I convinced a friend to get a TS12 and told him about this channel being the deepest dive into the TS12 anywhere on CZcams. Thank you for all of these videos, they are extremely well done.
I really appreciate the kind words, mahalo piha🙏🏽 I’m taking WAYYY too long on my 10K review; I think I built it up in my mind to be this grand project so I e just been editing and editing… it never ending… I’m thinking about doing a lightly edited “range review” I can drop easily, and then take my time on the “polished” review. What are your thoughts?
@@PeaK808 Here's my $.02. Your content is very entertaining and informative. I'm guessing that people would be very happy viewing what you have even if there is a disclaimer that you're working on a polished review. I have no doubt that people will gladly watch both. I don't want you to be working on just the highly polished review a year from now when there is an announcement from IWI about a Gen 2.
Well heck, this was a very well done video. I'm really glad CZcams decided to throw you into my suggestions feed. I got my TS12 two months ago and it's pretty much the coolest machine I ever destroyed things with. And I had no idea about the ghost loading, so thank you for this great tutorial! Much love, brother. Subscribed.
Mahalo nui for the kind words🙏🏽 I hope you have a great weekend🤙🏾. I’m planning on running a couple cases through my TS12 Sunday, I hope you also get some trigger time with yours!👊🏽
Just got my TS12 this week and so far.... WOWWWW. What a shotgun. Thanks for this video. Sometimes the Tavor can be interesting since you can't initially see how it is scooping and feeding shells inside the gun. this video made a lot of sense. Easy sub...
Most LE & military training and procedures include keeping the shotty & long gun in a "condition 2" or, as you correctly said it is also called, "cruiser ready" until needed. Then a round will get chambered (condition 1) upon deployment, say, from however they are secured in the police vehicle as we roll in scene. For qualifications, many agencies have at least one stage of fire where a speed load and tac load are completed, but it doesn't seem to me that using the ghost load would expedite anything for the purposes of quals. It is very cool tho, and I appreciate watching & taking the info brother! Mahalo!
Aloha nō my friend and MAHALO PIHA for the real world experience and insight! I really really appreciate you reaching out and sharing your knowledge✊🏾 This is the kind of interaction and conversations I hoped would come through when I started this channel. Yes and I do think that ghost loading, for most people outside of competition is one of those things, “just because one CAN, doesn’t mean one....” you know how it goes lol Have a great week and again, THANK YOU!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I think it’s definitely a cool enough firearm to deserve more than one video 😂🤙🏾 Happy to help out where and how I can, have a great week, more to come!
One thing I discovered is you have to make sure what ammo manufacturer you're using because some of them say 2- 3/4" but they're actually longer and if you can get 5 rounds in the tube the tube will not rotate. I believe Fiocchi is one of them!!!
I had this happen with some supposed Rio 2 3/4 rounds... I could only get 4 of them in the tube. Thought my gun was jacked.... but sure enough I bought some more expensive Winchester 2 3/4 magnum slugs and BAM Five of them went right in.....
GREAT VIDEO... I may be wrong but I think you are the 1st person to discover this (or at least put this on CZcams). I just ordered my TS12 yesterday and look forward to trying this. I've done this with my mossberg 930 and 500 shotguns and love doing so. THANK YOU! for sharing this knowledge. HAPPY GUNNING!!!!
Mahalo for the kind words! Maybe call it “apparition loading” Or “Lapu Loading” (Lapu is the Hawaiian word for a ghost of a person)😂😂😂 I’m going to use Lapu loading 😂😂😂 Have a great weekend!
At the end there, the shots won’t have the same effect as individual rounds because the energy will have to be dispersed but, nonetheless, shorty is holding 15+ rounds lol Awesome video, thank you! They’re very helpful. Glad I’m getting mine.
Aloha nō my friend! Thank you for the kind words; if you have some time would you mind elaborating on what you said about the shots not having the same effect as individual rounds? I’m not sure I follow, but I would love to be educated more on the topic if you have the time! Let me know! Have a great day!
there's enough space at the front for another shell, if they made the tubes a bit longer, it would have held 6 shells in each tube. 18 shells in tube. btw if 1 shell is in the lifter..... do I have to use the charging handle to put that shell into chamber?
