VIDEO: How Fast Can You Shoot a Shotgun?

But when your semi-auto jams due to weather or dirt in action or type of load, can it be cleared as fast as a PUMP? I think not! I will use both but rely on the Pump for SHTF or defense purposes.
 
I'd wager that I can get my M4 apart quicker than you can get your pump apart.

Highly doubt that any condition that would jam mine, wouldn't do the same to your pump.

'nuff said.
 
Too bad,Paul,that we're a thousand miles apart. The next video could be an 870 vs M4 teardown. I'm fairtomiddlin' at breaking down an 870.

As for reliability, it's a close call. The 870's a tough act to follow....
 
I own both a Remington 870 and a M4 Benelli.

In every respect, the Benelli M4 is, by far, my favorite:

Handling
Functioning
Accuracy
Tear down/cleaning/reassemble
 
I use an older Ithaca Model 37 DeerSlayer.
Bottom load.
Bottom eject.
Natural carry position is hand under Bottom load/eject port- it stays clean.

Works for me !!!
 
Impressive mag dump. It would be neat to see the M4 run a couple of practical shotgun drills at speed.

Set up 5 mini poppers at 15 yds 1 yd apart. If you can drop all 5 in 2.5 seconds or less you will be word class fast.

Another good test of practical shotgun skills is two poppers at 15 yds about 15 feet apart. Load two shells, one in mag and one in tube. Shoot one popper, load 8 shoot the other. 4-5 seconds is FAST.

Clays can be sustituted for steel.
 
Gentle reminder:

The purpose/point of the video is to demonstrate how quickly the Benelli M4 semi-automatic shotgun will cycle. The heart of the M4 is the Benelli ARGO system. I am making NO claims for/about the guy shooting the shotgun, except that he has a very itchy trigger finger with apparently one one good way to scratch it.

Results? "Pretty darn fast."

:cool:

Witch was FAST Great video Amsdorf : )

It depends on how long the magazine tube you have on it is.

If you have a full length magazine tube, as does the one in the video, you can put 7 2.75 shells in the magazine, one in the chamber, and "float" or "ghost load" or "carrier load" one shell on the carrier.

Total capacity = 9.

7+1+1
 
I am brand new to this forum, however I am not new to forums. I was browsing/looking at videos and I was very impressed with this video. I am not impressed with the responses on here. Maybe there is some history is Amsdorf that I don't get, but I see no reason to criticized a video that was meant to show one thing - Fast firing of a 12 gauge.

I was told about this site from a friend. He said you will find great camaraderie on this forum. If all threads are like this one, I don't see the point in wading through trolling BS to get to a bit of info that I could find somewhere else.
