@@johnf817 I dunno, I enjoyed it enough that I watched it twice... if someone else missed it but read it here and then they enjoyed it then it's well worth it
Not 2 minutes in and I remember my old firearms instructor who said it best. “Doesn’t matter what kind of gun it is. All that matters are two things kid... that it functions and you can hit your target, everything else is extra!”
@Kjs i did it for the first six months of college because I couldn't afford anything and the 22 was my only gun I owned at the time. Worked good and it scared off a person when they broke in. Got a shotgun the day after but a 22 single shot is better then a stick
@Kjs true very true i everyone would choice something better the first chance they would get i upgraded from a single shot 22 to a 3 shot bolt action 12 gauge that had a banana peeled barrel so I payed 49 bucks for it at a sketch pawn shop another 10 for a mixed box of 20 12 gauge rounds different sized bird shot and one buckshot load that came with it. Went to ace got a file and hack saw and cut the ruined barrel down to 20 inches a good 6 inches bellow where it peeled. It was ugly and not very good but that shotgun and 22 are still in the safe years later because I dont have the haret to get rid of them they took care of me when I need it
Supporting Anecdote: After I got out of the military, I took a job at a local gun store. One day a customer came in who wanted a shotgun for home defense, stated that he didn't know much about guns, but wanted to learn. I showed him several, including a Mossberg 500, Remington 870, and a few others. The problem was that no matter how I explained it, he couldn't quite fully comprehend the function of a pump-action; this includes dummy-round demonstrations. I was about ready to give up when a coworker suggested showing him a coach gun. After a few minutes of demonstrating with dummy rounds, he finally got it! I also explained that he needed to go to the range and practice. He got that too. I then tried to explain different types of ammo. Both of his cylinders were firing full-throttle, and with many pictures and descriptions, he finally got that as well. The bottom line is this: "A coach gun you understand, can afford, and can practice with is far better than a gau-19 that you can't understand, afford, or practice with."adf
@Phil McCrevice right!?! I mean even if you don't understand the internal mechanisms, at least understand the handling and usage. Plenty of people know jack squat about autos and can still drive.
I am not entirely sure I would feel confident selling someone a gun that could not understand the basics of a pump action. My ex wife is not very mechanically inclined and didn't like guns but manged to pick up how to operate a semi auto handgun and a pump shotgun fairly quickly. She wasn't going break one down and clean it, but she could load and fire it.
@@biteme263 Maybe, but this guy wasn't your wife, (unless there's more to the story I don't know about! JK) That's why I didn't try to sell him the pump. The point was that the coach gun WAS within his mental capacity, and any gun you CAN operate is better than no gun.
The fabled Super Shotgun is viable for even for some of the most horrific and evil demons, and works just as well on more conventional two-legged threats.
I’m 71, dad was in law enforcement from 1935-1970 (with 4 years off to tour with the US Navy in WW2). In the last minute Paul got to dads favorite assessment of the double barrel coach gun. He said like the battleship the double barrel was outdated technology, but like a 16” navel gun the double barrel was on heck of a visual deterrent. Another great vid!
The cool thing about your videos is its about one third fact, one third experience and one third wisdom. Thanks for awesome content and informative videos!
How can a double-barrel shotgun be effective without a picatinny rail, side saddle, light, laser, bayonet, single point sling, pistol grip, night sights, RMR, adjustable stock, vertical fore-grip, heat shield, bipod, and cerakote?
Greetings from Russia! When my friend was thinking about weapon for his old parents (who are not into guns) living in remote countryside, he chosed a double barelled shotgun with external hammers. There was a few simple ideas: 1) it must as simple as possible to maintain and operate it; 2) it must be always ready to fire and still comparisonly safe. For most REALISTIC threats capacity won`t be that big deal. Nice "farmer`s gun" also good for hunting, by the way.
A lot of people don't get that. Simple, cheap, easy to care for, and reliable, that have multi-roles, is better than spending thousands on an assortment of guns and then sifting through them for the best for the job. I'm on a farm and have a single shot 20ga, IC i use for defense, goose, ducks, squirrel, rabbit, turkey, dove, and deer. $240 and the best i ever owned.