Great video - simple and easy to understand. Love my TS12! Wondering whether to even keep my Mossy Shockwave and Black Aces semiauto Shockwave type shorty - TS12 checks all the boxes!
Mahalo for the kind words! I can’t say whether or not you should keep your other shottys or trade up for a TS12, but I can tell you I’m over 3k rounds and my TS12 is still a “blast” to shoot just like it was the first time!
Hello, I'm from Poland, I have a request how to get to the firing pin. I want to clean the firing pin but my pins,, silver small " don't want to come out. Greetings and thank you for your videos and experience.
CHEEEEEEEEEEEHU as ALWAYS !!!! My braddah I love your videos.. please keep them coming! my favorite quote from this one "Im gonna rotate this barrel and the TS12 is gonna automatically load a slug into the chamber.... WHICH is pretty NUTS" lmfao u crack me up brah
Thanks for the info, bro. I have a fresh TS12. Don’t know that I need more than 15, but I do like to know my equipment. Thanks. PS. Super funny JR Prom reference. 😁
Glad you found the info useful🤙🏾. I’m right there with you, like I said in the video, if you can’t solve an issue with FIFTEEN ROUNDS of 12ga, YOU miscalculated severely😂, but kāko’o to that, it’s very important to just know how your tools function🤙🏾 JR prom reference, funny now, wasn’t then. (Kawaiōla broke my 15 year old heart)😭😂
Thank you for the very thoughtful video and for the positive vibes. I picked up my TS12 last week. I have not shot it yet. What maker of slugs are you using? Can you provide a seller link? Also, looks like you have a new suppressor?
Mahalo piha for the kind words🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I absolutely love my TS12 and I’m very confident you’ll fall in love with yours as well! Please LMK how your first range sesh goes with it. I use a variety of different loads, most recently I’ve been shooting Remington Sluggers, 1oz rifled slugs. Just make sure that your shells are in spec and meet the requirements specified in the manual (1200fps, 1 1/8 oz) These slugs I’m using are lighter than the minimum, but they’re moving much faster at 1610fps and have been working fine on the L gas setting. I have a Carlson’s tactical breacher choke on my TS12 right now, it’s not a suppressor (I would if I could lol). I’ve been using this for several months now and it’s pretty cool, there is a very small reduction in recoil, but i have it on for cool points more than anything else.
subscribed to support a fellow islander. from the soil im guessing you're shooting range is somewhere out in ka`u? im on o`ahu and just ordered a ts12 but all we have here is an indoor range. :( they closed koko head.
E mahalo piha🙏🏽 There is a range out in Ka’ū but the range I go to if I’m not shooting at home is up on the Hilo side of Mauna Kea. I heard about koko head being closed. My daughter lives in Waialua so whenever I’m on O’ahu I usually go to X Ring in Waipahu. If you’re ever out here please let me know and let’s shoot!
Thank you for your videos on the TS12 is has become a favorite of mine and the company IWI. One off the cuff question I've had. What side is preferred to place the charging handle? I am right handed and it feels like on the left is probably better to be able to use your dominant hand but it seems ok on the right side as well. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
Peak 808 - quick question. You mentioned that you use a pump shotgun for home defense. Why not the TS12? Just curious. I just picked up the TS12 yesterday and really got it for home defense. Considering the size and maneuverability I figured it was perfect for the task.
Aloha nō my friend, sorry for the late reply I’m going to make a video on this question as a few people have posed it to me as well. Long story short, it comes mostly down to the other members in my household and what they are comfortable and capable in using. MY TS12 has been nothing short of amazing; I have put over 3500 shells through mine to date. It is however, very unique, and with that comes much different ways to employ the gun to its best effectiveness. I’ll be making a video on how I’ve taught myself to run this platform soon as well. I hope this answers your question, it doesn’t have anything to do with the TS12 itself or my confidence in it, it’s purely because my girlfriend can run a pump like a boss, hasn’t put the time in to learn the operation of the TS12 and SHE doesn’t feel comfortable with it, though she does say the TS12 is better balanced and easier to hold. She also is 4’11” and 105 Lbs believe it or not lol
@@PeaK808 Thank you for quick response. Much appreciated. Totally get it. A pump is an easier platform to run - at least a more familiar platform. The TS12 isnt difficult but it does take some work to get use to it. If she is more comfortable with it then it makes sense. Dont mess with household Mana!! I am fairly new to the TS12 so I I understand that it takes some adjusting to that style, but it is a blast to shoot .
