I don't care what some people say about birdshot being ineffective. I wouldn't want to get shot by it, especially after seeing what it did to a metal door. From these results, I'd use the #4 birdshot for defense. Thank you for this informative video.
Very good video. Best one I have seen showing the results from different kinds of 12-gauge ammo. Very clear and good photo results. Helps me make a decision on ammo. Good job. 👍
Appreciate the video, I like how you kept it simple. Showed the box and shot, then shot it on a plain surface where we could get a good idea of what it looks like and how it fairs next to the others. Exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
I know I use to shoot junk cinderblocks drywall and 2x4s and plywood and make targets out of them. Its super interesting seeing what it does to something other than paper/ soda cans/ fruits etc
I have a couple of old but well preserved 12 gauge's and only some #8 birdshot and slugs. I was worried that #8 wouldn't be adequate for home defense. That first shot, then inspecting that door convinced me otherwise.
That was awesome thank you, you explained it perfectly for a guy like me not to bright to understand loud in clear which shell does what according to any need.
The #8 bird did pretty well, didn't it? At that range, especially in a short-distance home situation, where avoiding collateral damage is critical...what else does one need? Especially with follow-up shots, as needed?
The Winchester PDX shot.. look at that pattern. Now picture that pattern hitting somebody in center mass. God damn. I have several boxes of PDX ammo that I've had for quite some time now. I have practice with it over the years at different distances. It stays very well grouped for about 25 yards. After that it spreads out real real fast. Right now in my ar12 I have a slug load out and I have a magnum buckshot load out. Five of each per mag. From defense, typically I would use either my 9 mm or my Mossberg 590. The 590 has low recoil buckshot in it. Where I live there's no safe direction to really shoot at an intruder and miss.
Great video thanks for posting it.... I have a 12 gauge and birdshot will be just perfect for me for home self defense... After watching what the bird shot did to a metal door... I'm not worried in the least what it will do to an intruder coming into my house, all I know is it's going to be stopping somebody
You now I use to work with those steel doors .Great idea .Really shows off the difference in how the different kind of shot reaches with the metal.Im going to my brother in laws and try it on the door I gave him.
No clue if this would work (legally), but I once asked a friend who owns a rental property how he would deal with his renter not paying the rent and refusing to leave, because of squatter protection laws. Lol with full confidence he says that it’s his property and it’s his right to take his doors. That would be a funny battle to watch, they come home to no front or back door lol. Something tells me there’s a hole in his theory ha
I have a 410 as a home defense with 00 buckshot. My friends always give me a hard time about only having a 410 for defense but after seeing what the bird shot out of a 12 gauge did im confident.
I also have a judge public defender. Wouldn't hesitate to use it for home defense within 10 yards at all. Especially hornady critical defense 410 ammo.
Thank you sir for taking the time and buying the ammo to post this video it's always interesting to see I have similar loads to test what it would do so it was informative thank you I would like for you to err on the side of caution even though there's two of you out there and I know you guys know what you're doing don't leave your weapon with your ammo I got a couple of scary stories but it doesn't matter because each and every one of us are individuals I'm not trying to be rude or belittle it's just something I'm always aware of on the Range no matter how many people are there alright Brothers fight the good fight keep your barrels warm and your powder dry !
I install doors for a living and have shot at the old doors with a large variety of handguns... long story, made short: doors are not safe to hide behind if you are being shot at.
Movies often downplay the power of bullets to only being able to shred organic tissue and virtually everything else is impervious to them... Like no, biological matter like skin and bones are way stronger than literally everyone thinks, bullets absolutely will obliterate metal that they hit
Logix "there been" folks that fell from ten stories and survived, but I bet you won't let me yell "pull" and jump your ass out a 10th story window while I pepper ya with nitro turkey.
I recently read and watched No Country for Old Men. In particular in the film adaptation, Moss shoots at Chigurh using a 12 gauge shotgun with 00 buckshot through a hotel room door. The distance can't be more than 10 feet. How Moss doesn't just totally blow him away makes no sense.
