Is Saiga 12 Takika version available for USA purchase?

May 4th, 2010 by eranio

This is the shotgun with an extended magazine well and other new
features to utilize AK action in slug or shot throws. It makes even
the new Mossberg Tactical retail look lame.

How to disassemble a shotgun slug safely?

April 18th, 2010 by eranio

I have a live 12ga 2.75” – 70MM Remington shotgun slug that I want to take take apart.

I know you set them off by hitting the back with the hammer, but how sensitive is it? I’ve always been afraid to drop ammunition on the ground for fear of it going off. Just how sensitive is it?

Pointers on disassembly?

Why do people use shotgun slugs?

February 18th, 2010 by eranio

What exactly is the purpose of using a slug? Wouldn’t it be better to just use a rifle with a bullet? I thought the whole purpose of shotguns was their spread. Is it just to make shotguns multi-functional?

February 15th, 2010 by eranio

I bought this gun for deer hunting, but the question is can this gun shoot slugs without anything special needed. And if so what kind (brand) slug. And can a buckshot do the trick. Thank You

can you shoot a slug or buckshot out of a turkey shotgun?

December 30th, 2009 by eranio

I have been looking at mossberg 835 ultra-mag tactical turkey shotgun, and i don’t want to just only shoot turkey loads out of it, i would like to be able to hunt deer, partridge, and or waterfowl, but i don’t know if i can shoot any other type of ammo out of it, i know you cant shoot a slug threw it while the choke is in it but im not sure if you can shoot another type of ammo out of it.

Just got a mosberg 500 tactical, first shotgun, don’t know much about them and need help.?

December 22nd, 2009 by eranio

Alright, so I just bought a mosberg 500 tactical persuader for 400 plus tax etc from a sporting store. I’ve never had a shotgun before, and I’m a total noob when it comes to shotguns. I have a few questions, first can someone simplify the ammunition? What is buck shot? Bird shot? etc etc. I know what a slug is, a solid projectile, but I don’t understand the difference between all the other ones.

Here is the ammunition I got, anyone know anything about this ammunition? I just grabbed a random one that said 12 guage on it, since I new my shotgun was 12 guage.

This is the right ammunition right?

I just got the gun for shooting at the range for fun. I’m not even sure how to chamber these rounds yet. Also, does anyone know where to get blank ammo? Dummy ammo, that u can just use to load and unload for demonstration purposes?

Referring to a smoothbore double barrel shotgun, how far does a rifled slug go before it tails off? Can I aim?

November 19th, 2009 by eranio

at a good sized target 50 yards away and have the slug hit the target with both barrels?

Anyone else hunt in a state where only shotguns are allowed for deer season?

November 13th, 2009 by eranio

Iowa and parts of Southern Wisconsin mandate that deer hunters use shotguns. Now, my stupid question is this: I’ve seen Hornady 20 gauge sabot slugs advertised as having 1800 fps of snot to them. Now, my 170 grain .30-30 has about 2100. If the whole reason for using shotguns is because of how far a projectile may go, isn’t using this super-shotgun ammo kind of defeating the purpose?! I suppose a shotgun slug will not carry 2 miles, but from what it said on that box, no drop out to 150 yards.

Secondly, if you’re allowed to hunt with a .357 pistol for deer, why can’t you hunt with a .410 slug?

I know rules are rules, but some of them seem kind of stupid. But, it does seem that technology has bypassed some of these rules. (Super sabots)

What are the differences between the Remington 11-87 and 870 model shotguns?

November 10th, 2009 by eranio

Is the 11-87 semi-automatic where the 870 is a pump model?

Whis is better for both home self-defense and hunting (with a slug?). Thanks.
