This is an awesome video for newbies to the world of shotguns. The way things are right now, some foreign firearm manufacturers (that's right Turkey, I'm looking at you) are releasing new, and funkier looking designs, and getting them imported to the US more and more. The most common of these *are* in fact shotguns, and a new wave of gun owners have chosen to come in swinging for the fences with a multitude of 12ga models. So being unsure about what shells do what, and essentially starting from scratch, videos like these will be invaluable to them! Keep em' comin' big guy 👍🏽
This video was very informative.....I am big into handguns but wanted to know more about shotgun ammo....learned a lot here
Nice quick and concise video for shotguns. Love slugs!!!
I have to say being a super green beginner for these things Buckshot and the slug is super massive damage on the rip tear and damage scale especially like you mentioned a bucket is like a 9 mm round impacting / hitting 9 times in a single shot. Game over
Thanks for the video. I was just shopping for a home defense shotgun today. I know a lot about handguns but not shotguns. 👍
(When they're in stock) shotgun ammo can be intimidating. There are TONS of options and loads. This just scratched the surface, but as I'm sure you noticed it was a bit wet put that day
I was looking at a Rock Island vrpa40 5 round mag loader pump for $380.00. Like SGT. Schultz. I know nothing.
We had some other videos planned that would have been helpful but we were rained out
Just be careful, I know there are several hi-cap magazines for the Rock Island shotguns 😁

That’s a little over kill. Maybe not.
Very good video! Thanks. I think pumpkins were a good choice for displaying shot vs watermelons that most people like to use they typically explode regardless of what you throw at them
Thank you. We were out for demonstration, not entertainment. I think that's why most go with watermelons. Those can make just about anything look impressive. We wanted to show the actual projectile effect.
@@GBGuns I'm glad you did, good job. If I ever make a video I'm using pumpkins. Or actually, any other fruit/vegetables that you have tried that mimic real life.... Uh.. Effects?
Very helpful video, I only own pistols & revolvers at the moment. Gonna rewatch this whenever I pick up my first shotgun 👍
Thanks this is awesome I’m new to firearms but have a love for 12gauge guns I’m not sure where it come from but this is an awesome tutorial on 12 gauge ammunition
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Good for the new folks!
Thanks for keeping it short and sweet! Many people like to get complicated with their explanations (too much fluff)
Like the rain, like the pumpkins and hadn't seen a mag fed pump action. Always more to learn. Great video!
Thank you. Haha, Oregon in the fall: plenty of rain and pumpkins
Ok thank you I was looking for a video that explains shotgun shells and the way you explained it made me understand it a little better
Just found your channel after watching you drink and answer questions with some AK Guy that I've been binge watching. First off I'm glad you were able to show him what good vodka is with the Crater. Secondly now I'll be binge watching your channel as well. Remember if you want to get out of the rain for some shooting there's a few good places over here in the gorge.
Welcome to the channel! Brandon's a friend of mine, but our channels are very different. Hell yeah to some Crater Lake Vodka!
Actually we could use a place for an upcoming photo shoot for Ballistic magazine with a VERY badass rifle. Can you contact us on the GBGuns Facebook page?
R.I.P. TREMENDO
GRACIAS 👍
Thank you for the video! Now I know more when shopping at the local store.
Thank you for the lesson.
Again, kudos to you guys for carrying on in the "normal" Oregon weather. :) Hopefully you guys didn't catch a cold doing that.
Awesome video w visual demo
Great video. Very helpful
Exactly what I needed thank you!
It can be bewildering at first, but is pretty simple once you understand the system.
Good information, easy to understand.
Thank you, that was my goal with this video. I remember how bewildered I was the first time I saw a shelf of shotgun ammo.
I love that Slugs... Wew
Like the Use of the KFC containers 😅👍🏽
They were a great size for this and no we weren't planning on ever putting food in them again.
sds imports .I got nickel Tokarev tx3 shotty. love it!!
i love " this is not scientific" means a great to just shoot ...lol , good vid
Thx you
Thanks great video
Great info thank you
Good job
👍🏻
I love kfc
I'm surprised the slug didn't pulverize the pumpkin. Which slug did you use?
in regards to shell length... You used the words smaller and larger/bigger instead of shorter and longer, was this for a certain reason, that seems confusing. To me that would be 20 ga in a 12 ga chamber for example.
Well done overall, thank you
Good point. Human error, I tried to simplify things as much as possible with this for the new folks
This guy's alrite with me.
why english shells are much faster than italian shells, and often all the english cartridge components are italians ?
So I’ll be mostly shooting paper targets at a range. Should I stick with smaller pellets for this? I know I can’t use slugs at the range but I’m not sure about buckshot.
If it's just paper and to have a good time the only downfall to bird shot is you'll destroy your targets pretty quickly. Otherwise they're cheaper, more available, and have less recoil.
I’d be worried about ricochets off the rocky berm
We've fired thousands of rounds there over the years and not had one piece come back atus,not one ding on the car either
What would you say is the best home defense round for a 12g ?
Good video. See mine as a comparison for clays cartridges!
Wow. No dislikes
The ounce means pellets weight or the powder weight?
Projectile weight, just as the grain weight is for rifles and pistols.
How do i tell if i am buying high brass or low brass??
It's usually not labeled, but in general heavier loads and higher velocities will be "high brass". If you can open the box, high brass has appreciably more brass to the cartridge
Pumpkin hunting, be vewi quiet.
Shooting into rocks?
Yup, soft lead against hard rocks at distance is fine. We wear eye protection and a hat with a bill, never had anything come back at us. There has been more spall come over the walls at my local shooting range than stuff come back from shooting at the quarry.
How to buy
Certainly not on TH-cam!
Great informative video. Want an education? Go to GB Guns and schooled.
More like a short range anti aircraft rifle 🤣🤣
Thumbs up.
