.
Love this content! Any gun can function well in ideal conditions. Thanks for putting these guns to a real test!!
I would love to see these frozen with a live round. Maybe only use .5 floz. on each gun to keep it even? This way we can see how the actions handle the freeze.
Great review! I’d love to see a review of the Tristar Viper Max!
cool test but I think it partly depends on the lubrication you have on the gun and how much, In Montana hunting ducks and geese once it freezes i run them dry and use graphite on the slides
Damn I’m glad I just bought myself an SX4 3.5” 28” barrel
Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️, you have won a prize🎁🎁🎁✅✅✅^^^^^^^^
Finally a test I’ve always wanted to see for shotguns. Just to showcase the systems and what they’re capable of. I want to give you a hug for this test but I figured a like would be better.
Also I’m not going to lie, there was some satisfaction and laughter when you broker the charging handle off the Benelli 😂
🤣I'll take a like and a hug too!
@@TargetFocusedLife Ok test the gun with the most best patterns on how to kill a goose with a shot how wide the shells are of the pattern with long range as well
Great that you are doing this
Honestly the Sx4 is an amazing one built. I've shot an browning A5 and I love it, similar as the Remington model 11 is just amazing built. I knew the 3500 would crap out just because my buddy dropped his in water and it froze over. He did not shot a single round that morning.
The model 11 is literally a licensed copy of the a5……
Awesome video!! Very interesting!
The Franchi Affinity series is a lot of gun for the money. I own one and am considering adding a couple more to the safe.
Very awesome. Great job
Soooooo Glad I bought the SX4... all because of your videos!!! thank you!
Rock on!
Super fun video bro!
We're watching it now when it's like 110° outside
❄️ vs 🔥
This was soooo helpful!!! Just got a new sx4 for Honkers...Let the games continue!!! Thanx for the vid bro!
Love your channel, would like to see more over unders though. Never was really a fan of semis but after watching your channel for a while I found myself shopping around for a semi auto 😂. Keep up the great work!!

Which did you decide VOIKO?
I purchased the Franchi affinity 3 before waterfowl season opened for 21-22. I absolutely loved it throughout the entirety of the season. Though South Georgia doesn't get Temps like where you're at, I'm glad to see it can handle the cold. Gonna do great in Maine next year🤙
Thanks for sharing your experience. I have been impressed with the Affinity 3 so far.
The bolt handles on the benelli guns just press in with hand force so snacking with a hammer is not advised 😂. Also as someone else said you need to firmly mount inertia guns for the system to cycle properly. The affinity cycled when you shoulder mounted it.
What a great channel this is. I just subscribed and I’m following you on IG. This year was my first dove hunt and I was running around like a J.A. w/a JM Pro lol. What Winchester sx4 do you recommend? Thanks for the content and all your hard work!
I watched this whooooole ass video and live in Arizona. I like your snow cactus you made at the end! 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
The best of the channel ❤️💯❤️
The lube test you mentioned would be interesting. I’ve been using FP-10 for years hunting often in sub zero weather but maybe the Otis dry lube is better I’ve never tried it? I struggled for years to find a good lube that wasn’t affected by the cold. The FP-10 sort develops a bond with the metal over time. The actions on my Benelli’s are so smooth now. Good to around -50 I believe. Nothing against the gas operated guns I still owned a few but they take me so much longer to clean than my inertia guns.
Slip 2000 EWL
Lucas extreme duty gun oil
Pick one
I’d like to see some more testing on the ethos. Trying to decide between the browning maxus 2 and ethos
Remington V3 vs Tristar Viper Max vs CZ 1012 vs Weatherby Element! A review on these $650-$750 range guns would be great. Best budget Gun Battle!
Thanks for the suggestions. I will see what I can do 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
U found a v3 for $650?
Great video.
Do a review on the Retays
Definitely enjoyed this. Most especially since I’m in the market for a new waterfowl shotgun. It looks like I’ll be looking at the Two that held up.
