I’m Your host Ryan Michad and this is your weekly dose of positive firearms talk, without the politics. AmazonMain Topic: ShotgunsShotguns have been discussed before on Gun Guy Radio, but I felt that we could get into the larger discussion of their use in the defensive world as well as their limitations. Many people will try to attach some magical quality to the shotgun as a defensive implement, and oftentimes it just isn’t so. We will first discuss the various shotgun operating methods and then some of the more popular gauges. Then we will delve into some considerations you need to make when choosing the shotgun as your home defense weapon.Types:Pump:Semi-Automatic (Gas, Recoil, Long Recoil, Inertia Operated):Lever Action:Bolt-Action:Break-Action (Either Single or Double Barrel):Revolver Style: Rossi Circuit Judge, and this Russian MT2-255 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTs-255Gauges:12 Gauge:20 Gauge:28 Gauge:.410 Bore:16 Gauge:Shot Pellet DiameterDefensive Shotgun Use:--Shotguns do go through walls at short ranges a lot more than most people think.-AR rounds tend to tumble when traveling through interior walls, losing stability and stopping much sooner.-Shotguns will knock someone back off their feet.-You don’t have to aim a shotgun: MYTH-The “Rathole” discussion-Use of “Cut Shells” or Wax Shells-Dragon’s Breath!Visit Weerd Beard at Weer'd World, the Squirrel Report & Gun Blog Variety CastSPONSOR -Alien Gear Holsters - http://aliengearholsters.com/SPONSOR - Duluth Trading - www.gunguyradio.com/duluthMEN'S FREE SWINGIN' FLANNEL SHIRTPatreon:NEW FRN Patreon http://www.patreon.com/frnhttp://www.patreon.com/gun or http://www.gunguyradio.com/pledgeAlien Gear Holsters $25 Gift CardsWerkz Holsters $25 Gift CardsLA Police GearDuluth Trading Company $50 Gift CardsDUKE CANNON SUPPLY COFIELD BOX GIFT PACKGun Goddess.com $25 Gift CardsSPONSOR – Ryan Cross Hunter of Design - www.hunterofdesign.comWrap-up:Remember to subscribe to us in iTunes so that you never miss a show and please leave us a review there as well. http://www.gunguyradio.com/itunesPlease consider joining the…Join the NRAJoin the Second Amendment FoundationDon’t forget to check out the other shows on the Firearms Radio Network