Awesome how the gun ghost loads for you instead of manually stuffing a shell on the lifter which can be a pita if another shell from the tube gets released on to the lifter jamming things up.
What’s up my friend! The brake I have on my TS12 is actually a breacher choke from Carlson’s. It has a VERY minimal impact on recoil, but they do sell a dedicated brake, though I have not tried it
Great content, and I enjoyed the video, but I think that you go off on these small tangents that detract from what the video promises. I'd get those tangents out of the way at the beginning or end, and get straight to the point that the title actually promises. Some people are frustrated by "fluff".
Mahalo for checking out y video and I really appreciate the constructive criticism. In my more recent videos I do my best to address this problem I have about going off on tangents and staying on point; I’m not sure how much I have improved but I am working on it🤙🏾 Again, I really appreciate you stopping by to watch my video, and even more so for taking the time to write a comment offering your constructive input, you could have easily just said to yourself “this guy doesn’t stay on point” and just moves on. Thank you🙏🏽 Have a great week🤙🏾
I just purchased my TS12 and am anxious to assessorize-could you do a video on recommended assessories (sights, laser, stroke flashlights, slings, etc.)?
Can you do a video showing the best way to do a select slug drill with the TS-12? In a training class I really fobbled a drill when using the ghost loading method and then being called on to switch out to a slug for 1 to 3 rounds as the drill commenced.
Aloha nō my friend! YES I will definitely put out a slug select video for the TS12. Can you do me a huge favor and describe to me in more detail how you went about it with your TS12 and what happened? You can respond here or hit me up on Instagram @paakaula_ Have a great week🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
@@PeaK808 Recently at a shotgun class. I thought I was pretty bad ass with my TS-12 that got so many odd looks and compliments. In the class we were running mostly birdshot with an occasional select slug command given during a course of fire. At the end of the day we would all individually run the "gauntlet" involving moving, shooting, using cover and firing from various positions. We were told to load up our shotguns. I used the ghost loading method to give myself that extra round. At the starting line as I was given the "threat" command I was told my first target was the one roughly 30 yards away and required a slug. UGGGGG!!!!! Typically I will pull back the charging handle which ejects the round, drop in a slug through the ejection port, release the charging handle, push the safety off and fire. In this case I pulled back the ejection handle and I had a hot mess to deal with as the two birdshot rounds got jammed up. Maybe I did something incorrectly. Once I got home I tried several more times with dummy rounds. Without the ghost load the method I just described for a select slug drill worked fine. Likewise I believe I could remove a round from a magazine tube, rotate that tube to battery, fire off the chambered round and the ghost load round and have my third shot be the slug, but I don't want to have to fire two rounds, or even one round, just to make room for the slug. I hope I explained things in a way that makes clear the dilemma I ran into at the training drill. Thank you for all of the great videos.
Aloha e my friend, thanks for checking out the channel! 10 round limit only applies to handguns and PCCs that share common magazines with pistols (IE Glock magazines) There are no limits for rifle magazines, drums, standard capacity (30 in AR platforms) are good to go. Ammo limits for shotguns only apply when actively hunting, much like other states🤙🏾
Aloha nō my friend thanks for checking out my video! I do own the choke brake you’re referring to, although this isn’t it. What I have on here is a Carlson’s Tactical Breacher Choke I get a lot of questions about this and I’m in the process of making a video covering this choke. Have a great weekend!🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
@@PeaK808 thanks for the reply! Which do you prefer? I just got the manticore brake and the curved butt pad in the mail yesterday and haven't tried it, I'll have to take a look at the carlson's that you just mentioned.
