There's a common misconception that you can simply point shotguns in the right direction to eliminate a threat. The shotgun spread varies, but as Mickey demonstrates, you still need to aim the shotgun. Mickey tests a variety of common tactical and hunting shotguns to show the spread at five, ten, and fifth teen yards. Most of these test use double-odd buck shot. See the links below to jump to a specific shotgun. *SHOTGUN CHOKES DIAGRAM LINK: https://goo.gl/Nv72xt TABLE OF CONTENTS: 0:31 - OPENING -- 5 and 10 Yards -- 1:58 - MOSSBERG 500, 12 Gauge, 18.5 in.Barrel, Cylinder Bore 3:51 - SMITH AND WESSON 916A, 12 Gauge, 20 in.
