Alex Hegley if your comment is true then our military training sucks. This guy cant shoot

In the DOD we have 3 calibers 5.56x45, 9mm, and 7.62x51. Technically 4 if you count the .50 for small arms. The .50 falls in small arms or heavy weapons depending on the literature you are reading. Whether it be field manuals, or unit SOPs. It is "officially" an anti-aircraft and anti-vehicle munition. But it does wonders for human targets behind certain types of cover as well. We are experts in these specific calibers. With some minor supplementary training in foreign munitions such as 7.62x39 and other common military rounds, we don't really get to see these kinds of effects on target, or energy comparisons with common over the counter stuff. Which we don't need anyway, we have our adequate overlap in range, energy, accuracy, and lethality overall in what we got. With my squad plus my radio, I can kill anything within line of sight anywhere, as far as 5 miles. Typically 5 miles is your limit on even terrain due to curvitre of the earth. Its nice to see complete and concise presentations in a military-style covering civilian munitions, tactics, and techniques. As for Pauls marksmanship. He shoots every type of weapon, in every caliber, from every era of US history, in every weather condition, in every video within minute of fist. Put your fist over your heart and look at it. Cameras are cheap homie. KZfaq is free. Put up or shut up. Airborne Motherfucker!

@@terrybeasley2898 fuck I wish I shot as poorly as Paul . Let's see how you do picking up a stranger's gun and fire it within minutes of picking it up cold never having touched that particular weapon untill then . There are a lot of excellent shots out there hell even I'm a pretty fair shooter ..but there is a world of difference in a excellent target shooter and a good combat shooter . I'm definitely not a combat shooter and I'm glad I'm not . But I recognize the difference . This guy would handle you on a range and save your ass in a fight. Show a little respect

@@terrybeasley2898 you are funny.

Terry Beasley your not what I’d call a professional...

LOL! Exactly!

Hahahaha 🤣😂🤣😂😂

And the only remaining distraction is the non-existent speech impediment that Paul always mentions 😂 Dude's speech is almost flawless.

You can buy a rifled choke too

"Rifled" slugs are for smooth bore shotguns. If the shotgun didn't have a rifled barrel, then you /should/ use the rifled slugs. Sabot slugs are for rifled barrels only.

I have very good results with a 5 or 6 inch(can't recall) extended rifled choke on my 870. The particular slug makes the difference. Good with Remington sluggers. Great with the Winchester slugs in the silver box.

Most of the employees at Turners are bad IMO

@@ExceptionalPleb I'm guessing Turner's is some kind of big box store?

Then shoot on brother!

That's what i tell my wife!! Letter rip!! One exception....Don't shoot toward the BOAT SHED!!!!!

paul has a fantastic video about different caliber penetration of multiple house walls and an exterior wall, i just watched it and #4 buck did an awesome job !! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ec94e8qbxriUhH0.html ...... you have the right idea MechanizedApe but i think the wrong pellets.. you might wanna go with my idea of 32 pellet #4 buck to fill in your pattern.. or #3 buck or #2 or #1.. to hell with over-penetration scares.. if someone's/anyone's shots over-penetrate it is not the defenders fault but it is the fault of the intruder instigating the battle engagement.. of course we will still feel badly if anyone is hurt but [sorry if this offends anyone] the objective you all seem to be talking about is you and your loved ones surviving the engagement, [which i assume is constant and foremost on your mind during the entire battle ie: know your target and what is behind and beyond it , this should include if your family is behind the target, right? ] so over-penetration should be a minor secondary concern up to the point where you are legally liable,.. such as using a military 50cal rifle in your dorm-room to stop an attack, and even that is still up to a judge and jury.. [although one of the best quotes i will never forget is "your handgun has a main purpose, and it's main purpose is to get you to your long rifle!!" a shotgun under 25 yards seems reasonable but you gotta check your shot pattern.. if anyone [including me] wants to consider sacrificing penetration for effectiveness of engaging the target, that's totally up to the defending individual as long as they know there may be safety repercussions if you dont take down the target quickly and legal repercussions if excessive force is used to defend yourself, i guess.....i will keep an open mind... i liked this video, have a great day my good friend

@@mrtraumaboyy4098 grow the hell up ... everyone who's anyone knows you fortify the boat shed ..the hell's wrong with you!? Lmao . Jk

The Great Mechanized Ape You mention that it's a "short" barrel. Barrel length has absolutely nothing to do with shot pattern, contrary to the MYTH.

