      I’ll tell you this from my experience we took a double barrel shotgun and cut it down to about 10 inches and me as a brainiac I put 2 3inch mags in it and when I pulled both triggers let’s just say that was a bad idea Because I ended up with three or four screws in my wrist, and I had to have a long rod on the outside of my arm that had to be tightened down At least 3×4 times a month that sucked so hopefully nobody gets any dumb ideas on here to try this. That’s not a good idea. Single shots fine double barrel bad idea.

    Sawed offs became popular because they were easier to conceal. If you were going to be in an area where you needed a lot of firepower, you would be in close enough range for the sawed off barrel to be effective.

    • @DeadlyElement07
      @DeadlyElement07 Před 3 měsíci +56

      Also the ones seen in the video are double barrel, and I’m not a gun expert but I think a lot of double barrels can fire both rounds either at the same time or in quick succession, essentially doubling the power.

    I think the point of the sawed-off shotgun in movies is to be more powerful than a handgun while still being compact. Which it sure would be. Also, shortening the weapon makes it easier to conceal and carry. Think Kyle Reece in the Terminator. Also, in close quarters combat, a shorter weapon would be easier to handle, move around and aim. Still, people wouldn't fly back like they do in the movies. Mythbusters did an entire episode on this.

      I never understood how anyone would think a bullet can make a person fly back. The mass of a pencil tip hitting the mass of a human. If it is moving fast enough to produce the energy it is going to go straight through. Now a 2000 grain round hitting a plate carrier at 2000+ fps might take you for a ride lol.

      Exactly. If the round hitting someone had enough force to propel someone through the air, physics would dictate the same force equal to the person firing the gun. If the bullet makes the target fly, the shooter would fly with equal force upon discharge.

    • @DarkJak2050
      @DarkJak2050 Před 3 měsíci +5

      Mythbusters also showed clips from older movies, particularly Black & White movies you'll see guys who got shot dead just literally drop dead where they stood. They weren't sent flying backwards by 10 feet.
      They even brought up Newton's 3rd Law of Physics. _For every action (force) in nature, there's an equal and opposite reaction._
      In other words; when the person getting shot gets sent flying from the force of a gunshot, so will the shooter.

      A Ket-tec KSG is /absolutely the wrong shotgun for sporting clays/. 18.1" barrel, no built in choke capacity. But that's what I had. Put an EOtech on it because, holographically, that reticle was 25 yards out in space on the end of a virtual barrel. And I had to shoot fast, because the shot spread /fast/. But all the mass was between my support hand and my shoulder, so it swung fast. I thought I would need a lot of practice, but after the second round, I was pulling 24/25 out of the air consistently. The rules don't mention optics, because what idiot puts an optic on a sporting clays shotgun, but I tell you what: EOtechs are straight up cheating.

    Hey Scott, great content as always! From what I've been reading lately it seems as though much like a rifle, with shotguns barrel length has almost nothing to do with spread and is almost entirely controlled by the choke, barrel length only adds velocity and balance for swing through when hunting or shooting clays. In theory the sawed off should have more 'knock back power' due to the larger impact area as you mentioned, as long as its energy was high enough from the lower velocity, it would have been cool to see if that effect was intensified with something like #8 birdshot to evenly spread the impact energy even more. Could be a fun video idea to rig something to test knock back power over penetration and maybe even include some different chokes for 12g? This could also be a fun comparison for the elephant guns. Keep up the amazing videos!

    At 11:01 it is possible to see that the 9th pellet missed just beside the zombie's left arm, playing at 0,25x speed helps to see it. This is normal with buckshot that has 9 pellets in it. Reason is that the first two pellets in the shell are a pair and the 3rd & 4th pellet form a similar pair but at a 90 degree different rotation and this symmetrical pattern continues until the 8th pellet... put a ninth one and it breaks the pattern. That makes the 9th pellet to shoot off from the main group.

      @gordowg1wg145 Před 3 měsíci +2

      Exactly - it's the same principle with "rail guns" that so many SF writers seem to be hung up on - the energy released when the projectile hits has to be applied to the projectile when it's fired and, not only doesn that mean a huge power source, but the conservation of momentum/Newton's Third Law of Motion means the recoil also has to balance the energy release.
      Same thing with the BS about military orbitally launched impactors - while they can provide a lot of energy in a small area, they need to be given at least as much energy during the launch and, in practice, the true balance will be closer to 100 times (depending on lifter efficiencies) as much energy used to lift them into orbit as will be released in a ground strike.
      Now, if one were to redirect something like an asteroid it will have a much longer fall into Earth's gravity well, and so apply a LOT more damage for a relatively small energy transfer to steer the body in the required direction.

      I'd like to see the difference, if any, between the damage done with contact shots. Longer barrels would give the gas more space to burn out and slow down expanding, shorter barrels would still have a lot of burn and expansion to go. A short barrel contact shot might blow apart a target more with the blast of gases despite a lower projectile velocity.

    I think the sawed off is better in close quarters
    A shorter barrel makes it easier to move around in tight/close spaces(such as your home) while a longer barrel would be more difficult
    The spread in close quarters while still being accurate enough for all the pellets to hit they would spread out just enough to hit more of whatever your shooting at(theoretically)
    It looks cooler than a full size let's be honest that's a win

      With a short barrel, there's less recoil, and a full stock can critically compromise it's manueverability use in close quarters while offering little benefit because it further restricts it's use.
