The very basics ( high level) of how to use a shotgun for a beginner. As with all my videos, I recommend some hands on time at a range with a certified instructor to show you in person, but on a high level, these are the very basics of how to use a shotgun. I should also note because I forgot to mention it in the video, this is a 12 gauge shotgun and the ammo ( cartridges) and put into the tube with the brass piece towards the back, or Butt if the gun.

You should have said that when the slide is pumped after a shot is fired, that it should be done rapidly, and with some force. Doing it slowly like you did in the demonstration could cause the empty shell to not eject properly, or the next round to not chamber properly.

Super helpful, I really appreciate the time you took for this. I just purchased my first pump shotgun and wanted to make sure I was good to go before I head to the range. Much appreciated for us shotgun beginners. I always learn something when I watch RU-vid and you did not disappoint

@waynerogers166 Год назад

Thank you. Very detailed. Been 25 years since i loaded and shot a gun . With world events like you said , i went to walmart and purchased a 12 guage mossberg. My 1st gun was a remington 870 express shotgun. Nice to brush up my knowledge and will be checking out more of your videos. From Roanoke,Va.

Thank you so much for these videos! I watch these to impress my Texan boyfriend who is into guns (I’m Dutch myself) so I don’t look like a total noob when he takes me out shooting for the first time. It’s really nice to know how to handle these guns safely since it’s scary for me. Once again, thank you for the easy explanation!

@salliepower8751 Год назад

My husband past away and his shot gun was left loaded with a round in the chamber. I watched this video in hopes of learning how to unload it. I thought it was unloaded ! Thank you for this video. You make it look so simple to unload the gun. Unfortunately I'm still to afraid to try it. I'm a senior citizen. I do wish instructions like yourself. Would let gun owners know that they need to make sure to teach their families how to unarm the weapon. In case something happens to them. I just put the gun away and will ask a police officer to come to my home and unload it for me. So that I can sell it. I don't want to take it out of my house with a round in the chamber. In my husband's defence he had brain cancer before his death so I hid his gun from him. I still can't believe he kept a round in the chamber like that !!

Pretty solid stuff man, I recently purchased my first firearm (Mossberg 88) and am waiting to pick it up in the shop when it arrives. I tested it out in the range along with the 500 to make my decision. You mention a lot of the stuff the RSO did during my test firing of these guys, solid vid for beginners!

@BGAWK69 3 года назад

I've watched a bunch of these videos and you explained it the best. Informative, clear, easy to follow. Friendly suggestion - you've gotta work on the camera skills (I know it's not easy since you said you're a one-man show). Angle it up so the gun is center, get closer if you can, maybe use a different surface. I bet you'll get more views and reach more people that way

Guys, the Mossberg Maverick 88 is an excellent shotgun, I live in bear territory, and let me tell you, the maverick 88 it's flawless, and the price is half than those fancy and expensive ones, I paid in my local store for a brand new Maverick 88 12 gauge shotgun ONLY $190.

Could you create a video displaying the differences between .22, .380, and 9 mm handguns?

Stupid question, just bought One. Can you accidentally load the shells backwards? And is it always loaded the same on most pumps ? (Bought a Radikal tactical pump-12 gauge

@mrsugmad 2 года назад

No, impossible because of the metal (brass) at the base has a small flange; it can't go into the 'hole' where the shells go.

@666Lachrimae666 3 года назад

Hm... is it a pump? I mean honestly best thing to do without someone there to assist you is read the manual, if you mean the forearm on a pump there's using something called the action release and it'll be somewhere near the trigger guard you push it down and then you can move the forearm (thus revealing the chamber) as necessary.... of course following all safety rules such as keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and making sure the gun is unloaded.

@jenniferjones4249 3 года назад

@@666Lachrimae666 Ty I found the action release so I'm able to rack it now. My Instructor in Shooters World did not show this to me or tell me there is one. No wonder I was having such a hard time racking it.

@666Lachrimae666 3 года назад

@@jenniferjones4249 You're welcome, i'm glad you figured it out ^.\\ Yeah it locks shut once you close the chamber but that's why the action release is there so that if you have a shell in the chamber you can unload it without having to you know.. fire it off to be able to move the forearm again xD A safer way than that though is at the bottom (if it feeds in the magazine tube through the bottom, I think all pumps do) where you would load rounds into the magazine tube you push up that bottom piece up and there's a little bar on the side there that you can push in when you push that in It releases the shell from the magazine tube then you just have to pull the forearm back (with the help of the action release) to eject the shell completely... that's safer than completely chambering and unchambering a shell. I recently bought my first shotgun so i'm learning as well xD
