Nice and informative. As mentioned I'd like to see some shots with the jugs not clinging to the wall. Also I'd like to see wall penetration after passing through a target. Everyone who knows shot guns knows you have to aim, so as information for what will penetrate and cause collateral damage through a wall on a miss this vid for the most part does its job. I'd like to see how much if any penetration is made after passing through a perp. Good job on the vid either way.
Well made video, and informative. The #1 choice for home defense is of course a twelve gauge pump action shotgun, versatile, and deadly. The optimal question is shot size. You never know whether you'll be using it at 15 feet or 15 yards, you may need to use it outside your home. I still, after 35 years of shooting choose a high based magnum 3 inch load of double-ought buck with fifteen .32 caliber pellets. It may not the best round in a home situation, but covers a large range of uses.
When Dad built his house, he put sheet rock on both sides of the wall framing supports. I see now that if I have to defend my home with shotgun blasts through the wall, I'll have to use 00 buck shot or slugs and be as close to the wall as I can to go through both layers of sheet rock. Great video. Thanks for posting it.
Good video, but I would like to see the jugs, or innocent not clinging against the wall. Perhaps hang jugs 3 to 4ft or so from the wall to see the effects, or place a piece of Sheetrock with silhouettes drawn on them to simulate people in the next room. I'm guessing shot trajectory would change significantly after the shot goes through the wall and/or hits a stud. Most of us in the next room don't cling to walls.
@Xanifur Right on dude. Unless people are clinging to walls this shows nothing about how birdshot would work in house. I keep mine with birdshot because range will be anywhere from point blank to 20 feet in my house. Multiple walls and ranges of like 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 feet would be a much better demonstration. It did help me confirm that I'm probably using the proper ammo for my needs though.
Really nice video fellas. Illustrates clearly that while a shotgun can be the " ultimate in home defense "...it can also be lethal to the innocent. Again, very informative.
The birdshot had the "most devastating penetration" because of the fact that it was fired from nine feet away... Your conclusion is somewhat misleading... Buckshot would still have greater or "more devastating" penetration than birdshot
Where are the slug tests?

@123mrcanttouchthis I encourage everyone to look at birdshot wounds compared to buckshot wounds.
