00:00:07
[Applause]
00:00:14
[Applause]
00:00:16
think the answer is
00:00:18
yes
00:00:21
woo buy
00:00:23
[Music]
00:00:28
buy oh
00:00:30
man leaving some
00:00:33
[Music]
00:00:34
rusts let's do some
00:00:37
shooting 12 gauge buck shot to most
00:00:40
people it's the end all Beall
00:00:42
self-defense round can you just go to
00:00:44
the store and buy any old 12 gauge
00:00:46
buckshot and expect it to do the trick
00:00:50
the answer is no I'm going to set up
00:00:52
some paper out here today and I'm going
00:00:53
to show you four different shotguns all
00:00:55
12 gauge and we're going to Showcase two
00:00:57
different ammunitions one of them we'll
00:00:59
call the budget variety and one of them
00:01:01
will be the more high-end uh premium
00:01:04
variety and we're just going to see what
00:01:07
they do on paper at differences and I'm
00:01:09
going to show you why this is important
00:01:11
for you to know if you keep a 12 gauge
00:01:13
buckshot at home for self-defense let's
00:01:16
dig right into
00:01:20
it that's all you got to do just make
00:01:24
that sound and the bad guy
00:01:26
splits probably not man there are so
00:01:29
many BS myths around the 12 gauge and
00:01:32
Buckshot and that is what we're going to
00:01:33
talk about today one important
00:01:36
discussion point that we're going to
00:01:37
head in the woods and I'm going to show
00:01:39
you and this one thing can save your
00:01:41
life or somebody else's I think it's
00:01:43
that important and that's why we're
00:01:45
going to talk about it Mickey withc
00:01:46
trainer.com first things first shotguns
00:01:49
were my first love I grew up shooting 12
00:01:51
gauge shotguns my first firearm as like
00:01:53
a 12-year-old was an 870 pump I still
00:01:57
have her she's my most prized firearm
00:01:59
even though I got stuff that's worth way
00:02:01
more money through anything from clay
00:02:04
pigeons to corn cobs up in the air
00:02:07
trying to figure out how to point that
00:02:10
gun and that's how we're taught to shoot
00:02:13
birds and clay pigeons I was a hunter
00:02:15
safety instructor in Illinois and the
00:02:17
idea of taking a young person or an
00:02:19
adult and teaching them to track a bird
00:02:22
does not carry over to something like
00:02:26
this a
00:02:27
dedicated quote unquote tactical self-
00:02:31
protection style shotgun in fact FN in
00:02:35
this situation here who's been around a
00:02:38
long long time and produced Firearms uh
00:02:41
for many militaries and many law
00:02:43
enforcement agencies put a site on this
00:02:46
one that looks pretty much like a rifle
00:02:48
site in fact I'm sure this has gone on
00:02:51
rifles it's got a front sight a rear
00:02:53
sight it's got a pick rail on here that
00:02:56
you can mount different types of Optics
00:02:59
on like
00:03:01
my Beretta 1301 here this one sexed up
00:03:04
by Lon tactical look at that Beretta put
00:03:07
a really beefy front sight on there
00:03:10
Beretta's 500 years old they're the
00:03:12
oldest firearm manufacturer on the
00:03:14
planet if they put a front sight on it
00:03:17
they want controlled aim and of course I
00:03:19
to this one off with an aim point
00:03:21
because I really want to be able to aim
00:03:24
but why why bother it's Buckshot all you
00:03:27
have to do is take that pump as We Know
00:03:30
Pump It point it down the hallway and
00:03:33
the buck shot will just do the rest well
00:03:37
news flash you're going to see some
00:03:39
stuff out in the woods today that might
00:03:40
change your mind and I'm going to show
00:03:42
you why it's important that you do what
00:03:44
we're going to do so here's what we're
00:03:46
going to do I've got four Firearms I've
00:03:47
got the one in my hand right now this is
00:03:49
a Mossberg 500 very basic pump why do I
00:03:52