Agree mate, keep it simple, db hammer, safe to keep loaded , proberly the last gun to break and easily fixed , Maintenence free , a bit of dirt or mud won’t stop it and pretty cheap. Cheers from Australia
@@ts89540 Hell yeah I agree 100%. These double barrels can hunt anything. You can use drop in conversions to switch between any caliber or even blackpowder. If you're good you can reload it in an emergency not that you would need to. Most people don't realize statistically 70% of the time simply a warning shot is enough and if you get hit by a slug from one of these its over so two shots is plenty. I love that you can get these for cheap by assembling old parts or part kits, and they're even double barrel muzzle loaders. Nothing more versatile, reliable, cheap, and easy to get... I see them used for $200 all the time and you can get them for even cheaper by putting one together or fixing up an old one.
Simplicity is a huge virtue when hands are shaking...my missus long before we married had a bad guy try to break into her house...she couldn't find her .38, and tried to load an old Ithaca 49r, spilling the rounds all over the place...luckily, the bad guy eventually left, but the memory has stayed with her...we keep our Stoeger loaded, along with a couple revolvers...for our home location that should be plenty...if more than one bad guy, watching the first one get blown up will stop, and in all likelihood, have the others trying to run through the walls to get away...also, firing the first shell, the bad guys will have zero clue just what kind of gun they're facing, just that it smoked their friend and there probably a round waiting for them, and the next guy, and the next guy...
Hey dude, just wanted to say that most Americans see through all thus leftist Russian propaganda….we know what awesome people Russians are…God bless you and your family man
I just posted the same thing. It would take a special kinda bad guy to charge towards a flamethrower. Not many people are that committed over the theft of an old VCR.
I think Paul is probably doing very well on RU-vid, because if most of you are anything like me, you will watch the entirety of the video because they are so interesting and easy to watch, like a breath of fresh air.
Your channels pretty good too. I like your water target over the meat target, just because it's easier to understand what it takes to destroy a water jug, since I've never made a meat target. If you want to spend $600-$700 you could order a mechtech carbine conversion unit. They make them for glocks, 1911s and springfield xd's. I thoroughly enjoy mine in 45acp for my 1911, I just dont have the time to go out and set up a water target to see the difference in power.
In my almost 20yrs practice of Advanced Trauma Life Support I have found that the only time multiple shotgun rounds were required at close range to stop an assailant is if the person shooting somehow misses his first shot or there are multiple asailents. One shotgun impact is usually all that's required. Nice presentation as usual Paul.
@@tommykirk3403 lots of people have been killed with stones, arrows, knives, hammers, 2" of standing water, poop, neck ties, shivs, .22lr, etc... sufficient does not mean preferable. shotguns are not the best home defense option for people with kids or people with people living in multiple rooms or with people with long distances in their homes. then consider the round capacity is very limited and slow to reload in common shotguns that dont have detachable mags. also, those conventional shotguns don't have the best options for mounting lights and optics. in addition, a pump shotgun cannot be conveniently operated one handed, so a person trying to manage another person (baby, kid, old person, someone hurt, someone going nuts, etc.), a dog, phone, totino's pizza rolls, etc., is going to have a harder time than with another type of gun. perhaps that may explain the 'hate'. not saying it's an end all be all, but those are some of the logical reasons behind not preferring it.
We figure our 12 gauge coach gun makes us the equal in firepower to anyone for 2 shots...and we figure the 2nd shouldn't be needed in about 99% of situations...a .38 backs it up, and we sleep well at night...those that would argue what if this, what if that, will not be satisfied sleeping in an Abrams tank...
You hit all the reasons I use the Stoeger coach gun with the 20inch barrel for home defense. Personally, I think the size difference matters a lot toward this end. Those few inches are that much easier to wield around the corners of your home. My wife and kids know how to very easily use it, and they don't have to be great shots to get the job done. I have other guns that I can access quickly, but the all around simplicity just can't be beaten as a household defense gun. Every home that can afford one should have one.
45 ROB And that was horrible advice wasn't it? I can't believe he got away with saying that. Imagine if the "bad guy in the woods" was actually an officer of the law! That could make the next couple of decades rough. Knowest thine target before though pullest thine trigger.
"Looks pretty effective to me," he says deadpan. Hilarious! Great videos full of information, humor, and insight. The well considered, balanced approach in all of your videos is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Great video Paul. Personal anecdote for you, in the 80's, mostly due to economic factors, I knew several people who acquired single barrel breakopen shotguns for home defense. For the type of real world situations you allude to, these did a fine job of defending their owners.