@@kylepaquet5930 the buttpad is a game changer. I have all of MA stuff for the TS12 and the buttpad has provided the best benefit in my opinion. To tell you the truth they’re about the same. Both chokes have a little bit of recoil and muzzle rise mitigation but not much. They both look cool though, and that’s the most important thing behind being safe and effective with your firearm is looking cool🤙🏾 The Carlson’s choke has the teeth on the end for breaching doors or muzzle punching zombaliens in the face so if I were to reach real real far out there to split hairs, I’d say the Carlson’s choke has more utility…. If you’re going to be breaching doors and muzzle punching zombaliens in the face. Aesthetically I like the Carlson’s one more, the MA choke is a little big to me, but I can also see how someone could think the opposite looks better. All up to you my friend, and either will be awesome because it’s YOUR gun🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
@@kylepaquet5930 another thing I’d recommend that was a huge game changer for me (and something I’ll cover in my 4k rounds later video) are the esstac shotgun cards. I have them on both sides and run slugs on the right, buckshot on the left. It has changed the way I do ammo changes and pretty much run my TS12 overall. I’ll be making a video on how I run my TS12 also soon in the future🤙🏾
Great video! Been watching all sorts of ts12 videos and glad I came across yours. Quick question does the Carlson’s tactical choke just thread on as easy as the manticore one?
Aloha nō! MY TS12 came with an Improved Cylinder, and a Modified Choke. I expect they all come with these chokes, but I’m not entirely sure, as another subscriber wrote me privately to say the screws holding his TS12 together were a different type than mine when I made the “complete teardown” video
Aloha nō my friend thanks for checking out the video! My bolt was locked open when I thumbed my followers (you can watch the bolt drop a few seconds afterwards). I’m not very good at making these videos, so most of the time I end of filming and re-filming, then re-re-filming… it’s a terrible process. Im pretty sure that I stuck my thumb into the chamber before I hit the tubes and I think you can see it in the video, but it’s been a really long time since I made this video; I can’t remember. Nonetheless, I will be more careful and do a better job in the future to make it more apparent for myself and for viewers Thanks for the input! And I hope you have a great long weekend🤙🏾
*_The Truth_* about the IWI Tavor TS12 *no gun industry reviewer talks about:* The IWI *TS12* is VERY ammo sensitive and so you must test each & every type, brand, size, i.e. everything that you will use in the shotgun to make sure it works. God bless
Aloha nō my friend! Thanks for the input! You are absolutely correct, it’s important to try out different loads to see what works best and then stick with those. I’m still in the LONG process of editing my “2k rounds later” video, and I hope to get that out in the next few weeks. I’m pretty confident in saying that I’ve become well-versed in the operation and practical employment of the TS12, as I e had mine for over a year and have put over 2 thousand shells through it. With that prefaced, I do agree with you that one must run different loads and then stick with what works, but I wouldn’t say that the TS12 is “very Ammo sensitive” IWI specifies that for the platform to run reliably, one must use shells that are at least 1 1/8 oz with a muzzle velocity of at least 1200FPS. In my experience, as long as I’ve stayed within those specs (there are MANY different loads within these parameters) and kept my TS12 clean, I’ve had perfect reliability. Thank you for the valuable info for our little community, and I hope you have a great week!
Aloha nō! Thanks for the insight and criticism; there have been several others who have sent me DMs on Instagram or commented saying similar things. Right now I don’t have a lot as far as production and editing (I run everything off my phone and a microphone I got on Amazon) so when I render videos the sound often ends up very different on my phone vs a computer vs a television. As I’m able to get better at filming, editing, and producing, I’m hoping to be able to afford better equipment to create better content. I appreciate your input, and I’m thinking from now into the immediate future I’ll be omitting music from instructional videos. Have a great weekend🤙🏾
@@PeaK808 I think you're making the right decision on the music. Learning about how a weapon operates is serious business, and music just distracts. I wanted to learn more about the "carrier release lever" on my TS12, since the manual doesn't cover it much, but I had trouble understanding a lot of what you said due to the music volume. I do think you answered my question in the video (5:23) - it just releases a round from the magazine to the lifter, right? If you plan to keep producing videos for the long term, I can recommend Sony Vegas Pro, which I've used for years. It's not free or cheap, but it's full of features you can use to produce truly professional quality videos in most any format you want, and do it without spending a lot of time reading the user manual. ;) Video's just a hobby for me, but my gear now is a Sony FDR-AX1 4K videocam and Senheiser EW 100 G3 wireless mic system. You enjoy your weekend too!