Arie Heath: I've been watching Paul's vids all day since I got home from work. This guy's great!

I come from the future. Beware of COVID. Can’t say anything more

Paul would have more subscribers if he had a snappy soundtrack and a scantily clad female sidekick shooting with him, but then it woulndnt be a Paul Harrel video.

For us, this is a really informative video, but to some, they might find this boring.

@@glenda8110 oh please let’s just not do that🙈. That eye candy reminds me of those idiotic informationals that plague late night tv.🤢. I took enough classes in advertising to understand how they insinuate sex in some fashion in most everything they sell. Much of it is subliminal in that you can’t directly see it but it’s there someplace. Once you “ get it” you can see through most of the nonsense and it just seems like in these cases it’s so much desperation for those all important Klicks. The no bullshit format 👍🏻 perfect!

Subs are for insecure people who don't know how to shoot. Believe me I grew up with someone who knows. He also never believed in the NRA 😎

youtube fix was in

B A K U oooohhh maaai gaawwwt

WTF!? Dudes got 300k subscribers alone!!! Lord knows how many views he has gotten!! How’s that under rated!?!?

@@Oregon-airguns because there are gun channels out there with millions of subs, that's where Paul should be right now

@@Oregon-airguns u fail to realize the comment he made was over 2 years ago right? 2 years ago the guy only had about 10 thousand subscribers. I'd say he was underrated back then.

Underrated channel full stop

I watched it again tonight. Paul is the best.

Worth more than a plugged nickel.

Yep I remember the first time I seen that dime trick in 1978

I actually learned that from Berry (RIP) on Iraqveteran8888.

Does a Canadian dime work the same...lol

I wait till after watching because you know KZfaq weights a like that was given after video review differently than one given automatically. Too many computerphiles in the pond for them not too...

If you're into guns check out mosin crate too, no shooting but plenty of firearms

Dropped everything, got popcorn !

Dropped everything.

Was holding a baby, still dropped everything

Honestly it was probably better to drop the baby

Paul uploaded I stopped reloading...

mozzberg never knew new was the new knew

What came first, the 12 Gauge, or the dime?

Rifled slugs are meant for smooth bore barrels.

Because I can? Alright, yeah, I can see how a wife might not like that answer.

if you shoot a lot, how about "honey, you know things wear out. i used it so much and now the warrantee is expired and plus you know our lives depend on these things working correctly the first time, every time..dont you think a new gun keeps us safer darling?!" .. but then you gotta worry about the woman logic kicking in and then her saying "well don't shoot so much and wear them out so fast !!" ...maybe just tell her you made a bet with a stranger or friend at the gun club for a new gun, and you won the bet !!...hehehe LOL

Chris Chrism , Better yet, ask HER why she has so many pairs of shoes & purses, whole closetful of dresses she MIGHT wear once a year.

I never argue with my wife about needing a new gun i just slip a few bucks out of the bank account here and there and slip it in the back door when she's not home

Lol damn yeah every year it seems like. Got away with 2 maybe 3 this year.. it’s opposite in my house tho. I love guns and my husband has no interest but is supportive. Anyone do the gun for birthdays or Christmas?? you say it’s for them but in reality…

Withdreday o

SuperNegro21 hahaha i love your name, if i ever get in trouble I'll call you lol

That's a good idea.

I second this.

Maybe with something like a Shockwave or TAC-14 (smiles broadly).

*The Stoned Videogame Nerd* Sorry to hear you cannot shoot yours as I have found the Shockwave to be a pussycat with Federal LEO Low Recoil loads(1150fps). This is the most fun I have had with a gun in years. Almost every pellet is on paper at 7yds. As for Aquila, why pay more for less? Yes, the 1897 was nice too. I may have to look for one.

For the money shockwaves are incredible fun! My friends dont share my fondness for 3 inch magnum slugs though.

Left/full choke

Michael Moon If you plan on shooting just slugs, then get the rifled barrel. If you want ALL of the many advantages of a shotgun, get the smooth bore. My smooth bore shoots slugs plenty accurate enough. 2"-3" groups at 50 yards. Plus, I've got 8 different sized chokes for my other loads.

@@jamiesloan5902 Agreed. Freedom munitions makes an awesome 1oz that I've had great results with

It all depends, ive had both rifled and smooth bore, at 50 yards i missed all 6 rounds at a group of 4 running deer with sabot slugs out of an 870 express with a rifled barrel, but had one round one kill at 100+ rounds at a running deer....point being, sabot slugs and rifled barrels are not always the best. Its all about comfort, and practice. Also ease of use, most smooth bore has a single bead for a sight, where rifled barrels mostly have rifle type open sights.