That's because a new generation has been introduced to firearms and the idea that they aren't some big, scary mystery boogeyman lurking around every corner just waiting to kill you and your entire family. Thanks to the internet, freedom of speech, and responsible gun owners, kids and younger adults are learning that firearms are just tools, and like all tools they can be put to good or bad use, but banning and demonizing them only keeps them out of the hands of people with the best of intentions and creates a black market for those who don't care about laws. Some people don't like the NRA, but they do help spread awareness and information about firearms and shooting sports, and a well-informed and educated voting public is one that will fight for justice and liberty, rather than being scared reactionaries who believe any lies they're told because they have no way of discerning the truth for themselves. The anti-gun crowd largely lives in the shadow of fear and doubt, with many of them being woefully ignorant about firearms, current gun laws and ownership and all that entails.
Wade French Indeed. My favourite example is the Lahti L-39. It's a WWII 20mm anti-tank rifle with a muzzle energy comparable to about three of a Nitro Express round of similar caliber. It is also illegal in Canada. Why, you might ask? Because it is a gas-operated semi-automatic long gun with a 10 round magazine. Because that's the important part: 'high' capacity semi automatic. Not it weighing nearly 120 pounds, not it being nearly seven feet long, not its wide profile bipod with attached skis. No, it's a dangerous assault weapon because it holds too many rounds and you can shoot it fast.
I grew up with a double barrel coach gun. My dad taught me when I was very little around 7 or 8 to get use to having two rounds in the gun and holding two more rounds between my fingers in the hand that holds the fore grip ready for a fast reload. Worked pretty good when needing follow up shots during rabbit hunting. I think it would do as well hunting bad guys..lol
THANK YOU! You've given strength to my existing belief. I want the quietly loading double barrel 20 Gauge that everyone in the house can operate with minimal training/re-training.
We had a Cowboy Action Shooter in our SASS club that taught technique to and competed against top law enforcement in benefit shoots for charity. He routinely beat pump shotguns holding 6 rounds in both speed and a clean shoot. (Side note, this was a hammer style double barrel! He accomplished the same with a single action 2 revolver match against a semi holding 10 rounds and the lever action rifle). Now granted he had hundreds of not thousands of hours of practice but it is possible. Great vid!
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 double barrel can fire around 20 rds per minute while pump can fire around 15 rds per minute, granted there is some more delay between shots.
That's not a particularly big one …. I think my uncles biggest was … 13stone 3? (185?). On her back legs she must have been around 7 feet. Towered over 6 foot men. Nice dog, though.
@MAGIC CLAW! LOL, he did say it was for doubles only, not semi-autos and pumps. Idea is to give you the hit of a slug and the protection of over penetration of Birdshot. Personally just use 4-8 shot out of a 12 gauge and don't worry about it, but hey in an apartment, it could be useful if you have a double.
@@mcsupersport Yeah, It's NOT for any action that manipulates the shell. Single shot or Doubles ONLY. so OBVIUSLY "manual loaded". They do "work" though!
Dana H. - "cut shells" came about as a Great Depression era expedient. My dad showed me how, but told me that it was only for "emergencies". Its not a perfect substitute for slugs, but it does do functional duty for them. Disadvantages are loss of hull for reloading, and slightly higher pressures because the hull itself is now going down the barrel also and not just the shot. Wax "slugs" are a much better approach if done correctly. The shot is poured into melted wax, and then carefully put back into the shell. Doesn't work if you just pour wax on top of the shot - wax hardens and only the top few pellets are contained. Disadvantages are that range is a bit less than cut shells or actual slugs (if your gun behaves the same as Paul's could be a lot more), but on target effect is the same, and you still have a hull you can reload, and the pressures are the same as regular shells. Of course, you can also melt the shot into a round ball mold and put the "pumpkin ball" back into the shell - that works too.
One thing Paul didn't touch on, but is extremely relevant in 2021, is ammo choice. A break open shotgun can shoot anything from mini shells to 3 inch shells (depending on the length of your chamber) . Semi autos are notorious for being ammo sensitive. Even pumps can be picky about shell selection at times. When all you can find on the LGS shelf is a box of mini shells, some 2 1/2 inch Nobel buckshot, or some Remington reduced recoil being able to shoot them in your double barrel is a plus. The first two turn your pump or semi into single shots and the reduced recoil makes your semi into a bolt gun.