I’m going to reshoot this video w/o music. Again I really appreciate the feedback, when I started my channel and moving into the future, I wanted this to be a place where ideas, information can be shared and we all have the capacity, capability, and opportunity for interaction and to make each other BETTER. Thanks for sharing something with me that will make me better at this. Yes the carrier stop drops a round from the active tube onto the lifter. If your tubes are empty and you’re dry firing or working on your tool, this lever sets up the bolt to be locked back. I will check out your recommendations on equipment and software. I’m down for investing in setups and such, so again, really appreciate the insights

So it automatically puts the shells where they need to be no finagling with the action at all. Just got to remember to rotate the mag back to top off.
Just recently learned about TS12 but it’s been out for so many years. Is there a reason this shotgun is not popular on U.S. market?
Nice.

Personally the more fire power the better for any given situation.
Is it more prone to malfunction when ghost loaded or does it effect the firearm in anyway?
Reliability is good to go, although I rarely ever ghost load mine these days🤙🏾

Totally get it. A pump is an easier platform to run - at least a more familiar platform. The TS12 isnt difficult but it does take some work to get use to it. If she is more comfortable with it then it makes sense. Dont mess with household Mana!!
I am fairly new to the TS12 so I I understand that it takes some adjusting to that style, but it is a blast to shoot .
Awesome how the gun ghost loads for you instead of manually stuffing a shell on the lifter which can be a pita if another shell from the tube gets released on to the lifter jamming things up.
Major PITA when that happens👊🏽
Where did you get your muzzle break for the TS12
What’s up my friend! The brake I have on my TS12 is actually a breacher choke from Carlson’s. It has a VERY minimal impact on recoil, but they do sell a dedicated brake, though I have not tried it
Great content, and I enjoyed the video, but I think that you go off on these small tangents that detract from what the video promises. I'd get those tangents out of the way at the beginning or end, and get straight to the point that the title actually promises. Some people are frustrated by "fluff".
Mahalo for checking out y video and I really appreciate the constructive criticism. In my more recent videos I do my best to address this problem I have about going off on tangents and staying on point; I’m not sure how much I have improved but I am working on it🤙🏾
Again, I really appreciate you stopping by to watch my video, and even more so for taking the time to write a comment offering your constructive input, you could have easily just said to yourself “this guy doesn’t stay on point” and just moves on. Thank you🙏🏽
Have a great week🤙🏾
Bolt catch is stuck to the rear😢
I just purchased my TS12 and am anxious to assessorize-could you do a video on recommended assessories (sights, laser, stroke flashlights, slings, etc.)?
Sure thing🤙🏾
Aloha my friend haven’t forgot about your video request, working on it, just a lot of plates on the fire right now lol🤙🏾
What muzzle break do you have in the TS12??
Right here my friend

It’s a Tactical Breacher Choke from Carlson’s
Have a great weekend🤙🏾
Each tube holds 4 3” shells
Can you do a video showing the best way to do a select slug drill with the TS-12? In a training class I really fobbled a drill when using the ghost loading method and then being called on to switch out to a slug for 1 to 3 rounds as the drill commenced.
Aloha nō my friend! YES I will definitely put out a slug select video for the TS12. Can you do me a huge favor and describe to me in more detail how you went about it with your TS12 and what happened? You can respond here or hit me up on Instagram @paakaula_
Have a great week🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
@@PeaK808 Recently at a shotgun class. I thought I was pretty bad ass with my TS-12 that got so many odd looks and compliments. In the class we were running mostly birdshot with an occasional select slug command given during a course of fire. At the end of the day we would all individually run the "gauntlet" involving moving, shooting, using cover and firing from various positions. We were told to load up our shotguns. I used the ghost loading method to give myself that extra round.
At the starting line as I was given the "threat" command I was told my first target was the one roughly 30 yards away and required a slug. UGGGGG!!!!!
Typically I will pull back the charging handle which ejects the round, drop in a slug through the ejection port, release the charging handle, push the safety off and fire. In this case I pulled back the ejection handle and I had a hot mess to deal with as the two birdshot rounds got jammed up.
