Its bizarre to think about the government deciding that it will not allow citizens to arm themselves while not guaranteeing their safety at the same time.
Well if you are not armed they don't have to care about what you want, all authority is derived from force after all and if you lack the ability to apply force you have no authority. Why the Second Amendment was written partly is to give the people of the US something more than a vote to keep our government in line. Feel really bad for the Brits currently as they are completely at the tender mercies of their government.
@@taliawtf6944 very true government will tell you violence is never the answer while they send men with guns to your house to collect your unpaid taxes all government authority is enforced with threat of violence for the non compliant
Fully automatic civilian owned weapons in the US are extremely regulated and relatively rare. When he said rapid fire, he just meant that for a "semi-auto" (in which each shot has an individual trigger pull versus a single pull for an automatic) it cycles very fast because of the engineering of the firearm.
My neighbor owns one and when he shoots, I slobber. It's real entertaining when we decide to shoot and so do our neighbors cause it sounds like a mini war!
My personal view on firearms is they are just like condoms… I’d rather have one and not use it than need it and not have one. The only difference being is I hope to never NEED to use a gun.
Or a fire extinguisher. I would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it, and you don't want to be forced to use either a fire extinguisher or gun.
I don't need a car I just don't want to walk 10 miles to work, I don't need a computer it's just easier then living off the grid, I don't need 30 rounds to defend myself, just makes it a lot more likely I'm successful at it, all you NEED is food water and sleep
That last gun required additional paperwork and $200 tax stamp because it is classed as a SBR (short barrel rifle). Other items that require the addition paperwork and tax stamp are; short barrel shotguns, silencer/ suppressors, machine guns, etc. Only machine guns manufactured and registered before 1986 are legal, so they are very expensive (most are $8,000 +).
I always thought it was silly to require firearms like SMGs to have a extended barrel, mainly because doing so makes it more effective at ranges. Like, congrats on making it harder to hide, but it'll have better chances of hitting a distant target. Like for weapons like the P90, the standard is a 10inch barrel but the civilian variant effectively turns a SMG, one that's already pretty good at range, into a DMR with a 50 round magazine
No one should ever use a SBR for home self defense, what a pain it would be to never get that expensive investment back after the investigation is over.
After that young man being in the news not long ago for breaking into people's homes in Britain and harassing them , I'd imagine there's alot of citizens in the UK who wish they had the right to defend themselves
A few points as an American and a Gun Owner. 1) As far as laws, it varies from state to state. I live in one of the more strict states in the US but we're still, likely, incredibly liberal with our gun laws by UK standards. We need a specific license that we have to apply for (requires state ID, background check, etc.) to buy a gun or even ammo. Some states just require a state ID. We have a 3 day waiting period for any gun purchase. Some have none. You're not allowed to open carry (so can't have a gun strapped to your hip for all to see). Some states allow open carry with or without a license. In order to conceal carry (so in a purse or under cloths) you have to go to a 16 hour course and apply for a license which takes months to get. Some states allow conceal carry without a license. As far as storing the gun, you don't need to. Can be loaded on a counter. Not smart to do that, but not necessarily illegal. 1A) You're not allowed to have an Automatic Weapon outside of very closely regulated Gun Shops. You can't have them for private ownership. Semi-Automatic only. So one pull of the trigger, one bullet downrange. It drives me nuts when Politicians can't get this right. If you're going to regulate something at least know what you're talking about. Rifles (at 5.56 and 7.62 caliber) are regulated based on barrel length. I think if you get under 16" it's considered a Short Barreled Rifle and there are extra regs on it and you're not allowed to have a "stock" on it. If you want to know what qualifies as a stock... Well... That's more complicated than you think. If it's a 9mm or .45 it also get complicated. 2) It's all fine and good for the 3 of you to talk about how you would defend your home with a baseball bat or a golf club or a knife, but a couple of things to consider. I don't want the fight to be fair if someone is in my home. Normally if you're going to break into a house it's going to be more than one person. So you've got a knife... Cool, what if they do too? Or a hatchet, or a crowbar, etc. You're not going to win that fight and now you're dead and so is your family. I want to be able to be AS armed or better armed than the people breaking into my house. If I hear a ruckus downstairs my plan is pretty simple. Have my wife call the police and while she does that I'm getting my rifle and laying down at the top of my staircase (primarily because my stairs are really squeaky so if I go down them they'll hear me coming a mile away). If they start coming up the stairs where my family is then they're done (maybe they get a warning, maybe they don't. Depends). I'm willing to let them steal stuff downstairs for as long as it takes the police to get there but the second they become a danger to myself and my family they've forfeit their lives. A lot easier to win that case in courts too because lawyers will argue that if you go downstairs to engage them, YOU are actually the aggressor... I don't agree but you're putting your life in the hands of jurors in that case. If I can say, "I stayed upstairs and they came to me." then that's a lot easier to win. 2A) Also, you're big strong lads. But what if it's your daughter or sister off living on their own or your wife is home alone one night? You don't want her only option to be a golf club because she's going to lose. Guns are the great equalizer. It doesn't matter if you're a 6 foot, 220 pound fitness king or a 5 foot 4 inch, 120 pound, tiny little thing. A gun will allow you to kill the intruder.