like these one they're very affordable
00:03:54
they're very reliable they're very
00:03:55
durable they're very easy to maintain
00:03:57
and use I am right-hand dominant I'm a
00:04:01
right-handed person but I am blind in
00:04:04
this eye so that's why you see me
00:04:05
shooting long guns in my left hand I can
00:04:09
work this safety easier than I can the
00:04:14
uh safety mounted on the trigger guard
00:04:17
so that's one reason I really like these
00:04:19
this is more of an Ambi style safety
00:04:21
mounted up on top of the receiver Food
00:04:24
For Thought very basic shotgun 18 1 12
00:04:28
in Barrel here and this one is a a
00:04:30
cylinder boore cylinder boore nobody
00:04:32
behind the camera guys this little guy
00:04:34
right here the Shockwave also a Mossberg
00:04:36
basically the exact same action you know
00:04:38
from here to here different length
00:04:40
barrel different length magazine tube
00:04:43
and of course it does not have the rear
00:04:45
stock everything else is pretty much the
00:04:49
same also a cylinder Bard technically
00:04:52
not considered a shotgun not considered
00:04:54
a rifle not considered a pistol it's
00:04:56
like a an other kind of a deal here um
00:05:00
this has got that cylinder bore what the
00:05:02
heck does that mean what is a cylinder
00:05:04
bore let's look at a couple more things
00:05:06
and we'll talk about that if I point
00:05:08
this Baretta out here this beautiful
00:05:12
Italian shatan you probably see up at
00:05:16
the muzzle a line and what you're
00:05:18
looking at is one of these dudes this is
00:05:22
called a choke tube what's a choke tube
00:05:24
a choke tube does exactly what the first
00:05:27
word says it chokes the tube why would I
00:05:31
want to choke the tube so a cylinder is
00:05:35
pretty much that it's a cylinder uh it's
00:05:38
a lot it's think of an old sought off
00:05:39
shotgun there might be some constriction
00:05:42
but it's basically we're choking that
00:05:45
tube down and the more we choke it the
00:05:47
more we compress the payload of shot
00:05:50
together hoping that as it travels out
00:05:52
it stays together longer so if we take
00:05:55
something like this with a cylinder it's
00:05:58
going to start to open up pretty dang
00:06:01
quickly same thing with this FN I've got
00:06:04
a uh modified on that Beretta and
00:06:07
improved on the FN and then cylinders
00:06:11
here basically cylinder improved
00:06:15
modified in Full full would be the
00:06:18
tightest uh choke and there's some other
00:06:20
ones in there depending on the choke
00:06:22
maker but I thought I'd show you these
00:06:25
uh most shotguns that have them there's
00:06:28
a few proprietary ones come with a
00:06:30
little wrench and of course muzzle in a
00:06:32
safe direction if you're really doing it
00:06:34
right pull the barrel off or break the
00:06:36
action apart and you can unscrew these
00:06:38
and put new ones in usually guys will
00:06:41
put grease on them so that you can get
00:06:42
them back out uh uh choke grease is a
00:06:46
very heavy grease anyway I've got
00:06:49
purposely different
00:06:51
chokes purposely little tiny barrel and
00:06:56
much longer barrel for the discussion
00:06:59
and I'm going to take a piece of
00:07:00
cardboard piece of paper actually a big
00:07:03
B27 target we're going to put it up at
00:07:05
10 yards and I'm going to fire one of
00:07:09
these and one of these out of each
00:07:11
firearm what are we looking at this is a
00:07:14
cier in below or some people like to
00:07:16
call it Cellar and bellet which is I
00:07:19
believe made in the Czech Republic now
00:07:21
this ammunition why am i showing you
00:07:23
this yep Czech Republic this ammunition
00:07:27
is budget uh it's cheap stuff you buy in
00:07:30
cases I've got cases of it this on the
