Longer barrel will always give you a tighter group and better velocity meaning more "power", to a certain extent. Edit : Of course I know SBS are 100x cooler I was simply sharing my thoughts

@deathangelo82

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.

@jamiemcerlain5897

I think the myth behind the sawed off having more power is that you always see them being used at literal point blank range in films and games so they’re obviously going to look more devastating

you know they make these things called gloves, scott.

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 think another important note to the origin of this is is how video games handle balance. A sawn-off is gonna be less accurate and have the player push closer, but will deal extreme damage as a trade-off. Higher risk higher reward.

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!

Up here in Wyoming a few weeks ago was -38° ambiant -60° with wind chill when it warmed back up to 15-20° felt like a heat wave glad you still getting out there and making that sweet content we all enjoy man

@Not_Built_For_This_World

Ever since I was young, I was told the sawed off is only to get a bigger spread at close range.

@matthewdaguiar9106

Super Goose 10 sounds like a bad, short lived but fondly remembered Saturday morning cartoon.

@tpuukko4424

@webstella

Thanks for the comparison. Now I will have something to compare my Turkish 14" pump with chokes and raptor grip to.

@preston.t.king.

The super goose 10 gauge was very impressive. And it's like you said, the sawed off looks cooler, but the 10 gauge is devastating

@DriftedDreams

Everyone forgets you have to factor the "cool" power multiplier in when using a sawn off shotgun. A Sawn off shotgun when used correctly recieves a X5 power multiplier due to the distinct level of cool it oozes.