Maybe I did something incorrectly. Once I got home I tried several more times with dummy rounds. Without the ghost load the method I just described for a select slug drill worked fine. Likewise I believe I could remove a round from a magazine tube, rotate that tube to battery, fire off the chambered round and the ghost load round and have my third shot be the slug, but I don't want to have to fire two rounds, or even one round, just to make room for the slug.
I hope I explained things in a way that makes clear the dilemma I ran into at the training drill.
Thank you for all of the great videos.

You in HI? I thought you guys had a 10 round limit, or does that not apply to shotguns?
Aloha e my friend, thanks for checking out the channel!
10 round limit only applies to handguns and PCCs that share common magazines with pistols (IE Glock magazines)
There are no limits for rifle magazines, drums, standard capacity (30 in AR platforms) are good to go.
Ammo limits for shotguns only apply when actively hunting, much like other states🤙🏾
@@PeaK808 Got it!
@@MutarFuqueer 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
👍
😀
Is that an extended choke? It looks like the manticore arms muzzle break that I bought, but I see the original muzzle device on yours beneath it...
Aloha nō my friend thanks for checking out my video!
I do own the choke brake you’re referring to, although this isn’t it. What I have on here is a Carlson’s Tactical Breacher Choke
I get a lot of questions about this and I’m in the process of making a video covering this choke.
Have a great weekend!🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
@@PeaK808 thanks for the reply! Which do you prefer? I just got the manticore brake and the curved butt pad in the mail yesterday and haven't tried it, I'll have to take a look at the carlson's that you just mentioned.
@@kylepaquet5930 the buttpad is a game changer. I have all of MA stuff for the TS12 and the buttpad has provided the best benefit in my opinion.
To tell you the truth they’re about the same. Both chokes have a little bit of recoil and muzzle rise mitigation but not much. They both look cool though, and that’s the most important thing behind being safe and effective with your firearm is looking cool🤙🏾
The Carlson’s choke has the teeth on the end for breaching doors or muzzle punching zombaliens in the face so if I were to reach real real far out there to split hairs, I’d say the Carlson’s choke has more utility…. If you’re going to be breaching doors and muzzle punching zombaliens in the face.
Aesthetically I like the Carlson’s one more, the MA choke is a little big to me, but I can also see how someone could think the opposite looks better.
All up to you my friend, and either will be awesome because it’s YOUR gun🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
@@kylepaquet5930 another thing I’d recommend that was a huge game changer for me (and something I’ll cover in my 4k rounds later video) are the esstac shotgun cards. I have them on both sides and run slugs on the right, buckshot on the left. It has changed the way I do ammo changes and pretty much run my TS12 overall. I’ll be making a video on how I run my TS12 also soon in the future🤙🏾
Great video! Been watching all sorts of ts12 videos and glad I came across yours. Quick question does the Carlson’s tactical choke just thread on as easy as the manticore one?
Been wondering how to do this thx.....hold this sub lol
🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾 right on my friend glad I could be helpful🤙🏾
@@PeaK808 who makes the choke you’re using???
@@thecreamofthecrop2694
It’s Carlson’s tactical breacher choke🤙🏾
Am I the only person that would be happy if we never talked about +1 capacity ever again?
Works with both 2 3/4 and 3 inch I'm assuming?
Your assumptions are correct my friend!🤙🏾
What choke comes with the tavor ts12?
Aloha nō!
MY TS12 came with an Improved Cylinder, and a Modified Choke. I expect they all come with these chokes, but I’m not entirely sure, as another subscriber wrote me privately to say the screws holding his TS12 together were a different type than mine when I made the “complete teardown” video
@@PeaK808 THANKS❗️👍
Cool you checked your tubes but rhe bolt was closed you did not check the barrel
Aloha nō my friend thanks for checking out the video!
My bolt was locked open when I thumbed my followers (you can watch the bolt drop a few seconds afterwards). I’m not very good at making these videos, so most of the time I end of filming and re-filming, then re-re-filming… it’s a terrible process.
Im pretty sure that I stuck my thumb into the chamber before I hit the tubes and I think you can see it in the video, but it’s been a really long time since I made this video; I can’t remember.