I'm using #8 for my HD 12 gauge. My apartment is small, and there are people living in every direction, so a miss with a slug or buckshot might not be the best option for that situation. I know some might say, "Well don't miss, practice more, blah...blah...blah". The fact and probability is that it could happen, especially under extreme duress. I'd rather mitigate any collateral damage, whether mine or someone else's. So, #8 should do the job. I'm looking at it like, who wants to get shot? Who wants broken bones, like ribs, or a broken sternum, clavicle, arm, etc.? I'm assuming broken bones will ruin the day of anyone. Also, getting hit dead center in the chest with a round or two of #8 will be devastating at close ranges of 7-10 feet, and for psychological reasons should end the fight. If it doesn't there's a few more left. I'm guessing one or two will do. There's a few left for more than one intruder as well. Imagine, if Mike Tyson could get one clean shot on you in his prime? Would he put your lights out in one punch? Probably, and a shotgun blast with #8 is 10 fold (not mathematically figured), nonetheless it will put a BG down. As a side note to anyone assuming I'm trying to just wound, no I will be going for lethal results, and a #8 should incapacitate the threat lethally. The pellets are held tightly in the wad at close ranges, so it will be a large mass of approximately 500 grains. A 500 grain hunk of lead isn't something to sneeze at.
Make sure you have a dust pan, broom and mop cause someone shot at 7 feet will shit on themselves from shear terror hearing the rack of a shot gun will pucker an ass quicker then a rainbow flag parade. Much less then being deaf,Shot and covered in your own shit.
Well said sir. I also use #8 for home defense. Interior walls and doors are not as thick or strong as that steel exterior door he was shooting at. Most of the time the sound of racking a round in a 12 gauge shotgun is enough to deter an intruder.

What is your distance from the door??? What shotgun choke are you using?? All good questions as they drastically effect the performance of your shotgun rounds....Anyway interesting video which I did enjoy... Thank you
Thanks Comborico, I had a blast shooting up our old metal front door! (And how often does a person get to do that?!!) Check out my latest video after over 100 rounds of birdshot meets my door.
So much for safety behind a metal door. Cover and concealment are two different things. What distance were you shooting at?? Some years ago I shot my Taurus 16.5" barreled .22 magnum M72 into an old metal 50 gal drum at about ten feet and solid points went clean thru the front as though the hole was drilled. The hole on the back side had a huge dent around it. Sure is fun shootin' stuff ain't it?? Nice video sir.
This video is a myth buster for all who claim that birdshots aren't for home defense , the large holes on that door happened by the birdshots not the buck or the slug
Guy at the gunstore sold me 00buck for home defense..I live in a townhouse..that shit will literally go thru my neighbors wall..I need to get some birdshot after seeing what it can do
I got my kel tek KSG loaded with 24 rounds of the Agelia mini buck shot 7 pellet. I wouldn't even have to open the door I could use walkthrough the massave hole after that.
When #8 doesn’t have the distance to spread out (like in a house), it’s mass has a LOT of energy. Short of body armor maybe, I’d use small birdshot for home defense no problem.
Is this one of those metal doors with the foam inside of it? Cause It didint look like it had and wood inside if it, I wonder how much stronger would a solid oak wood door with metal covering it would be
Not really. You want more penetration than that. Look up a channel called brobee223, and you will see what is suitable and why. Most slugs are designed for small east coast deer, and don't penetrate well. Hard alloy solid body slugs are good for bears, but your standard 1 oz slug from the local store is almost certainly a soft alloy foster which turns into a doughnut and quickly stops a small animal.
I have always been a fan of #4 birdshot . I have used a model 12 .16 gauge since 1963 and found #4 birdshot to be the go to round. Except for deer of coarse,then it is slugs. As a Teenager I often went with visiting hunters to make sure they didn't shoot any livestock on our farm and when birds went up I would aim and wait for the hunters to shoot first and when they missed and gave up I would then shoot and still take out the pheasant.
Funny! I've never been told that about the likes of Tom Arnold, but I too now can see this a bit! Glad you enjoyed my video. It sure was a blast shooting...I mean "testing" my old door! The next video was after over 100 rounds of birdshot met my poor door... so much fun!!
