I genuinely did this once. Was asked about the history of Doppelbock beers on my cicerone exam. The "correct" answer was "created by monks to drink during lent". I wrote in "Created by friars to drink during lent. It was created by Paulaner, which was founded under the order of minims. The order of minimum produced friars, not monks. As the brewers were working class people taking a religious vow of poverty, not clergy." Score came back as 100%.

Just a note for people who don't have a ton of experience in the field (hunting) with shotguns. If you ever get your barrel clogged up with mud, ice or other debris, the front end will burst when you fire it. I have destroyed a shotgun in this manner because I didn't have anyone to tell me better. If you ever drop a shotgun stop and check to make sure the bore is clear before you do anything else. Hope this helps!

Thr disrespect for the 590a1 is crazy "Oh, yeah it fired AND ejected all 3 rounds with no issues, but the saftey was stuck and the action was stiff, so it doesn't move on to round 2." Meanwhile you have to beat half the guns into the ground just for them to eject in round 1. Let's also not forget that the 590's bayonet is the only reason that 80% of the guns would even go off saftey.

the 3-400 year old solution to this problem is the Cows knee an oil skin flap that covers the action , it was how you kept the powder , flint and frizen clear and dry. could be something as expedient as the leg of a pair of pants cut off oiled down and slid over the action. when the Cree would hunt in the deep winter they kept their rifles and shotguns in cloth sleeves it takes less time to yank a sleeve off than mess with a frozen safety , hammer or action.

Good video for all guys to see especially for someone new to duck hunting and guns in general.

The lesson I learned was to stay in the warm in freezing weather . In about 1935 my father bought a Harrington Richardson single barrel 12 gauge shotgun. While hunting in Winter he had too much to drink and misplaced his shotgun. He found his shotgun the next Spring in a corn shock. No issues at all and works like it was intended to this day. I only use low brass shells today due to guns age.

On a particular goose hunt in Kansas a number of years ago, the hunt started at 36° and raining as a front was coming through, and within 3 hours the temp dropped to 16° and went from raining, to sleeting, to snowing. We were all covered in ice. I think it was the first time I ever had my beard freeze. In a party of 8, the only weapons which worked every time were mine and an old timers Auto 5s. Even the pumps didnt work well. The guys with the fancy Benellis couldn't even disengage their safeties half the time. The Browning Auto 5 is the king of shotguns.

I absolutely love the dudes over at stockpile defense, by far the best store if you are building an Ar-15 or 10 and they are soooooo nice and helpful there! I went to idaho guns and outdoors to buy an ar-10 or similar .308 battle rifle and they were INCREDIBLY rude and condescending when i was asking if they had any and when i asked to take a look at the scar 17 they had they just completely ignored me, i took my money with me to stockpile defense and these dudes literally stayed with me while helping me make sure i had all the components and knowledge to build my ar-10 for half the price of the other store

the infamous benelli 'click' happens due to the bolt design allowing water the get inside the valley of the firing pin and rotating cam pin for the bolt head in the m2-m4 variations as well as the super black eagle line and Turkish copies except for very few like retay. gas driven shotguns like the 1301, a300 etc. are more reliable in the cold, wet or muddy conditions

You can induce this malfunction on just about any rotating bolt shotgun by bumping the charging handle, taking the bolt slightly out of battery. I’ve done it on my A400 Extreme a couple times hunting and have seen it with browning gas and inertia guns as well.

If you can’t build a fire and stay awake to keep it fueled in the bare elements, then definitely seek shelter. You can make one, but realize knots are hard with gloves or numb fingers. Snow is more insulated than anything below 25 Fahrenheit, but it is still 32 or colder, which is lethal. Good equipment isn’t always cheap. Your home is better than trying to hoof it in a shtf scenario unless you are in direct threat.

Funny thing, though, is the “ping” sound that the OG Halo shotgun is famous for is due to the SPAS-12’s bolt cycling in semi-auto (all semi autos will have that sound effect to some degree, but the SPAS-12’s bolt being so chunky makes it very audible), which wouldn’t be there for the Halo shotgun since it’s pump. That being said, the sound is absolutely iconic.