your laws sound like illinois but could be wrong moved from there to guntucky 2 1/2 years ago might suggest you do the same or even missouri pretty much same gun laws there if you meet the age requirements and can own a gun yiou can carry it just an id to buy and just a state id to carry most places in ky if you have the ccdw dont even need a background check to buy also no waiting periods on non nfa items as soon as fbi says proceed you take it and go home even without the ccdw you can get a gun in like 30 minutes take longer to fill out 4473 than to get a proceed most of the time
A good point I recently heard. The first people that came over from England brought their own rifles, and had to defend themselves in North America. With no military. That was the beginning of American firearms ownership. 🤔 Got to go reload now. Best wishes guys. 😁
The first colonists were defenseless against native Indian attacks. A massacre happened at Jamestown and also there was a mass starvation event due in part because the colonists were afraid to step outside the fort due to hostile Indians
A misconception about home defense, is that it's YOUR choice as to what you NEED to protect yourself. Fact is, it's what the other guy has brought to the fight, that will determine what you need. The old saying rings true "Never bring a knife to a gun fight!" Always plan for the worst-case scenario.
Yes. Plus in the USA anyway, it's called the Bill of RIGHTS not the bill of NEEDS. It's so bizarre that everyone who is critical of guns say, "explain why you need that" like they expect an answer. It's none of your business. I like what the guy said toward the end about make sure it's something you're extremely familiar with. That's the most important thing for me. When people are under stress they make mistakes it's just that simple.
I live in a rural area and the nearest police station is 6 miles (or just under 10km) away. If someone is breaking into your house calling the cops and waiting is a death sentence. Most of America is actually spread pretty far apart outside of the cities.
and in the city if you live in a bad neighborhood they might not show up for 30 minutes, if they show up at all. New Orleans is having a police shortage right now, and a woman was worried she was about to be assaulted but they told her they couldn't help her. it took 2 hours for a cop to show up and by that time the potential threat was gone.
Pistols seem to be the typical go to for home defense, but a lot of people don't realize that pistols are also the hardest to actually hit your target with. Rifles and long barrel firearms have their own issues with their usability inside a home, especially an older home. Short barreled shotguns are probably the most in home use friendly (As strange as that sentence sounds lol). Regardless, the key thing is training. If you're not trained and understand your weapon and know how to use it confidently, then you are more of a danger to yourself or those around you with one than it will keep you safe.
Many states in the US like mine do not require you to keep your guns and ammo separate and is perfectly fine to have them loaded at all times, my state doesn't even require you to keep your firearm locked away. Many states also have a stand your ground law, if someone is a direct threat to your life, you are allowed to "stand your ground" and defend your self
@@torstenheling3830 well considering he doesn't have to play by any rules I would say that gives him the upper hand. As the victim of a home invasion you have to understand that the law is on the Invaders side not yours if anything goes down. Unfortunately and a lot of this country they have the right to break into your house steal your stuff in safety. You as the homeowner are expected to make your house a safe place for someone to rob. After all that criminals life is more valuable than any of your stuff for your safety. It's better that everything you ever worked for an unreplaceable family heirlooms be stolen from you and you be tied up with your teeth kicked in then that poor person robbing you get even a scratch on their precious little head.
@@torstenheling3830 so you have your grandfather's pocket watch that he carried through the second world war just going to let that walk out the door I mean you have insurance they'll buy you a brand-new Timex to replace it? Some things are worth dying for just ask the guy breaking into your house to take it
100% legal in my state When I was like 12 I had a gun cabinet in my room with my .410 and 22lr in it, the ammo was kept in the bottom door. Nearly every other kid around here also had a gun cabinet in their room with guns, or had wall mounts with their guns on their walls. Not once was there ever any accidents or incidents with them, in fact the only two account I can think of where a kid shot another kid by accident both happen in anti gun homes, where a parent had a gun hidden somewhere just in case someone broke in, and their kids were left home alone and found the gun. ...sadly because of all the druggies around now you cannot risk not keeping your guns locked in a safe.