I got an sx4 and it works great my buddy got a franchi and has had a couple issues with cycling
@@brockrenshaw7519 thank you for the heads up on the franchi !! Because that was the way I was thinking of going.so now I’ve got to see how the cz1012 compares to the sx4.
@@kellythompson1649 Had great luck among my hunting group of the following, SBE3, M2, A300, A5, SX4, 1012. a few have tried the affinity and none of them had very good luck. lots of issues with minor parts breaking internally and failing to function. but they feel and shoot great when they were working, that was one I hated to see have issues.
I want to see the old guns compared also. My old A5 is a tank. I'll bet it cycles no problem. The motor oil used on the magazine tube, Full synthetic Castrol
@John Traiforos I'm in QC, I use a drop or two of synthetic oil on the mag tube. 1964 A5 (@-30 I'm inside)
@@ih8people679 I have an old 1920 Remington model 11that gets the motor oil treatment as well. Tough old gun.
you’ve given them all the crio treatment 😂🤣
You are the best!! 😀
6:40 I died when that charging handle snapped 😂
I just got the sbe3 BE.S.T. and giggled when the charging handle broke off hahaa! I have 3 benellis and love them. I shoot them so much more gooder than my Citori which I have mixed feelings about. Saved and saved for my nice citori and come to find out, I shoot 80's to 90's in sporting clays with my benelli lol!
Sx4 seems to be the best ,I have always had problems with inertia guns in the cold
I think you should do a review on some Turkey shotguns
Congratulations for your job.
We need a budget over and under review/comparison or any over and under review
I have a m3500 waterfowl cerakote fde gun, what are the most suitable choke and the most suitable cartridge brand for it and how many meters is the range mentioned as the middle range, thank you in advance for your help
You should come in Quebec, Canada two week ago to test them. It was -37•C ahahah
The inertia guns really need to be seated solidly against your shoulder to cycle correctly, frozen or not. That’s just how they work. INERTIA
That's just how they Don't work. INERTIA
@@bandingolahey6676 are you agreeing or disagreeing with my comment?
@@THEADMIRALISIN well in all honesty these guys have shot untold numbers of rounds with inertia shotguns over their head, from the hip, and even while doing push ups and the shotguns still cycled a new round in. No shoulders were used for those shots with inertia shotguns. I'm not a mechanical engineer or a physicist so I can't explain it, but they work even when not fired from a shoulder.
Hi, I got an affinity 1 and I adapted a benelli m4 pistol grip stock for it and when I had a bad shoulder injury I found using target loads If I pulled it in super tight with the pistol grip and lent into it to protect my shoulder and absorb the recoil I could stall it nearly every time, to stop this I found with a lighter grip it would cycle fine, when my teenage son goes from his O/U 12g to the franchi which recoils more he tenses up to absorb the recoil and has problems, when he's reminded to relax a bit and take the recoil it again cycles perfectly 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ weird
@@jonathanhoward1497, those guns did NOT have snow and solid ice throughout the entire working components.
Adam Waters suggestion is accurate. Without the solid background of a properly shouldered gun, they are naturally bound to fail. You are talking about a shotgun that is solely spring driven. Therefore, it needs a solid backstop so that all of moving components can function entirely.
I want to see a test like this on the Browning A5!
We need this for the shotgun world ! Definitely a garand thumb inspiration but thank you for opening a wave for shotguns!!!
A viewer inspired the idea, we put it on the list for upcoming video shoots and like a week later the Garand Thumb freezing gun test came out and that motivated us to get it done!
Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️, you have won a prize🎁🎁🎁✅✅✅^^^^^^^^
Did the bolt handles break off or just come out?
I’d like to see that test in SX3, SX4, A5 and the gun of your choice.
That SX4 is a horse! Just picked one up after seeing how well it has performed in your video’s. Thanks for the great tests/reviews!
Right on! Let me know how you like it once you get out and shoot with it. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
What you think about it now?
This legit hurt my soul seeing you throw those fine guns in the snow lol
You should have included the Remington versa max and the Retay gordion in the test. For the next video do something with pump shotguns!
