That's a nasty flinch you got there, Scott. You may want to run some drills to smooth that out. ;) Nice video, very concise and helpful. Thanks for showing the features of the gun without 10 mins of "unboxing". lol
You may want to use the gas adjustment, 2 settings. That other know in front other the charging area on the right side, you never addressed that, which may help in lower " feet per second", not frames... Good luck man
My EGX500 runs great. I use the gas adjust on HV for shells over 1300fps and I close it for shells with less than that pressure. I think Panzer did a good job with it
@@Scott67 were you using the gas adjust on low setting when you were having issues with those boxes of ammo in the video? You never mentioned what setting the gas system was on...
Like the review, I bought mine about 3 months ago, I replaced the open sights with better pop ups and risers for both front and rear, replaced the fore grip with a magpul vertical bicycle grip. Been taking it to the indoor range banging slugs on the HV setting. No issues at about 50 rounds cycles for me well, love this bullpup. Thanks again for the review.
Thanks. I tried but could have done better. Very cool to hear you did what I thought this gun needed as far as setup. I don't mind the sights but I don't like having to bury my face in the cheek riser. So getting a set of risers is something I'm getting for sure. What velocity are the slugs your using? I didn't use the HV setting at the range {Didn't even mention it in video}. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I too love this shotgun.
@@Scott67 I just been using Winchester 1600 fps fosters from Wally World, and I can actually get my face up off the gun and use the risers I put on to make the cheek rest work for me. I either have 1/2 in risers or 3/4 in I forget. But it clears my face off the butt stock. I need to get to the outdoor range and shoot some clays actually to see how it does with lighter loads.
I've shot plenty of shotguns before, but I'm thinking about getting this for my first gun (I can't really afford anything much more expensive), would you recommend it or should I avoid as a newbie?
Thanks for catching that. I said that in 2 video's as I guess you noticed. I like this shotgun. Long story short. This is not my best work. I'll strive to do better. Thanks again.
Thanks for the review one of the biggest selling points about the shotgun was the adjustable gas block. All the promo says that pushing it in or out, should help with cycling different kinds of ammo. I don’t think you mentioned that in the video have you tried it?
You are right. I did not mention it and I apologize. I took this to the range many times and just couldn't get it to run on the regular setting. By the time I made the video the adjustable gas block switch was just forgotten.
@@Scott67 damn I was hoping that adjustable gas block would solve the problem of the previous Panzer bull pup shotgun with cycling different kinds of ammo. Thanks for the response stay safe🤟🏽
Did you try the other gas block setting with the ammo you were having issues with? Looks like you had that knob on the right side pulled out which from what I read about is for "heavy loads"; which I think may be intended for 3" shells. If you are using 2 3/4" shells, you may need to run the gas block in "light load" mode by pushing that pin in. It's the knob on the right hand side that is just forward of where the charging handle would be if that were on the right side too.
I've been to the range a handful of times and couldn't get it to run well. Everything under 1400 fps has been in the standard position. The slugs have been shot in Hv setting (pulled out). I went back and read the manual. It does state that it needs a break in period. Sorry I didn't show or talk about the gas block setting. I'm going to have to do a part 2 on this one.
I took this to the range many times and just couldn't get it to run on the regular setting. By the time I made the video the adjustable gas block switch was just forgotten but to answer the question anything under 1400 fps I was using the regular setting anything above I used the high velocity setting as it says in the manual.
@@Scott67 With Panzer I just use hot loads. 1400 or more fps. Everything runs decent. Mostly buck and wondering what was that slug from Federal you shot in this video?????
@@Scott67 ok. I watched a video of the bp12,and it mentioned running better with high pressure ammo, and can't be adjusted. EGX500 (property adjusted) can go either way. I'm ready to get one, just not sure which one.
I have the gun and the gas block didn't make much difference. It won't cycle well if you are not shooting high velocity rounds over 1300 fps. It doesn't do well with any bird shots either.
I tried many times to get a review on this and just couldn't get it to run. That is why I totally forgot the switch on this thing. The manual does say it needs a break in period but so far it won't run anything under 1300 as well. The last time I went to the range it ran good. {Shotgun for home defense video}. It's fun to shoot but it wouldn't be my go to gun. Not yet.
I think the only difference is this one a gas adjustment switch that I didn.t talk about. This one had to be "broken in period" in which I'm not a fan.
Ah see that's what I couldn't find. Thank you for the info. Seems the EGX500 is nicer since it allows for ambi charging on left or right side. @@Scott67
@@Scott67 I left the bolt locked back on both of mine for like a month. When I took them out to break them in there was no break in. They just ran. I did have one jam on the first bullpup. That's because I got excited and didn't seat the round all the way back in the mag.

FPS feet per second. Like your review. Bought one yesterday, hope it cycles the 1350FPS I have on stock!

Hope yours runs well. I will say the manual mentions a "break in period".
There is also a button at the front right to switch for low and high velocity rounds
Thanks for the demo and tips, thinking of getting one now.
Your welcome and thanks for watching.

Is that Picture Frames or Bed Frames?
Just kiddin, good video.
Duh. Bed frames, lol. Yes, your not the first to catch that. Thanks for watching.
Good vid. 1345 fps or faster works perfect.
The slower stuff just doesn’t do well at all with this shotgun.
Thanks. I guess you caught I said frames per second {I was in camera mode}, but yes faster works perfect.
Thank you!! Very educational!!!
Thank you very much. I try.
Are you trying both gas settings for the different loads??
I took this to the range many times and just couldn't get it to run on the regular setting.

@@robertmason7553 Federal 2 3/4 1610 fps 1oz rifled slug
Can you change the FOREgrip?
The foregrip is not on a rail, so I would say no.
What's the difference in the egx500 and the BP12 ?
Egx500 has a gas control switch for low and high velocity shells. Unfortunately I had trouble just getting it to run. So I never talked about it.
@@Scott67 ok. I watched a video of the bp12,and it mentioned running better with high pressure ammo, and can't be adjusted.
EGX500 (property adjusted) can go either way.
I'm ready to get one, just not sure which one.
I had to lol at the FPS “frames per second”. Awesome gun thkugh
Yes, cool gun. I had to set the FPS on my phone for video that day and it carried over to the ammo. Many have caught that. Thanks for watching .

Mine ran birdshot, buckshot and several flavors of slugs flawlessly. This was during the break in period.
"frames per second"? 😂 I bought mine in December and put a green dot laser on it.
Feet per second I know. I'm so used to frames per second due to filming. This is a fun shotgun and with a dot on it I'm sure it is blast. Lol.
Able to shoot the gun left handed?
Yes. Controls on both sides.
If ya don’t mind getting slapped by the ejected shells…..
Is this better than the BP12?
I think the only difference is this one a gas adjustment switch that I didn.t talk about. This one had to be "broken in period" in which I'm not a fan.
Thank you Scott. Did the BP12 have ambi charging handle like this one? @@Scott67
@@ElevatedVehicles Bp 12 has a right side charge and a Ar style charging handle.

I have two bullpups. Love'em. After the break in they run like a raped date. Mine are the dickinson ranger and the century centurion.
Cool. Mine took longer than I would like to break in. But it runs like a champ now.
@@Scott67 I left the bolt locked back on both of mine for like a month. When I took them out to break them in there was no break in. They just ran. I did have one jam on the first bullpup. That's because I got excited and didn't seat the round all the way back in the mag.
@@bigbadjohnpesek9894 Thanks. I'm in the market for another one and that info will come in handy.
frames per second??????????? whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat ????
Yes, I had just adjusted the video camera that day from 60 fps to 30.
