A few questions have come up: The effect of choke on velocity would be negligible. I didn't shoot slugs because the point had been made by the bird and buck shot and because at present slugs can be hard to find at the local stores.
Also we have several presentations that feature demonstrations of shotgun patterns with different chokes at different ranges.
Can you do pistol barrel length next please?
Would you consider comparing the buck shot effectiveness on meat targets from the various length barrels? You showed the 14” barrel produces less velocity, but is it not effective on a meat target? Thanks for all the great vids!!
That suprema looked like it had party poppers in it.
Hey man, or "Hey Paul", if that is all right. I was wondering, why is it that you represent the difference between comparisons in feet per second (distance over time).
When you "crunch" the numbers I sometimes wonder why and if the nominal speed is more important than the relative speed. But then I remember that kinetic energy also increases in the power of two.
I love your videos and I'm not sure what I am asking but:
Do you take percentage increase into consideration?
Do you take kinetic energy into consideration?
That being said, thanks man,
V
Dumb question, does any difference in velocity have to do with the muzzle being closer to the chronograph? If muzzles were all at 4 yds, would there be such a big difference? Thanks for your videos!
Paul most likely has the highest amount of people who love *all* of his content and always thinks we don't like his "ramblings", even though we very much do.
never held a gun in my hands yet here I'm waiting for occasional anecdote
I second this motion.
The rambling is among the best things in his videos.
Only his jokes are even better.
Yeah, I was hoping for a video around half an hour long.
Yeah i agree. Demolition ranch and all those channels are just disposable videos for casuals, i prefer in depth
My granddaughter listened to Paul Harrell videos when she was still in the womb. She will be graduating marine corps basic training soon, and will be 6 in may.
Comments on Paul’s videos are always top tier but you sir win today hands down.
Got a belly laugh out of that one, damn that was funny!
A daughter raised properly.... Well Done !
Oooorah! SFMF
OUTSTANDING!
We need a Paul Harrell "lemme tell you an anecdote" compilation.
It would be hours long and I'd watch every minute!
Anecdotes kind of need context right?
@@spearspearspear no, they might help illustrate a point being made in a lecture but an anecdote should be able to stand up on it's own as a story, and from what I can remember of Paul's anecdotes they will.
@@spearspearspear Most of his anecdotes are told in enough detail to stand on their own as interesting stories
@@CrizzyEyes ok, let's call it Paul Harrell's Story Time!
Paul working that Mosin like it owes him money.
Mosins don't like to be babied. It only functions well when operated forcefully.
Thats the proper manual of arms for almost every Russian firearm.
If you treat it gently it will have so much contempt for you that it will have no choice but to let some Nazi come and violate you with his bayonet in order to encourage you to grow a pair.
@@leroybrady4288 Looks awkward as fuck. It's been over twenty years since I used my father's Lithgow Lee Enfield, but there's no way I'd trade that for this.
That first one really didn't want to cycle.
0:39 did anyone else expect paul to pull a shotgun out of his pocket?
Yes, yes I did!
Yes!
Paul doesn't speculate or draw any conclusions from the results. He just gives us the raw data because...you be the judge.
I also like that he shows his work.
@@shawnr771 Yeah, lots of youtubers tell you what they think but do absolutely no work or testing. Paul is the opposite: does the science and lets you make your own judgments.
If I'm shooting birds or clay pigeons, I want a long barrel...about 28 or 30 inches. If I'm shooting intruders in my house,
a 20 or 18 inch barrel will do. I would go so far as to use a shorter barrel, like 14 inches, but it's illegal, and I'm allergic
to lawyers, judges and prison. If I'm in bear country, I would buy a Remington 870 (used), with a 30 inch barrel and cut off the
choke to make it approx. 28 inches. The reason why I'd buy a used shotgun is I don't trust modern gun makers. Also, I'm a cheapskate.
mu99ins Trusting a modern Remington would be foolish, nut mossberg makes top notch shotguns
Let us just all agree that Paul Harrell is a national treasure.
I am glad we all agree.
The only way he could be more American is if he were Canadian.
I'm in!
Sorry, but i'd dare to say international treasure!