He's Schooling everybody. You can learn everything about guns from Paul and GunBlue490.

danny oleksiak From 50 yards, I can hit my 10" gong 95% of the time, with my TX-22 pistol, but it took some practice(years). With a rifle... 2" groups at 100 yards, is plenty efficient for hunting(1" is MOA). 6" groups from 25 yards is plenty efficient, with a self defense handgun. I shoot slightly better than I recommended, but I've been shooting for a long, long time. Start off by trying to shoot 4" groups from 10 yards, with your handgun, and just stay at it. You'll get better, and better with time. Trust me.

Supposedly muskets maximum deadly range was 75-100 yards. The ball was small enough to roll right down the barrel so you can imagine how much more it would bounce around barrel walls compared to a slug. For sure a shotgun is everything those line infantry guys wish their muskets was especially in terms of reliability. Flintlocks are finicky andeven if wind and rain aren’t preventing them from going off eventually the hot gunk in the barrel from the black powder will. Guys had musket cleaning tools with brushes for the pan and picks for the touchhole right on their cartridge box strap or somewhere else they could get to it in the heat of battle.

Good topic. I'll put it to the test if I can find the gun(s).

My Maverick 88 sometimes has trouble ejecting Remington shells, but does fine with Federal and Rio.

bingo. shoot hot slugs and your pattern will really open up. you can always hold higher. Good luck hunting successfully if you have no idea where your bullets gonna hit

Brenneke slugs did group tighter out of my smoothbore shotgun than Rem. Sluggers, but the ol' Sluggers weren't too bad either.

Good one.😁

Perfect! Lol hahahaha lol My son calls that a “dad” joke because it’s corny lol

I have to say I love the fact that you’re a man of the cloth. Thank you for teaching and sharing the word of God. Cheers mate

Heyoh !

Ba-Dum-Tish! :D

The rifling on a conventional Foster slug is mainly to help it fit through a full choke, rather than to make it spin.

Yeah I was always told you'd blow the barrel. Glad I found Paul Harrell's channel! I could've been shooting slugs through my Mossberg auto this whole time.

R32R38 Actually, it *does* impart spin in a smoothbore barrel: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLiAopRqqb3Qio0.html

I thought slugs of any kind could open up a full choke on a fixed choke or blow out a screw in choke?

I shoot slugs all the time in a full choke.

Gun Sam most smooth bores will shoot open sights/bead slugs to 100 yards really well. Wouldn't ask much more from a rifle. Rifled shotgun barrels with scopes are for those shotgun only deer hunts or shot gun seasons in eastern states. I feel those barrels really limit your shotgun to one purpose instead of many.

My state of MI limits rifle use in the lower half of the state where it's more populated with people. But recently, they have also began to allow for the use of straight walled carbines in rifles such a .44 mag, 500 mag and the like. The interesting thing is that studies were done that showed that shotgun slugs can travel as far as a mile while skipping across the ground, as where rifle bullets usually do not travel far at all after hitting the ground. It makes you wonder how they ever came up with all of the hunting rules that they have, probably an accidental shooting one time from a distance with a rifle, and without studying all the facts, they came to the conclusion that rifles are bad in a more populated area, and that shotguns "can't" shoot far.

Gun Sam _Revolver Aficionado_ possibly many laws are made out of fear and are pushed through quickly due to a tragic incident.

I’m in the same boat for you. I call them ammosexuals. Paul is great for dry data.

Rhabdo B for what it’s worth, gun culture is really demonized in the media. The foundation of gun culture is safe handling and proficient shooting.

@@deltazulu2848 i thought gun culture was stockpiling ten thousand rounds of 7.62 and 3D printing full auto drop in sheers for ARs

Big Mike I don’t know anyone who does that and I hang out with a lot of “gun nuts”

@@bigmike8586 'sheers' ?????

Justin Miller, Underwood Ammo's ammo vs the meat target.

+Galen Isaiah +100!!

Federal makes a Truball Deep Penetrator is an excellent slug (and usually can be found fairly cheap !) that gains its deep penetrating power from being a "harder' slug. The slug has a high antimony content which makes it much harder than normal lead slugs. The Truball is one that would definitely NOT recommend to shoot through a full choke.