The most accurate part was about keeping your gun parts separate….. like you want me to wait until I heard an intruder and then put my gun together?😂😂 might as well not have a gun
@@ronny-lb1cr Shotgun pellets spread out when you shoot one. So like the guy was saying. "Peppering" the intruder. Depending on the load, Like a 10, 12, or 20 gauge. That determines how many pellets the shotgun shell holds. So you really don't have to aim so much as just fire in the general direction of what you want to hit. Most times, just racking a shotgun is enough to scare of most intruders. But yeah, it can be very messy and also shooting one off in close quarters like a hallway is going to make you go deaf for a few minutes. Most people watch movies and have no idea how violent of a kick and how loud a shotgun can be.
Just remember, engaging someone with a hand held weapon (bat/golf club/knife) becomes practically useless if the other person tags you in the face with some pepper spray. Youre gonna be swinging wild while they just take their time with you. You want to be able to keep distance while stoping someone.
Or, even a knife (which are controlled at least in London...yep I'm as serious as a heartattack. It was IMMEDIATLY followed by a steep reduction in violent crime) hahahahahaha
21:27 Dave no it is not fully auto. He says rapid fire because it is low recoil and easy to control. Meaning you can take quick trigger pulls without loosing control of the gun. But it is still a semi-automatic , not a fully automatic.
Good luck defending yourself with a knife as the burglar blasts you away with his pistol 😂 and to answer your question daz, here in my state a shotguns barrel can’t be shorter than 18 inches. It’s not fully auto Dave. The Kris Vector has a counter weight system built into the gun that keeps the barrel down. Theres virtually zero recoil so you can rapid fire it in the sense that you don’t have to reacquire your target.
You can own a fully automatic weapon in America as long as it was registered with the bureau of alcohol tobacco on Firearms before May 1986. These are referred to as civilian transferable machine guns and they are expensive because of the artificially induced finite supply. Basically after 1986 is prohibited for civilians to purchase. so now we have entire generation that has been disenfranchised. It is truly a have and have not society we created, totally pay to play. How logical…a machine gun is so much less dangerous when you have to spend $25,000-$100,000 and pay $200 tax to the government. This is absolutely a big middle finger to the middle-class, and the poor people of our country that deserve to have the same access that the rich and powerful do.
Ehhhh you pay the government a $200 tax stamp to get your rights back. It's fucking stupid. Meanwhile the whole 2A 3d printing community is giving a big fuck you to the federal government. I can could build a full auto AR in less than a day.
Thats only for FFL's and they can produce machine guns for demonstration purposes only. Any citizen can own a full auto firearm made before 1986 that has been registered with the ATF, his is called a transferable machine gun and also requires a tax stamp.
There are restrictions on full auto firearms or rifle/shotgun barrel lengths (he mentions "SBR" which means "short barreled rifle") Owning either of those requires a $200 tax stamp, a more extensive background check, etc., and it can take months or even a year for all of that to go through. When he mentioned "rapid fire" he was referring to the Kriss Vector being semiautomatic - which means that you pull the trigger and it shoots one shot, then reloads and you have to pull the trigger again for the next shot. (as opposed to the more restricted full auto where you pull the trigger and it keeps firing until you let off the trigger or run out of ammunition) For my own home defense, I carry a 9 mm pistol most of the time and keep a 12 gauge pump shotgun by the bed. I also have various AR-15s, AKs, etc. , but realistically, my home defense is the shotgun or whatever handgun I happen to be carrying that day.
Fully automatic firearms have been basically banned in USA for decades, that vector is semiautomatic. You can purchase pre-ban automatics but theyre prohibitively expensive and if youre rich enough to buy one it has to be registered and you pay a special tax.
The female thing is pretty fair, ive taken several girls shooting over the year and many (not all) have problems racking the slide on a normal semi auto pistol, they also shy away from shooting a 12ga, even with a light birdshot load let alone a slug. Some chicks i take shooting may shoot the 12ga once, and they usually dont want to again......though to be fair, a lot of my guy friends dont like it either unless its a very light birdshot load.
@@diannadavis1362 I mean, usually it's basic physics, 95-125lb girls tend not to handle recoil as well as 150-200lb dudes. Can't say I know any 95-115lb dudes though lol
I remember that guy. I watched a video where they try to destroy a cheap Hi-Point pistol. Despite them laughing at it for being a cheap and ugly gun, many of their attempts to destroy it failed. The older bearded guy (forgot his name) that used to be on that channel has sadly passed away.
Hi points may be hard to break but they're as likely to malfunction as they are to fire. My first pistol was a hi-point, and I probably would've had better luck using it as a brick to beat someone with than trying to shoot em.