I steal his garbage and roll in it.
I enjoy watching Paul shoot. He racks his shotgun as if his arm is part of an automatic reloader.
The ATF has declared Paul’s arm a machine gun part. Paul must register his arm with the ATF.
i was just thinking that how he doesn't get ahead of the recoil to load another round faster, he has it well timed like a well oiled metronome
He made a vid about that sometime ago.
Train how you intend to fight. I learned to shoot hunting with my grandpa and some habits i picked up then have been helpful but I've had to work to get rid of others that were not. Things like immediately racking the slide as soon as you fire are important in a tactical sense but less so when hunting, unless you need to take a second shot. It's been fun trying to become a better, more tactically sound shooter but I wish I'd learned that way to start with.
I was taught to rack any manually operated weapon directly after firing to prevent spooking wildlife (or whatever) with the additional noise after the shot. Kind of like a one shot kill. Hard to pinpoint where 1 came from. You can gauge position from subsequent shots (or noise) Awesome video as always.
Paul Harrell is the only CZcams creator that I get upset when the video is *only* 10 minutes long
One day we will look back at Paul Harrell's "beer" era videos and have a hearty chuckle.
Amen!
At least, most of us will.
What does a chuckle sound like. Chuck chuck chuck chuck. Wtf
1/7th -Cav. 1972C.I.B , but you’re not allowed to chuckle anymore. We’re at the end of a barely-above-average cold and flue season, so obviously the world is ending and we’re all going to die.

-Paul Harrell
Thats an understatement.
Just heard Kentucky Ballistics refer to the "Paul Harrell Slap".
Ha! Did he put the ejector rod through his hand or bend it?
It was in good fun. For the people that don't follow his channel czcams.com/video/IklTy7shTAU/video.html
@@balljointfd3s thanks for the link
Gonna have to coin that phrase, shorter. How's "Give it the PH-slap" sound?
To “ Harrell it “ a strong motion with the palm of the hand on an ejector rod
QUESTION: Who is Paul training at these multiple training facilities and what are they learning? I want in. Thumbs up if you want in too.
It's classified. He could tell you, but then he'd have to kill you.
That is the Disaster Contingency Specialists’ secret training facility. It’s somewhere in Oregon.... that’s all I know about it.
Delta Force used to look dreadful when wearing catalogue shooting jackets rumour is they now look hard as nails in them. Connected? You be the judge.
Is it not a euphemism for shooting at a buddy's property?
@@MountainPF
You know too much. Paul wants to know your location. 😳😁
Where can I get a jacket like that? Every time he puts his hand in there, he pulls out cool stuff.
It's a Narnia jacket
Hes the manly mary poppins
Vintage 1960s Sears Hunting Jacket eBay
It requires a handy haversack , some sewing Implements and a high enough crafting skill
He made a whole video about them. Look it up lol. I asked the same thing and then it was in my feed.
I would have liked to see some more tedious chronograph results with rifled slugs.
Came here to say this.
@@Stephen_Moran Me too! Semper Fi, TreeTop
same, also the rifled slugs in rifled barrel, but he made that video already. but i forgot exactly what was the difference so i would have wanted to see it again.
All you would get is another new set of numbers, and a chance to watch Paul shoot. Since shot acts like a slug at close range, simply running a batch of solid projectiles through the same guns really wont mean much.
Sounds like it could make for a good part 2 at some point.
Last time I was this early Caleb was still drinking his whiskey with an iceberg
Just curious, Paul doesn’t mention him but you guys can’t do the same?
LOL! Outstanding!
@bokudensuduharagmail Dewars is whiskey-with-the-e, but it most certainly is not whisky.
He drinks it cuz hes "a cool dude!"
@Booge Nautilus He does have a point, though. Jokes have a finite lifespan after which they cease to be funny and just become cringeworthy, lame, or downright pathetic. Ever consider that you, as fans, affect Mr. Harrell's reputation? The fact that people keep bringing up that manchild Giddings rather than letting him fade into well-deserved oblivion could imply that Paul himself is still thinking about that lowlife, and I'm pretty sure that he is not. I'm also sure that he doesn't want to waste the years he has left thinking about that turd anymore either.