That's the truth! Story time; in an actual home defense the gentleman in question said, they talk about the home invasion but not about the mess afterwards. He used a shotgun and said he was cleaning up lung, heart and bodily fluids from his floor, walls and ceiling for a good while. So I guess one shotgun blast was more then enough to get that home invasion stopped.
My, how time has passed! I was super excited the day this video was released because Paul pretty much read my mind. I had really been wanting a double barrel shotgun, but finding one seemed so far out of reach. Now I've got a beautiful old Stevens 311 that I reburbished myself mounted on my wall and couldn't be happier! Oh, and the awesome sound of those guns at 03:06 was a big factor in my decision!
I have owned a 311 that was cut off to 18.25 "s for about 20 yr.s. ; it is my camping / hiking gun. Here in W. Montana there are a lot of critters that can scratch bite and claw ! I use the two choices for ammo on most outings . #4 buck is my favorite with either a slug or dose of 00 .
Four qualities of a firearm,...... Reliable, Durable, Safe, Reasonably Priced. (Tacticool, fancy, latest and greatest not included). A firearm need not be expensive to be persuasive.
I fail to see how taping a serated knife to the end of my double barrel makes it less of those things, or makes it more expensive ;D Tacticool need not break the bank ;D
You forgot reasonably easy to use. A 12ga shotgun is a great weapon, unless your girlfriend is F'n terrified of it. If she's totally comfortable with a 10-22, then that is a better weapon for her. Just my opinion.
John Doe dude if you're worried what kind of weapon your woman is afraid of firing then that's the only one you want cuz 20 shots to your head with a 10/22 is still the same thing your dead you dig yeah good luck with that God bless
I didn't read through all of the comments so I'll apologize in advance for any redundancy, but, one of the advantages of the double is that you can break it down in to two shorter pieces for easier transport or concealment if necessary. Mine has interchangeable chokes, so that's often an advantage in hunting, yeah I know, not purely a 'home defense' issue but for folks on a budget, versatility is a plus and those short barrels make it a handy little grouse gun. About rapid reloads, Clint Smith does it by having rounds on a shell carrier on the stock and much like you did he tosses the empties over his shoulder, and like you, not super fast but effective. If you let go a couple of rounds down a hallway, folks are not going to be quite so anxious to head down toward you. Oh, I had a thought about slugs, some folks got to think about bears around their place as well as two legged varmints. Thanks for the videos, good info, well thought out.
Thanks for the nod to restrictive gun laws in Ireland Paul. I'm Irish and have inherited an under over. I also have a colt .22 semi auto handgun. Just to point out neither of these are for " self defence" as you cannot get a licence citing this as a reason. 9mm was severely restricted after 2008, at the behest of those benevolent politicians you mentioned. Obviously for own safety. Once while out jogging I had a neighbour's Irish Wolfhound snap at my heels and I can say I was relieved when his owner called him off !!! Love the channel thanks
Always a treat to watch a gun video by someone who is coherent and actually thinks things through. Paul isn't the only one, but they are few and far between.
I grew up shooting a 12 guage,two trigger double. I'm very confident and comfortable with it. While it may hold less rounds,it is quicker to reload and has outstanding balance and handling.
"Check with your solicitor before making cut shells". On a side note, I was charged once with solicitation. I assure you that it was a complete misunderstanding despite what the undercover police woman said.
I’d add the double is very reliable with less moving parts compared to other designs. Similar to a bolt-action compared to a semi-auto or lever-actions. Enjoyable video.
Paul Harrel - the way you watched that second 2 liter land at 3:12. 😂😂😂 “looks pretty effective to me”. Cracks me up over and over. I know it probably wasn’t supposed to be funny but it gets me every time
Yep, Barry was a great guy, I really miss him and his wisdom. While Eric has a different "style", I still enjoy the IRQ8888 videos. BTW: anyone else recall Barry and Eric's monster self-destruct test on the lowly Hi-Point JHP .45ACP ? Got a big kick out of that.
i will always refer to these videos for my firearms needs, no matter how old they are or how many times i've seen them. thank you for your years of service, paul
Please do not shoot cut shells through anything tighter than a cylinder bore -that is if you must at all. The shell body is wider than the bore by a critical amount and often causes extreme pressure spikes. It may not explode, but it certainly can and they have. Personally, I am not comfortable holding my hands right against a barrel that is being overpressured beyond safe maximums.