I want to see a test to see how many of them can run a case of shells with out jamming in negative temps.
I have a Beneli M2 that locked up froze continusly on multiple hunts years ago and gun was clean and I went back to a gas berreta and never looked back
Had some issue with dry fire with stoeger but still less maintenance
Love my Super X2 3.5 mag. But 8lbs empty then throw 3 3.5" #2 and its a tank but never an issue
How about trying a Beretta 686, Browning CXS, Franchi LX & Remington 101 O/U with the same test's and see how they fare to each other?
I like this test. Late season goose hunts here in ohio are basically the real world version of this.

@@TargetFocusedLife Thanks brother I appreciate it👍👍
I grew-up in northern Minnesota. when bird hunting in minus 10 or 20, typically short stroking my 870 express was the biggest problem, but that was not the gun's fault. The most critical part of the "action" was frozen (me). 😆 🤣 😂
Looks like I'm going to trade my wicked wing maxus 2 for a sx4, don't think 🤔 so. Great test got a Franchi, Stoeger 3500 and berrata 391. I personally only use wicked wing, but still have the original maxus waterfowl addition. Wicked wing is upgrade over the original 👌
sx4 is the best.. period.
Cool vid, I’d like to see a review on the CZ 628 pump
Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️, you have won a prize🎁🎁🎁✅✅✅^^^^^^^^
Only issue imma say is the inertia ones in you did have the franchi up to your shoulder the first shots then after you did it fired perfect
Did you notice a big difference when you cleaned them how much snow/ice intruded in each firearm? Maybe some of them have tighter tolerances to keep stuff out? It would also be interesting to see an old school gun like an Remington 1187 and maybe a pump shotgun just to see if they are more or less reliable in snow/ice... I would however say the SX4 was impressive!
I thought the sx4 was notorious for loosing the charging handle. Maybe it's just frozen in.. liking your channel
From what I’ve read Winchester fixed that issue a while back.
lol...they did when they were first released. That has since been fixed.
Question, Why no remington? No versamax or v3?
I bought the maxus 2 I’ve shot and been around these guns for years and it’s the only one I’ve truly liked the sx4 and maxus are great guns and I’d recommend them to anyone
How does sx4 compare to baretta extreme plus?
Think of which one to get lol that’s gas powered and on my first hunting trip
I have the Winchester SX3. On the original shipping box it says made in Belgium by Browning. When I went to change the safety to left hand. I used Browning instructions given I could not find the directions under Winchester to make the switch. The internal are the same on both guns - just different furniture. The internal machining of the Winchester is top-notch. The Winchester can be adjusted for length of pull, comb and cast. You can make it a perfect fit right out of the box. All adjustment parts are included with the gun. If you want a dam good auto at a reasonable price pick up a Winchester. No I don't work for Winchester I just like high quality stuff at a reasonable price.
Yeah. I own a old Ithaca xl900 12 gauge and its the gas recoil and it has hardly any kick. 2 3/4 chamber. I like to use #6 shot and #2 shot. I had to lube mine up with wd40 hahaha. It works.
Was not expecting that result from the Winchester. I was thinking the A400 was going to come out on top.
Love your channel by the way. 👍 Wholesome, informative and fun. Thanks.
That not a fair depiction of a test because when you take all the shotguns out of the snow at the same time, of course the first shotgun is going to be frozen while the others the snow starts to melt making it easier to shot
Would have liked to have seen the Ultima in there too.
No other tuber has done a mud test with modern shotguns: that would be a hit video if you end up testing it!
I filmed a video this week with different lubricants. First I shot in cold and with snow in chambers and then I dumped way too much dirt and junk in the chambers, but the test was interesting to see. Video should be out next week. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)

Steve for this type of shooting does the 3" work better for the SX4? Or is a SX4 Magnum just as good?