Using every video of Paul's to bring up Giddings makes you no better than that manchild. You're only giving him more undeserved fame, so forget about him and let it rest. There are far funnier things to joke about.
I use a 0 inch barrel for home defense and let the pellets be the judge.
Burglars just have to put up with the Shatner-esque...pauses you make after each shot to see what you hit, and the speech impediment you get from the muzzle flash.
-0.5 inch barrel
Is it effective?
Just get a Mossberg and have no barrel 👀 might shoot the mag tube but it'll shoot
Yes, it's called a hand grenade.
Your handling of the Mossberg Shockwave is admirable.
Did you see the clip of Ian from In Range giving the Mossberg rep at Shot Show the 3rd degree over it's most likely to smack you in the face if you try to sight it?
@@repletereplete8002 It's an easy gun to shoot providing your not a 140lb wet noodle.
Just watching him shoot the buckshot in that thing made my right hand hurt.
@@rob.3575 yeah I think Ian was talking about inexperienced shotgun shooters using it for home defence and buying it based on it's looks.
@@repletereplete8002 I believe Ian once said that the Mossberg Shockwave was the least enjoyable gun he's ever shot, indicating that his wrist hurt for some time after shooting it.
thank you Paul for making the Shotguns: How Does Barrel Length Affect Velocity video.
Imagine being able to talk as clearly and as concisely as Paul Harrell.
I love how he just sighs as he resigns himself to shooting the Mosin lol. I think many people have the same reaction.
I've only shot one and it was quite literally the least accurate gun I've ever shot due to the shot out barrel. You have a higher chance of having all your buckshot pellets go through the same hole at 20 yards than to get 2 bullets out of this thing to hit a clay pigeon at 15ish yards (it literally took 10 shots until I got lucky and one went straight enough to hit it). Still enjoyed shooting it, and I would totally buy one just for the sake of owning one
Those things rock. They were dirt cheap 10 years ago. I can't shoot for shit but my son from a standing position knocked out a 2 liter bottle at about 80 yards. I was impressed! But those things are brutal to shoot.
Ten minutes old already over 300 likes everyone loves Paul and his jacket and lets not forget the coronagraph

Look at the chronagraph at 8.39 it's having a bit of a moment.
Didn't notice the clever use of the term coronagraph at first.
Woah! First time I have seen Paul bring out a pair of Mosin-Nagants. I'd love to see Paul do an in-depth review of these rifles.
I was actually somewhat disappointed that this was so short. Well done, as usual, Paul! You make the "quarantine" a little easier.
lol no definitive meat target results for this episode that's why...
Yeah, the video could certainly include testing the speed of the slugs out of all those shotguns.
@@lenscap8925 Good point, would've been interesting to see how those speed differences translate into penetration and damage on the meat target.
I don't know about anyone else but I enjoy the beautiful scenery in Paul's videos as much as the content. Makes me want to point the wagon west.

Gotta love that smooth action of the Mosin :)

demo ranch is annoying, i unsubbed as soon as he started making intros a couple years back. He’s a grown man and acts like a cheesy teenager. paul, hickock and others similar are easier to relate to.

2 additional reasons why I like Paul's content.
@Infectious Legume get yer eyes checked
Longer barrels makes pellets go vroom
Wishing he'd done some slugs.
Wait til he chrono's his punt gun !!
Women too...
i'd supercharged my shotgun if i had one..
So I guess that a side by side should go...
Vroom! Vroom!
Love how Paul skirted the censors about mentioning the virus.
Perhaps, But If Virus Had A Taste, That Would Be It & If Paul Were A Beer, I'm Thinking It Wouldn't Be That . . .
If the virus caught paul, would that be the end of it? You be the judge.
