The look on the guy who brought the double barrel shotgun after seeing the damage that it can inflict was priceless 😂😂
Double B not good for HD.
Ask any ” expert”😂
Will willis is a soldier forged in fire. Get it?
And that shotgun will KEEL

Isn’t that how all army rangers are made?
AAAAHAHAHA

“Pistols put holes in people. Rifles put holes through people. Shotguns, with the right load and right range, will physically remove a chunk of flesh off of people and splatter them all over the floor and walls.”

and .50 BMG will turn you into red mist
30:16 you can see Will grimace, knowing, "no way dude, you're gonna smoke me in this!"
Such high quality content for free! thnx,guys.
One of my favorites is the Remington 870.
The Winchester 1897 was used in WW2 as well, mostly by the Marine Corps in the pacfic theater. A Pump gun was preferred because of the humid, tropical climate. Some versions of the Benelli M4 also have a 14 inch barrel.
Should have had the Ithica model 37.
10th Mountain Division. My platoon had a small shotgun that attached to our M-4 carbine in Afghanistan 2003. It fit under the 5.56 barrel and was a 12 gauge, magazine fed, held five rounds, semi automatic, you had to use the charging handle to load the weapon and pull the trigger to fire it. Every time we wanted to use it to breech a door, we had to call our command and ask for permission to fire the shotgun. We were always denied by our command. It was frustrating and a waste of time to not even fire the shotgun in a combat zone. We finally got to take the small shotgun off our M-4, as it was the dumbest thing we ever had to carry in combat and never used.
Hol up,
So far so good, there are only maybe 2 shotguns used in the military that can be attached under a rifle, the KAC Masterkey and M26 MASS, both of which aren't semi-auto. The KAC Masterkey is a pump action shotgun, while the M26 MASS is a straight pull bolt action shotgun. None of these are semi-automatic.
There is a high chance that this guy is lying, although to give the benefit of the doubt, they were never allowed to fire the shotgun they were issued with. Still, not very reliable.
Will has one of the best jobs on the planet 👍
Honestly I think this channel should have way more subs
I don't really think shotguns have evolved all that much in the last 100 years. The mechanisms have changed SOME, but the result is identical. Many small pellets flying at the target at relatively high speeds and creating mayhem on arrival. The speed of the cycling is faster and the number of shells has increased since the 1800's, but thats kinda it.
You basically just described the technological advancements of ALL guns
germans said shotguns were a crime but they use poisoned gas
War aggressors will never admit their own wickedness towards others.
FMJ was accepted by international Law. Lead no.
Winner’s right to bend corner’s😂
Exactly.
Which, if you ask me, are *far worse & inhumane* than shotguns. So, they're in no position to talk.
@@DarkJak2050 Definitely
That flinch at 23:04!
Lol he kinda threw himself forward huh😅
I thought it was called a trench sweeper
I thought it was called the warcrime boomstick
It's what we call it my friend
Why is the wooden club not noted? It is in use for close quarters combat since stone age.
Thank you. 👍
i love this dude bro
I have a lot of shotguns.
Most of them lost in a boating accident tho.
I have the Benelli M2- it gets the most use.
Benelli M4; I won it at a three gun comp.
Benelli Patrol.
Mossberg 590, 590 Pro, an old 590 from the 80s with heat shield.
My favorite is my SOB13.
I like shotguns
I miss the AA12 though
Escopeta ou espingarda é sonho de consumo,armas robustas que causam um terror psicológico no agressor ou criminosos
Love my Mossy 500, and my 870.
Gotta love that Auto 5
33:45
This is a SPECTACULAR documentary. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 BTW, in WW1, the Germans protested our use of the shotgun. I THINK* it was the Hague (?) that ruled that the trench gun was not a tool against the rules of warfare. The Germans fussed because they argued that it maimed soldiers and it didn't cleanly kill, ergo they claimed that it was a weapon that caused suffering. 🇺🇸
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage documentary about shotgun ( bunch of firepower) in closed range...
Isnt the Benelli M3 both semi auto, and pump action (switchable)?
No that was the Franchi Spas 12 that did that
@generalmcterror2718 so does the M3, look it up :)
@@thomaswiekens9909 it does?! I guess I forgot about some of the M3’s features
Yep. As was the SPAS-12 and SPAS-15. The SPAS-15 is the best, but are really uncommon in the US. The M3 is a close second. The SPAS-12 looks cool, but is really clunky with poor ergonomics. Most of them have a paddle safety that is very unsafe and the crossbolt replacement safety was offered for a while, but is out of production now. If it wasn't upgraded, be careful...
I've got 2 of the 3 currently. Both have folding stocks and extended mags.