3” runs more flawlessly
That Winchester was a beast
I'm not surprised how well the Franchi did. Benelli makes Franchi but the Affinity is essentially a Benelli M2 clone with focus on reliability and lower price. The fit and finish isn't as nice as a Benelli M2 but they're great guns. When we're at the range my friends Affinity 3 shoots target loads lighter than 1 1/8 oz and less than 3 drams (the minimum shell lead weight and powder power) the Franchi is rated for and has never jammed. Very reliable.
Franchi affinity alınır mı sizce almalımıyım
Was surprised that no ice was formed inside the barrel that could have devastating effect when shooting.
Wow!!! That’s what you call torture test !!! Both my shot guns made the top 2
I don’t see how the Maxus 2 can’t keep up with the sx4 they’re basically the same gun it’s gotta be because of the 3in chamber the bolt doesn’t have to cycle as far
Good content
Kinda need a shell in battery when you freeze it but that’s a little more dangerous lol
Could you do muddy water tests and mud tests with these guns please
I like how much extra time was spent with the inertia guns. Even after two of the three had broken handles. I was going to call bullshit on this video till the SX4 won.
I wanna start off by saying I have always been a benelli guy BUT this last year I got a Winchester sx4 3inxh and I absolutely love it , but down side it gets soo dirty!!! But I went to the comments as tou told me too and I feel like the benelli and the rcoild operated gun with do better as the gas ports might freeze with ice but time will tell here I go to watch the rest of the vid
Well hell I'm glad I bought my winchester sx4 !!!! I've been 1000% happy with it my buddy has the franchi affinity 3 he shot my old I 12 I has but after my shoulder surgery I had to switch to gas and couldn't be happier!!!
Me and my buddies inertia stoegers never fail during freezing cold muddy duck hunts. Infact my friends m3500 has NEVER even been cleaned after thousands and thousands of rounds. Inertia is the most reliable imo
Haha yeah got a cousin has had his for years without cleaning and always goes bang! About 2-3 jams per 2 day hunt. Brush it off keep going lol
I appreciate the content but it hurts my sole to see my dream gun treated that way😂
We are about to move to North Dakota so this was very necessary
I cant believe he took a hammer to those guns,sound like some of my hunting buddies
Isn’t the Maxus II just a repackaged SX4? Same factory , just different markings?
And that’s what I only shoot Winchester shotguns... but I would of like too have seen Remington in the mix love my remi also
Of course you picked Winchester, they sponsor you. Just got my son the Winchester SXP. It is way too front heavy. The sight is horrible.
You keep your Winchester and I will stick with my Beretta.
Hi Scott, Winchester does not sponsor me in any form or fashion. Gould Brothers used to be sponsored by Winchester but haven't been for a couple years. I had no preconceived ideas on how this video would turn out. Just brought the guns out and shot them, letting the results fall where they did.
@@TargetFocusedLife , you shot a cheap ass Winchester for your demonstration shooting. I have watched your videos, you do not give an equal comparison between shotguns. You fired that Winchester more, so it heated up and was able to “out perform” the others. If you don’t think that you are biased, go back and watch your own videos.
Your are as biased as the Glock boys
@@tsmcl38 he shot the Franchi way more aka- giving it a chance to warm up.
To give inertia guns a fair chance you need to have them on your shoulder or leg otherwise they are losing some of the recoil energy they rely on to cycle the gun. We shoot Benelli SBE 2s and if you hold them beside you they will jam times sooner than if they have solid backing. My gun basically never jams on me while hunting and I couldn't figure out why it was jamming more when I held it beside me with the same ammo until I thought through it and we did some tests.
Agree
Yes, inertia systems need to be shouldered to cycle reliably.
Agree
I own a a pair of hearing protection that I can turn on and I can hear birds and can talk to people with them on and I can hear them. But as soon as you even make a snap by them when I have them on they only costed me 60$ I love them cawld well I think the name of them are very nice highly recommend them for shooting
Keeping a spare charging handle for the Benelli SBE while on a hunting trip is a good idea.
Great vid! When is the benelli 828u and the Beretta silver pigeon showdown?
Hopefully can get some content on these guns when I head South at the end of the month. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