Even though I live in a country with really strict gun laws, and I don't find myself attracted to owning one, I do find Paul's videos as an incredible source if in hands information for everything gun/ammo related. I've often found myself sitting down and paying really close attention to everything he says and the different in depths trials he makes every gun go through. Plus as an added bonus besides the information, his videos are always really entertaining all around. I've always enjoyed this type of content and I'm thankful of Paul for making all of these videos :)
1 a.m in Poland, nothing better than a new video from Poul Harrel while waiting for 17j+ air gun license XD
In finland we can own air rifles/pistols up to 6.35mm caliber without any license but must be 18 years to buy one. No limit how much joules or velocity they have. If some reasons you need bigger then you will need permit to buy or own one. Existing license to real firearm will also give you permission to buy so called hight power air rifle but those must still be registered.
But that caliber matters only if weapon is made to shoot metallic projectiles. So those shotgun like co2 powered rubber ball guns are still allowed to buy if 18 years old.

Another Paul Harrell video; life is good!
The way Mr. Harrell runs these shotguns is quite admiral! In particular those pistol gripped Shorty's, makes it look easy! Excellent presention as always guys. Stay safe and God bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!!!
The Mosin-Nagant part made me think... we haven't seen Paul use many bolt-actions before, have we?
Yes, I Think He's Got A WinMag .338 Or .300, Something Like That . . .
He's used them before, but I think this is the first time he has fired one on camera.
the man know how to pump a shotgun. that's for sure.
Paul can fire a pump faster than I can fire a semi auto.
"pullrack", in one word
I usually shoot quite a bit faster than the guys with auto loaders.
Careful w the fast rack. You could cause a "malfunction"
And he got some videos on it.
I literally just binged all the presentations on shotguns from you. Also congrats in advance for 500k
I swear Paul has the best viewers on CZcams. The comments are always as entertaining as the videos.
I love how Paul is fighting with those Mosins, just to cycle them 😄
Paul you brought up an interesting point about the cost in ammo of making these videos during the current beer crisis. Thank you sir for going the extra mile making these video comparisons complete and not just shooting a round or two. Your technique for getting real definitive info to share is top notch. Much respect here sir.
Mosin looks great in Paul's hands. When I want to hit something really hard I use my Mosin.
... no fun.

Auto-captions reads the gunshots as “applause” which is accurate
Paul Harrell
Testing shotgun velocities and barrel length is interesting and not as simple as it might seem. Because all shotgun barrels can have much different inside dimensions and designs unlike rifle or pistol barrels. The general rule is modern shotgun ammunition reaches maximum velocities in about the first 24-inches of barrel or less on average. However, Mossberg makes 12-bore guns with overbore barrels the same diameter as 10-bore guns. Other manufactures use different diameter tubes as well. The idea is to improve shot patterns, improve consistent velocities, reduce recoil, shorten shot strings and reduce deformation of shot. Some use a combination of forcing cone length, bore diameter, choke length and choke constriction regulated for the purpose the shotgun is designed to be used for. That is why some shotguns cost $300 dollars and some cost $3,000 dollars or a great deal more. Generally low cost guns provide less than perfect results. Not to say some do an excellent job and still are very economical too. This often depends on the ammunition you use. Finding it is more difficult to find than finding the best performing pistol or rifle ammunition. High velocity is the least important if it patterns poorly at the range you plan on using it. In most cases high velocity is the major cause of poor pattern results. Small size shot is most affected and that is a major issue with some steel shot loads too. Generally speaking; if you shoot any person intent on doing you harm with .410 bore skeet load or a 12-bore at 7-yards. One might make less mess, but be assured the results will be the same.
Seeing you with those Mosins makes me wanna see a video on the dofferences between .30cal rounds. Specifically the .308 vs .7.62x54r vs .30-06
What's the difference between a clown car and Paul Harrell's coat?
Paul's coat dosen't have clowns in it, just guns. Lots and lots of guns.
Someone needs to cut Paul pulling guns from his pockets into the Matrix where Neo says he needs lots of guns.
Paul you should not say "time to do some tedious chronograph testing and see what we learn" and instead say "time to do some awesome,fun,entertaining,knowledge gaining chronograph testing and all learn something we might not have known before." ;-) keep up the awesome videos my good man , really enjoy the content here in Canuckastan as we are about to lose more gun choices here.
I appreciate a lot you’re job in CZcams keep going and your videos with shotguns I cannot stop watch them 👌🏾
When you hit the 500k sub marker, can you give us at least 2hrs worth of "Joe" stories to celebrate????