I rather have a mossberg 500
Trench Broom for the win!
🇺🇸
In WW 2 who was assigned the shotgun in a squad or platoon?
Real pity this video keeps getting in the way of all the adverts.
Ad blocker my friend...
Plus if pump action hand is injured its problem
Love my Remington 870
Nice episode, but red plastic shotgun shells weren't used in WWI nor WWII.
No mention of combat shotguns in Vietnam?
Had a dream one night back in 2008
I dreamed i was on ww1 armed with a shotgun with Bayonet
It really shook me the entire day
Wasn't until i looked at the calender
November 11th 2008
Not man enough for a trident
Ahhhhh... the good ol days of slam fire shotguns. Wish we could still do that 😁
0:20-0:53 if all that is true then why is the assault weapon the weapon of choice in games movies and pretty much everything close quarters combat related?
How did they fail to mention M26 MASS is primarily designed to breach doors and nothing else.
🌹🌹
Love my Winchester 1897 (aka the war crime stick!)
I would've eaten those pickles
Coach❤
aa 12?
Hells yah Bubba
You’re slipping Wil. You NEVER refer to a shoulder fired weapon as a “Gun”
It's a gun. Nobody cares about your military stormtrooper instilled semantics.
look let it See it
Vepr - 12 ❤❤
Unsuccessful, Bumping, not easy to control.
The germans- that is wrong to use in combat! Then Proceed to use mustard gas. 😂
I ha e the grandfather, the Benelli M1 super 90. I was shooting 3" groups using sabot slugs at 100 yards. Not trying to brag, just saying that it can reach out farther, accurately than what he said.
It’s good to know I’m a better skeet shooter then Will Willis
The air Force has snipers?? 😬 😂
THE TRENCH GUN WAS AS SUCCESSFUL AS IT WAS BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE A TRIGGER DISCONNECT. THUS ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS HOLD THE TRIGGER DOWN AND MANIPULATE THE PUMP, THEN WEAPON FIRES WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER AGAIN.
That’s only partially the reason, the other part is that this was one of the most commercially available shotguns at the time
36:09 - that's what she said 😅
This guy knows nothing about guns. The saga comes with a pistol grip too
It's a tv show . I'm pretty sure any one of these guy could spank you in a competition. All I would them to do is teach
Pistol grip pump on my lap at all times....lol
Comment for the algorithm.
Soo.... Why didn't they use an actual Winchester Model 1897?
Maybe they couldn't find one.
1912 Winchester came after WW1🙊right ??
@@454FatJackNot even close...
If you want to get good at wingshoting hunt doves.
hello if you guys had one (1) nuclear warhead and the means to deploy it without retaliation, would you target the chinese or the arabs?
Ok 12 year old
I'm not a trained person on pump shotguns. Just hunted since I was 10 I don't have to take eyes off target to work pump. That's just ingrained at 47yr old.
Whats with the California & New Your State compliant Saiga Shotgun 😂 Thats why Will doesn’t like it!!!
Your marine expert is wrong on the less than lethal, never designed to hit anything other than center mass. Less than 30 yards can be lethal. I was certified thru two marine corps non lethal weapons courses.
AA12 shotgun
Too bad there's now only 1 AA-12 left in the world and it never got a mention here
No AA-12. I'm disappointed!
🤣🤣🤣
I didn't even know the shotgun was invented in 1918!
It wasn’t
This is like mid 2000's cringe.
AAAAWWWW was not first
Only problem with the m4 it doesn’t have a bayonet lug. Come on military do better.
Trash, 870,590
Lmao a ranger doesn't know how to leed a moving target with a 12ga😂😂 its okay eventually he got one😂
2:44
Uhhh, there’s no “red dot up front”
Of course, will Willis. Top notch chair force. The F outta here and go back to fuddruckers.
Wasn't it invented in 1897?
Arnold 1887 lever
Benelli vs mossberg You can see that it was staged
One of the reasons American Soldiers were the best is because of the 2nd Amendment. All the way up to WWI most Americans still supplemented by putting wild game on the supper table.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not really, by the last quarter of the 19th century more people in the US lived in cities than in the country and that trend never reversed. In WW1 during basic training the majority of soldiers had to be taught to fire a weapon as they had never done so.
Shotguns didn't evolve, they were created and developed by intelligent design by men. If you threw all of the parts to a shotgun into a warm pond and lightning struck that pond repeatedly for a billion years, would a shotgun evolve?
Pedantic.
I'm 10 minutes in, as the title says Evolution of the Shotgun not how great the Benelli M4 is. they should have been honest and say this program brought to you by Benelli. I agree the M4 is a great weapon but that is not what I started to watch video for.
Keep watching
This reminds me of a very scripted show. Nah.
M26 shoulda been semi auto...