00:07:34
other hand is usamade federal this is
00:07:37
the uh exact number on this one the
00:07:40
number is important is the Le
00:07:44
12700 which stands for double A Buck uh
00:07:47
both 2 and 3/4 inch both nine
00:07:51
pellet uh both 12 gauge of course and
00:07:56
you're going to see a vast difference
00:07:57
they both are made of plastic and brass
00:08:00
in
00:08:00
fact almost zero looks different on the
00:08:04
outside make no mistake this video is
00:08:07
not a sales pitch for one of these
00:08:09
shells what it is is a sales pitch for
00:08:12
you to get out and do the experiment
00:08:14
that we're about to
00:08:15
do one of the things that I think we
00:08:18
fail at is when we're looking at this is
00:08:20
we assume that all of these
00:08:24
pellets are going to make an individual
00:08:26
hole nine pellets and that's a good
00:08:29
thing we think okay that's nine
00:08:31
opportunities for us to punch a
00:08:33
hole there's some truth to that but what
00:08:36
stops bad guys is not just little holes
00:08:39
through your skin it's a transfer of
00:08:42
energy a transfer of this payload that's
00:08:46
causing trauma right trauma we drop the
00:08:48
blood pressure fast enough that the body
00:08:52
can't maintain so when we bleed out we
00:08:55
don't die because we have no blood we
00:08:56
die or we cease to continue to fight
00:08:59
because our brain is no longer
00:09:01
oxygenated you can choke somebody out in
00:09:03
a Jiu-Jitsu training in seconds and they
00:09:06
go unconscious because of oxygen
00:09:09
deprivation to the
00:09:11
brain this and this are carrying the
00:09:14
same payload but how those payloads are
00:09:16
delivered to the soft tissue to the Bony
00:09:19
structures of the body is very different
00:09:22
so here's what I want to do it's cold as
00:09:23
heck out we're going to head out to the
00:09:24
range and I'm going to take each of
00:09:26
these and I am going to fire two rounds
00:09:29
to reach we'll chat a little bit out
00:09:30
there and we'll Circle back let's
00:09:33
go and here we go let's get into a
00:09:36
little 12 gauge goodness I've got a
00:09:38
smattering of some Firearms here I'm
00:09:40
going to show you all of them got a
00:09:41
Mossberg pump we've got a Beretta
00:09:44
sexified by my friends at langon we've
00:09:47
got the little shorty Mossberg and then
00:09:49
I've got one of my favorite shies a very
00:09:51
accessible FN which is based off the
00:09:54
Browning action and I've got a
00:09:56
smattering of some shells here check
00:09:59
this out do I look the part I am
00:10:03
freezing my nips off 21st of December
00:10:07
20124 it is cold as a witch's titty as
00:10:11
they say or said I don't even know if
00:10:13
you're allowed to say that anymore but I
00:10:15
just did here's what my goal is I've got
00:10:17
some cardboard up out here and I'm going
00:10:19
to be using a very basic
00:10:24
standard Target here and we're going to
00:10:27
pattern them on Fresh pieces of of paper
00:10:29
for each uh round and each gun and we're
00:10:33
going to look at the distances that we
00:10:36
need to be considering with these
00:10:38
firearms for self- protection let's get
00:10:40
right into it all right so here is our
00:10:43
B27 brand new piece I'll put one up for
00:10:46
each got a little GoPro a and we'll
00:10:50
start out with this
00:10:54
sweet Beretta okay 10 yards we've got
00:10:56
the Beretta this is the 1301 tactical
00:11:00
and we'll start out with a budget ammo
00:11:03
this is the cier and booy or seller and
00:11:06
bellet this is the uh 2 and 3/4 N9 piece
00:11:10
double A Buck again I call it budget
00:11:12
because that's kind of what it is I'll
00:11:14
shoot this up at the head then we will
00:11:15
swap over to a Federal
00:11:19
Premium also a 2 and 3/4 9 pellet
00:11:22