Oh snap. I asked about this in a comment the other week.
He always listens. I also got my question addressed in one of his videos
I got about 1k likes on we need a Paul Harrell cooking show, and a ton of funny comments from his entertaining fans. We got a cooking show.
Coincidence?
You be the judge.
One of the BEST utube guns channels ever. A side note I like shotguns!
Thanks again Mr. Harrell! It's always great to watch your videos. No matter how much you think you know, there is always something to learn. Thank You
Hi Paul. New subscriber, here. Your channel is SUCH a gold mine. How incredible it is to find someone with so much expertise, and training who is motivated on making quality videos about such a wide range of subjects. Someone who comes up with so many good experiments for people like me who can’t get out as often, to take into account on my next firearm decisions. I’ve been hooked and I see myself going through your videos one by one. Keep it up, sir. 👍👍
I want to see Paul run an obstacle course. I want to see him in action.
I want to watch Paul shoot at your feet while you run the obstacle course.
It'd probably be rather boring because the obstacle course would know damn well to get out of the way as he walks through.
Thank you Paul for the demonstration of shotgun barrel length vs. velocity. I have to say, I have never seen anyone operate a pump shotgun or pump rifle as fast as I just saw you do. Amazing work. Take care, stay safe and stay well.
Since I own shotguns of those lengths except for the 30 inch this was VERY informative but not surprising. Thank you Paul!!!
Ah yes, the perfect quarantine time killer.
2:00 min is an interesting moment. Seen alotta your content and you’ve never sighed like that. Almost seems as if you’re irate or something. Hope all is well, only natural to be so in this time. Love the content- you’re the most underrated gun CZcamsr out there, glad you’re getting so much support these days
I think it was just an editing slip.
the last time i was this early to a Paul Harrell video Caleb Giddings still had a subscriber base.
Thank you for "sparing" some ammo in these weird "beer" times brother. Great info and video as always...
My wife says barrel length doesn't matter; it's all in the feel of the wood.
You spelled wallet wrong.
🤣
I’m not gonna lie, I was quite happy when he brought out the Mosin’s even if it is a shotgun video.
Love this channel so much, I click on the video[s] just to see the intro and listen to the ending music. But I always watch more than once.
Completely original and Paul Harrell is my all-time favorite youtuber. It's all awesome!
Thanks for all the great videos Paul. From all the shut-ins
Oh Paul, how could you leave out slugs? You’re going to get hammered on this. I’m just teasing you, love your videos.
I was hoping he'd shoot slugs also... was kind of bummed that he didn't.
That sigh & pause he took at 1:57 made me nervous, like when a drill sergeant in basic would start glaring at me. I think he can see through the interwebz.
@Gr8ful yea I think you're right. It's a heavy hitter but the action can be a chore to work. Looked like the carbine had some work to smooth it out possibly.
Imagine The Drill Instructor Ordering Paul To Show Me Your War Face. He Would Never Do It Again!
Paul always knows what i need: just bought a 14 inch barrel for my mossberg and got it in the mail today. If Paul is stalking me I appreciate it and am happy to participate as a meat target

I Changed My Mind. We Should All Call It Paulrack!
Thanks for the content Paul. Informative and entertaining as always.
I wonder if Paul will someday do a monthly Q&A on the channel. Even if he limits the questions to Patreon supporters I think it could become popular. Anybody else agree?
I kept hoping to see a Marlin goose gun with a 36" barrel...ideallly pulled out of Paul's coat pocket.
My 38" gun always chronoed lower than my 26" gun. I figured the pressure dropped from expansion inside the barrel and friction provided more force against the shot than pressure pushed it forward. It did have a fixed full choke though, which might have increased resistance.
Jacob Ackley. how is that gun on the trap line 😄
Ask the person who stood next to him...
@@oimissed1292 pretty decent. It holds excellent patterns with cheap federal #8. The follow through is easy since the momentum carries pretty far forward. Its a bit of a chore using it though, because the balance is awful. It's a light bolt action shotgun, so the barrel is most of the weight.
