    Why you cannot 'clear a hallway' with a shotgun

    For anyone that plays too many video games and thinks that the spread on a shotgun will let you shoot from the hip and clear the hallway of badguys, here's a nice Youtube video from hickok showing why that just won't happen.



    ALWAYS aim your weapon.

    edit: Sorry about that, video fixed!

                put it in the shotgun forum - WAAAAY too many people in their think a shotgun will spread buckshot across a thirty foot section
                you don't rise to the occasion,
                you just fall back on your level of training.

                  Shotguns aren't generally "aimed", they are pointed - just sayin'.

                    Make games doing that alot - hehehe I normally make then sterile. When you switch to #2 and #4 shot it tends to open a bit with an 18" I/C barrel, but for sure nothing like the movies. But them what in shooting is.
                    I'm only smiling at you while you talk to me because it's hilarious that you really think I give a crap about you.

                    As I've gotten older I thought I was gaining patience, then I realized I simply don't give a crap.

                      Jaymz... "pointing" isn't limited to shotguns.

                        True. But the OP was talking about shotguns, so that's all I mentioned. You can also point fingers!

                          You don't need to aim that's why there's Akimbo!

                              Interesting...I've heard on more than one occasion though, that #4 shot is more appropriate for an HD situation, especially in hallways. This is a question I've been wrestling with a bit recently, I've picked up a few different loads and am looking forward to getting out for some testing of my own.




                              ETA: Youtube link from another thread where the same subject came up (12g in HD situation, what load is appropriate), thought I'd share it here also