believe that that stuff is um copper
00:11:26
coated so eyes and ears on the Range the
00:11:28
GoPro is
00:11:31
rolling woo that spread out a little bit
00:11:33
more than I thought it was going
00:11:36
to that spread out a little bit more and
00:11:39
now we will run that Federal the premium
00:11:43
I had to lose the the headgear so exact
00:11:46
same distance out here exact same
00:11:48
distance uh except now I'm going to
00:11:50
shoot the low torso so here we go eyes
00:11:53
and ears on the
00:11:56
Range wow significant difference so I'm
00:12:00
going to get rid of the beteta I'm going
00:12:01
to run you guys down range real quick
00:12:04
let's check this out so that's
00:12:06
staggering to me staggering so you go to
00:12:09
the store here's the budget so it looks
00:12:13
like we got about an 8 in spread this is
00:12:16
the Beretta again at 10 yards with the
00:12:19
celerin bot now same distance same gun
00:12:24
same choke same
00:12:26
shooter the Federal Premium check that
00:12:29
out night and freaking day this one's
00:12:33
got rounds blowing off the head that one
00:12:37
is a 2-in group that's crazy let's
00:12:40
switch it
00:12:42
up and now a Mossberg 500 pump we'll
00:12:46
start out with the budget ammo head shot
00:12:48
same distance everything else I'll put
00:12:50
some information up on screen about this
00:12:52
particular Blaster eyes and
00:12:57
ears all right right there's the
00:13:01
cheapy all right there's the
00:13:04
cheapy felt pretty good uh kind of what
00:13:08
we would expect with that wide load wide
00:13:11
load now we'll hit it with the premium
00:13:14
here we go you ready eyes and
00:13:19
ears all right guns cleared out let's
00:13:21
get you down range just an FYI I'm out
00:13:23
here alone kids so I'm running around
00:13:27
very similar look at that head
00:13:31
same
00:13:32
gun completely different animal
00:13:35
completely different animal now you see
00:13:36
two big holes there one of those is the
00:13:39
wadding one of those is the wadding
00:13:42
that's stuffed into the uh shell to help
00:13:44
hold everything
00:13:46
together again 10 yards Mossberg 500
00:13:49
pump and now one of my favorite shies
00:13:53
this is the FNS
00:13:55
LP based on a very widely sold Browning
00:14:01
action same Target same budget load to
00:14:05
the head I there's some gloves on man
00:14:07
it's getting freaking cold out here are
00:14:10
you ready and here we go head
00:14:14
shot and here we go head
00:14:19
shot very nice very nice
00:14:24
and now the federal you can see see uh
00:14:30
this is a more purpose-built gun like
00:14:32
that Beretta for the things that we're
00:14:34
doing
00:14:36
uh man I'm just looking at it in
00:14:38
amazement here we go Federal round 10
00:14:44
yards 10
00:14:49
y let's get down there and take a peek
00:14:52
never ceases to amaze me the difference
00:14:55
so some good information here so check
00:14:58
that that out 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 uh-oh 1 2
00:15:04
3 4 5 6 7 8 so one of those went over
00:15:09
now look at this this is
00:15:11
misleading 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 I'm sure
00:15:15
Nine's in there this is the wadding that
00:15:19
is not the shot shell or rather the shot
00:15:22
itself so all of that shot energy the
00:15:26
actual lead is right here this is the
00:15:29
the wadding I can cut a shell apart to
00:15:31
show you guys so what's the difference
00:15:34
why is the budget round spreading out so
00:15:36
much let's take a look inside one versus
00:15:40
the other
00:15:42
[Music]
00:16:01
there it is so this sucker right here is
00:16:06
why the premium shell does a better job
00:16:10
so the inner to the shotgun shell I cut
00:16:12
two apart you can see the primer in
00:16:14
there so the powder would have gone just