Your series on shotguns has been very educational and helpful. I opted for a 20 gauge Mossburg 500 as an additional home insurance policy recently. You have confirmed for me in several videos that this was a good choice. It is a weapon that the wife and I can both handle if needed. Hope you have more to say in later videos on shotguns.
Excellent analysis as always. Thank you!
hey Paul, have you ever tested or used Frangible ammunition? It seems like an interesting bullet type and was curious as to your thoughts on the topic.
It would be interesting to see how they perform against the patented meat target
Send him some and he'll shoot them for you.
Great for door hinge breaching, no backscatter.
Draftsman17 Don’t the sky marshals use frangible ammo?
Stupid questions: Does choke play any factor? Did it play a factor here?
Serious answer? ... PROBABLY... but to such a small factor as to be entirely insignificant in any practical sense.
IF we could reproduce PRECISELY the load density and pellet positioning as well as the EXACT velocity (and I mean within +/- 1 fps) from shot to shot, I imagine that choke constriction WOULD actually cause a variation, but I suspect it would only translate to a maximum of perhaps 10 fps, with the open chokes shooting faster than the closed. This would be due to the shot cup actually being slowed comparatively by the choke.
A tight choke will increase velocity slightly. A choke is essentially a nozzle.
Not a stupid question... Actually a good one... Back in the day, a lot of folks thought a longer barrel "shot harder", but barrel length and choke were selected to purpose. A longer barrel with a tighter choke (i.e. 30" full) for pass shooting ducks/ geese both gave range and weight to help follow through the lead. But a long barrel (even with an open choke) is awkward in upland hunting. Not to mention heavy if you're toting it all day through fields and brush. The old guys were more worried about shot size and patterns. Regarding buckshot, shotguns have unique personalities of their own, but a full choke might gain a few fps but at a cost of more deformed pellets and a more random hit pattern.
@Russ Owensby Ditto . . .
Paul, if nothing else, I appreciate you uploading so often during these boring times. I love all of your videos but these frequent uploads are helping with the boredom.

Only Thing I Wish You Would of Done Different Paul Was Test This Theory With 12 Gauge 1oz Rifled Slugs 😎😊😀 Excellent Test Thank You Paul 😊 Best Firearms Channel on CZcams
The slide action on that Wingman is a sight to behold, smoother than smooth. Oh and that Shockwave looks like a piece of crap.
I love the pause before the chronograph, was waiting for the usual disclaimer - but I'd say you achieved the same result with that silence. Also sad I never heard you say the word 'pullrack' in this shotgun video. Nevertheless, great video as always!
That was great Paul, thanks 🙏🏽 Wondered about shotgun rounds vs rifle and handgun as it pertains to barrel length for a long time. I’m very pleased that the chronograph did have any mishaps and really liked how you raised a message to us all in a unique way ;-)

I Troll Around To Other Channels & I Do Occasionally "Like" Miculek & Forgotten Weapons But I've Learned So Much More That I Can Use, Here. Ian Knows A-lot But It's Not Knowledge That's Necessarily Helpful Unless Your Collecting &/Or Working On Military Hardware. So, Raj Is Your Favorite Character? Mine Is Amy . . .
Might wanna check out C&Rsenal. Hour long video on ONE country's RIFLES from WWI? With demonstrations? Very yes.
Sage dynamics is a pretty good channel, he torture tests gear to see what's good and what's not, he tests handgun red dots by beating the crap outta them and usually starts with a 5k round test and goes from there, I think he's got 25k rounds on a trijicon rmr while also dropping it from shoulder height multiple times onto concrete and it's still working and zeroed.
Kentucky Ballistics, because he does different stuff AND has collaborated with Paul.
Do you like demolition ranch?
Just for grins, have you considered doing similar tests with "slug" ammunition?
Tom Terrific he probably would have but with the beer situation he probably can’t afford to, I cannot wait for all this to be over
I Remember That Name From A Long Time Ago & I, Too, Plan On Trying To See If I Can Hit At 50 Yds. With Slugs The Next Time I Go To The Range . . .
Thank you for the quality information, Mr. Harrell.
Great video! Thanks Paul