Not a proponent of cut shells, but If a metal rifled slug that very tightly fits the inside of the bore can suage through a full choke without any issue, a plastic hull full of BBs is not going to cause a problem. That's frankly ridiculous.
@@cameronnorton5898 A slug is noticeably narrower than the shell diameter. And when under pressure from the wad and propellant, the cut shell doesn't compress much at all. But more than the shell width, the gas shockwaves caused by deceleration of the projectile, cause sharp pressure spikes. Rifle barrels suffer similar fates if there are bore obstructions; the pressure spikes and causes a rupture in severe instances. It's the same reason that one shouldn't shoot 3 1/2" shells in a 3" chamber. The bore restriction and resulting pressure spike can blow out the cartridge base, or rupture the cast steel barrel. Same thing for steel shot; it is famous for bulging and splitting old shotgun barrels with tight chokes, because the increased gas pressure, velocity, and effective incompressibility of the shot load. It's not ridiculous, it's a very real cause of damage that gunsmiths deal with regularly.
@@codymoncrief8478 Slugs are a smaller diameter than the bore until they are fired. At the time of firing, the slug obtuates and the hollow design makes it expand very very tightly against the bore. If it werent for this feature there would be no gas seal, and expanding gasses would pass around the slug and it wouldn't build proper pressure or be at all accurate. You would know all this if you had studied ballistics at all, since the first conical bullets known as Minié balls worked this exact same way. It's obvious you don't know as much as you are pretending to, you're wrong about the cut shell thing and that's simply a fact that cannot be debated. You're on here spreading misinformation. No one is going to blow up thier shotgun trying out cut shells. If a solid chunk of metal that is being actively expanded against the inside of the bore with immense pressure can pass though a choke, so can a soft plastic hull full of BBs. I'll concede maybe cut shells with steel shot aren't a good idea since the steel won't deform or displace as much.
Id feel pretty safe with a double, and the short length really matters in an indoor situation. I cant even visualize a double without the image of Uncle Jesse from the Dukes Of Hazzard glaring at me over the muzzle. The ultimate old codger's "git off my land" persuader. IMO its almost axiomatic that if you are wielding a double you are defending, and not the aggressor.
Best channel of its kind on YT in my humble opinion. . Respect to Paul. He knows what he is talking about. Btw ..I'm Irish ,most of the firearms shown here I can never own ... As you say in the U.S " that really sucks ! " and indeed it does.
A double barreled shotgun, especially one in 10 gauge, holds that extreme intimidation factor when you load it and throw it over your shoulder because it shows that you're not fucking around.
A suggestion: A sidesaddle MAY aid in speeding up the reloading process in shotguns (insert shells w/brass side down). I'm what you call a NON-professional shooter, lol, ('experienced' in the the military but that's all). Many respects to you and your videos. GREAT information, thank you, Mr. Harrell!
I find Mr. Harrells videos practical, and I so appreciate the common sense approach to posed questions. I also appreciate sarcasm. Thank you Mr. Harrell.
Double barrels are great. As a well known military expert once said: "All you gotta do is fire two blasts through the front door! Go on the porch and fire 2 blasts in the air!"
Great video, I like how you stress the effectiveness of some of the more simple firearms. I'm surprised you didn't mention the reliability factor of having a double barrel, pretty much as reliable as the ammo is. Keep up the good work
Love this RU-vidr. My Father was a lifelong 'double gunner'. His gun of choice for hunting purposes was an Ithaca LeFever 12ga. double with 26" Imp./Mod bbls. The gun was probably built in the 30's and had too much stock drop for my liking; I went with and still have an Ithaca/SKB 100 in 12 ga. Anyway, to the point of slow reloading speed with the double, Dad would often carry two follow up rounds between the fingers of his weak hand, and he could fire two rounds, reload and fire two more pretty fast. With a little practice, that's four powerful rounds in pretty quick succession. And let's not forget the pucker factor of a crook staring down those two big dark barrels wielded by a home owner standing there in his skivvies recently awakened and pissed off.
It occurs to me that even though doubles are slower to reload, they may be quicker to load in the first place. If you keep your gun unloaded (b/c of kids, or whatever), you could be out of bed, pop in two shells, and out into the hall in seconds. Whereas with the pump, it might take a half minute to load the magazine.