Nonetheless, I will be more careful and do a better job in the future to make it more apparent for
myself and for viewers
Thanks for the input! And I hope you have a great long weekend🤙🏾
What muzzle is that? Im looking for my ts12
Aloha nō! Sorry for the late reply! It’s a “Tactical Breacher Choke” from Carlson’s
@@PeaK808 thanks!!!
@@lonewolf6169 easy🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
@@PeaK808 you got a video especially for this particular or other choke compatible?
@@lonewolf6169 I don’t, would you like me to make one?
*_The Truth_* about the IWI Tavor TS12 *no gun industry reviewer talks about:*
The IWI *TS12* is VERY ammo sensitive and so you must test each & every type, brand, size, i.e. everything that you will use in the shotgun to make sure it works.
God bless
Aloha nō my friend! Thanks for the input!
You are absolutely correct, it’s important to try out different loads to see what works best and then stick with those.
I’m still in the LONG process of editing my “2k rounds later” video, and I hope to get that out in the next few weeks. I’m pretty confident in saying that I’ve become well-versed in the operation and practical employment of the TS12, as I e had mine for over a year and have put over 2 thousand shells through it.
With that prefaced, I do agree with you that one must run different loads and then stick with what works, but I wouldn’t say that the TS12 is “very Ammo sensitive”
IWI specifies that for the platform to run reliably, one must use shells that are at least 1 1/8 oz with a muzzle velocity of at least 1200FPS. In my experience, as long as I’ve stayed within those specs (there are MANY different loads within these parameters) and kept my TS12 clean, I’ve had perfect reliability.
Thank you for the valuable info for our little community, and I hope you have a great week!
I keep mine ghost loaded so it can hold 15 rounds without 1 in the chamber lol
What is ghost load
@@GeneralZap I heard it’s something to do with the lift. Is that right?
@@FRANANGELICOONA It has something to do with the lifter and everything to do with watching the video that fully explains it. Just sayin
Get rid of the background music. It distracts from the actual content.
Thanks for the input, I’ll make changes in future videos🤙🏾
Gave up trying to watch this. Background noise made it impossible to understand what was being said.
Aloha nō! Thanks for the insight and criticism; there have been several others who have sent me DMs on Instagram or commented saying similar things.
Right now I don’t have a lot as far as production and editing (I run everything off my phone and a microphone I got on Amazon) so when I render videos the sound often ends up very different on my phone vs a computer vs a television.
As I’m able to get better at filming, editing, and producing, I’m hoping to be able to afford better equipment to create better content.
I appreciate your input, and I’m thinking from now into the immediate future I’ll be omitting music from instructional videos.
Have a great weekend🤙🏾
@@PeaK808
I think you're making the right decision on the music. Learning about how a weapon operates is serious business, and music just distracts.
I wanted to learn more about the "carrier release lever" on my TS12, since the manual doesn't cover it much, but I had trouble understanding a lot of what you said due to the music volume. I do think you answered my question in the video (5:23) - it just releases a round from the magazine to the lifter, right?
If you plan to keep producing videos for the long term, I can recommend Sony Vegas Pro, which I've used for years. It's not free or cheap, but it's full of features you can use to produce truly professional quality videos in most any format you want, and do it without spending a lot of time reading the user manual. ;)
Video's just a hobby for me, but my gear now is a Sony FDR-AX1 4K videocam and Senheiser EW 100 G3 wireless mic system.
You enjoy your weekend too!
I’m going to reshoot this video w/o music.
Again I really appreciate the feedback, when I started my channel and moving into the future, I wanted this to be a place where ideas, information can be shared and we all have the capacity, capability, and opportunity for interaction and to make each other BETTER.
Thanks for sharing something with me that will make me better at this.
Yes the carrier stop drops a round from the active tube onto the lifter. If your tubes are empty and you’re dry firing or working on your tool, this lever sets up the bolt to be locked back.
I will check out your recommendations on equipment and software. I’m down for investing in setups and such, so again, really appreciate the insights
I can’t ghost load mine now maybe they change the feature on the newer ones. There is no bottom to load one on the lifter after one is chambered