00:16:16
on top of that that's what's out here
00:16:18
then this little guy it's called a
00:16:21
wadding and in the budget model this
00:16:23
wadding is just like pressed paper some
00:16:27
type of wood fiber cellulose
00:16:30
use plastic that's the same kind of
00:16:32
shape and there's some sponginess to it
00:16:35
to absorb some energy so that the shot
00:16:37
doesn't get deformed as it sent out the
00:16:39
barrel then of course you've got the
00:16:41
shot itself and uh that's the whole
00:16:44
shell with the premium you've still got
00:16:48
the primer down in there then the powder
00:16:52
and if this one's got copper plated
00:16:55
shot here is the magic so this is a li
00:16:59
product Hornady uses this uh of course
00:17:02
Federal in the ammunition that we're
00:17:03
using today this wadding this flight
00:17:07
control watting this is a patented
00:17:09
product is what keeps that shot in that
00:17:12
tight rigid little payload package the
00:17:16
difference you saw on paper is
00:17:19
astounding the idea is not make a bunch
00:17:22
of little holes it's deliver that
00:17:25
payload to transfer energy you
00:17:29
guys
00:17:31
cheap not
00:17:33
cheap let's get one more gun all right
00:17:37
and then we've got this guy let's see
00:17:40
how this works so this is the Mossberg
00:17:44
shock wave there's a couple makers that
00:17:47
sell these shorties cuz I can't shoulder
00:17:49
it so we'll get her done all right this
00:17:53
is the cheapy I'm going to do my best
00:17:55
and here we
00:17:57
go that did the job
00:17:59
very noisy but we're seeing the result
00:18:02
and now the higher end product here we
00:18:07
go shoot down
00:18:12
low significantly more energy I think
00:18:16
you guys know what we're going to see
00:18:17
down here I'm going to start you up high
00:18:20
so I shot a little to the right one 2 3
00:18:23
4 5 6 7 8 nine there we go so all nine
00:18:28
are in there 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 N9 and then
00:18:32
check this
00:18:33
out different ammo are we seeing
00:18:37
something here that's pretty interesting
00:18:39
I think it is I think I think the data
00:18:43
here is astounding we go to the store we
00:18:45
see this stuff we're like 12 gauge Buck
00:18:47
is 12 gauge Buck the answer is no it's
00:18:51
not we just saw a very basic
00:18:54
demonstration with four wildly different
00:18:56
shotguns
00:18:58
and we saw a very similar result at
00:19:01
these distances now the argument could
00:19:02
be well what happens if we go to 50
00:19:04
yards or 30 yards you're going to see
00:19:06
differences I picked a distance that is
00:19:08
about the width of an average large room
00:19:11
in a home 30 ft
00:19:14
right get your gear get out on the Range
00:19:18
if this is the stuff that you're going
00:19:19
to have cool man nothing wrong with it
00:19:22
but understand what it's going to do
00:19:24
down a hallway across a courtyard in a
00:19:27
wide open space
00:19:29
understand the purpose of Buckshot from
00:19:32
a self-defense standpoint isn't to get
00:19:35
big and wide it's not to not aim it's
00:19:38
not to just spray and prey the purpose
00:19:41
is a massive transfer of energy massive
00:19:45
transfer of energy so that you can
00:19:46
incapacitate and stop whatever it is
00:19:49
that's trying to hurt you or hurt other
00:19:51
people so the moral of today's lesson
00:19:53
one film the stuff when it's not
00:19:56
freaking 0 degrees two test the gear
00:20:01
that you have to save your life Mickey
00:20:02
with car trainer.com it is almost
00:20:04
Christmas 2024 I hope that wherever
00:20:07
you're at your life is filled with peace
00:20:09
and love and happiness and if you need
00:20:11
to be violent to protect your life or
00:20:13
somebody else I hope that you have
00:20:15