Hi. I disagree for two reasons: one, you don't have to load more than two shells into a pump shotgun if you don't want to. Second, most pump action shotguns can be loaded without opening anything at all; you simply have to stick shells into the loading gate, then pump the slide. All things considered, if you were to load only two shells into either type of shotgun, then the difference in time will be due to how much practice you have.
I'd like to see you do a comparison video between a side by side and an over/under shotgun in terms of how they would function for hunting and home defense. Your shotgun videos are my favorite!
Ive just had a good read of loads of the viewers comments and it is of great credit to you, that you only attract sensible people, who appreciate your presentations. Ive seen the dogs in a couple of videos and beside being useful, you must realise they are a great audience puller. Great job, thanks Paul.
Paul, another great video! Thank you! I have had debates about this subject with friends and they seem to think, 12 DBL is not enough. With the right ammo, you can eliminate the problem every time! I do want to say that everyone should check their local laws on using such ammo and firearm!
My great granny passed a while ago but she swore on her double barreled shotgun. She bought it new in 89 (1889) when they moved to the Oklahoma territory and had it her entire life. I was a kid in the early 70's (1970's) so I don't really recall the details but basically, the story goes, granny was needing help with daily activities. She got lost walking next door to church & wasn't eating well. My uncles decided she needed to go to a nursing home but granny didn't want to leave her home & her tobacco garden. When my uncles showed up to take her to the nursing home, her door was blocked & she shoved her shotgun out the front window. When my uncle tells this story, he says "this prompted us to rethink our position". They ended up letting granny stay. Some people from her church started checking on her regularly and she lived a few more years until she passed away at 99 in 1974. I don't recall granny having problems but I was 9 when she passed away. My mother tells me granny was kind of losing her mental abilities & they did take the shotgun away after that incident. lol Anyways, I can't hear anything about a double barreled shotgun without thinking of granny. I really wish I had of been a little older and had a better memory of her stories about moving west. I only have vague memories of her but everyone in my mother's generation says she was like Granny on Beverly Hillbillies. A double barreled shotgun wouldn't be my first choice but if that's all I could legally have, I think one would do just fine.
I don't know if she bought it or if it was a gift but, as far as I know, age limits were not set on buying firearms until the Gun Control Act Of 1968. Back in the 80's, here in New Mexico, people used to sell & trade personnel journals of cowboys or people settling the west, just average people. One time I got one from a 15yo boy & he was saving up to buy a new Colt. lol He also loved Ice cream and Iced Beer. I was amazed to find that yes indeed, Tombstone AZ had an Ice Cream parlor in the 1880's.
I only vaguely recall her. I recall a few stories she told, I recall everyone being upset when they tried to put her in a home & that's about it. I am mostly going on the story as it's passed down through the family. Did she buy it? Maybe, maybe it was a gift, maybe it was purchased by the family for the trip west & she just kinda took it over as the years passed. I don't know exactly. We do know it was purchased in 1889 before the family moved west and as long as anyone can recall it was her shotgun & she was holding it in a photo taken a year or two after they built their house. Now, explaining all that gets wordy & doesn't flow well in a story. So yep, you got me. I don't know for sure if she bought the gun or if her father bought the gun for her. lol Kids back then did buy their own guns. The big issue back then would be getting the money for one. Guns were far more expensive than they are today. Could a young girl have saved up $20 or so $.10 at a time? Maybe, maybe not but, if you think exactly how the shotgun became hers is an important detail, you really need to get a life.
Thanks Paul. Very didactic video as usual. In Europe (in my case France) Rubber slugs or rubber pellets are very popular, easy to source in caliber 12 and 16, and generally tolerated by law in Self defense since their use testify about concern of the user not to cause lethal damages ; they are non lethal at medium distance (7 to 10 m) but very painful; deadly at very short distance . This is what I use. If reloading is impossible it can become an excellent baton / truncheon. Side by Side shotgun are no longer popular versus Over/under shotgun, which makes them very cheap to buy and shorten barrels down to 45 cm (18" , less being not legal in France) . All hunters or licensed shooters can buy one. The older versions shooting black powder only are free for every citizen over 18.
The wink at 2:11 made me a committed Paul Harrell fan and supporter. I was already a subscriber but now I KNOW he's the real deal! :) Besides his videos make more sense than 99% of the others. Well Done Mr. Harrell!