The response on the Kriss vector always makes me laugh 🤣. It’s really no different than the Glock handgun in terms of action. You can still only own a semi-automatic version of the gun unless you have a class 3 license which isn’t easy to get, or cheap. It’s still only going to fire one round for each pull of the trigger, unless you have the licenses to own a fun switch.
21:38 He said the paperwork was because it's an SBR (Short Barrel Rifle). If you have a two-handed weapon that has a short barrel length, you have to go through a strict process just to be allowed to legally own it.. Which doesn't make sense, because that gun is basically just a slightly longer barreled pistol that you use with 2 hands. Same caliber as a .45 pistol.
I carry a glock 19, with 147 grain HST ammunition,as my everyday carry and home defense. I changed the trigger system from it because I think they have one of the worst triggers. It now has a flat face trigger, which I love.
We do have licenses to own full-auto weapons but you can't legally just own one without it. Now gun ranges can rent full auto guns because of the licensing and insurance they carry but guns like that and a AR-15 platform are semi-auto so you pull the trigger once and one round comes out just like any other. Rapid fire tends to mean smooth trigger meaning it's easier to repeatedly pull the trigger without straying away from a Target.
I shot that last gun, the Kriss Vector .45, a submachine gun. It's been a while, but If I remember correctly, it would cost more than $16,000. And that's if you passed the 6-month background check, which, even if you had a CHL in Texas at the time, you'd still have to submit to another FBI check. And there's a $200 fee for the license because it's categorized a Class III weapon
No country with self respect would disarm its citizens. It’s truly tragic what has happened to the UK and Europe in general. Especially seeing the reaction to the recent terrorist attack in Israel by Hamas. I can’t imagine people supporting that inhumanity.
If a person is breaking into your home there is a good chance he doesn't care about the law or said consequences of breaking the law. If said criminal also has a gun there isn't much you are going to be able to be able to do to protect yourself. When you make it difficult for a law abiding citizen to procure a gun you don't stop the crime, nor do you take the illegal guns off the street.
Hey guys. About that Smith & Wesson Judge, when he was talking about "410" he was referring to a size of shotgun shell. There are 3 sizes of shotguns in descending order of size: 12-gauge, 20-gauge, and 410. Those sizes refer to the sizes of the shells that go into the gun. The bigger the shell, the more gunpowder (i.e., speed of the projectiles) and more projectile content within the shell. That Smith & Wesson Judge is unique because it is a handgun that fires a 410 shotgun shell. Handguns don't normally shoot shotgun shells. Have you ever read the lyrics to Pantera's Cowboys From Hell song? Remember the line when he refers to his "double-barrel, 12-gauge"? A double-barrel shotgun means, as the name implies, that it's a gun with 2 side-by-side barrels and 2 triggers, so the song lyrics means he's going to blast whatever or whoever simultaneously with 2 of the largest gauge shotgun shells available and it's going to make a great big Kaboom lol.
I agree, how dare a citizen decide the level of force to use against a person or persons wanting to harm (in who knows what ways) his loved ones, that is just horrible!
I think it depends on where you look. I'm in GA and a guy that owns a local tire shop sells him to his customers lol they're pretty common in florida as well
@@Grimm-UGA I'm not saying they are more common in the UK. I'm talking regulation. If you have a FAC in the UK you can just get the can over the counter. U.S. needs the tax stamp and one year plus wait.
I often take for granted that I can defend my home here in the United States. It continuously amazes me that it's illegal to defend yourself in your own home in the UK. I guess that's the difference between being a citizen and being a subject of The Crown.
You guys really need to start reacting to some Demolition Ranch videos. You'll get the review of the gun and some shots down range (often at funny targets).
I agree smaller people can learn to handle stout recoil. for people who are recoil sensitive, it's often psychological. Telling them they are shooting a less powerful gun, or actually feeling less recoil when shooting, is more of a morale thing to build confidence
In the US home invasions are commonly 2+ criminals, with 4 being common. They also more commonly occur in poorer areas that are not well patrolled by police. In the chaos of a shooting, you are lucky if 50% of your rounds find a target and even luckier if they have a truly instant deleterious impact on the intended target.
you can have full auto in the states but you need extra paperwork, the standard person does not have one. We can have semi auto (one trigger pull = one bullet discharged) in most states without restriction. In most states there arent restrictions on storying them either.
The thing you have to remember is in the USA, if a person breaks into your home knowing you are in the home, they are likely armed with a deadly weapon and it is most likely a gun. So having a firearm for home defense makes perfect sense. Still it must be noted that in most states "stand your ground laws" are not in effect so in order to use deadly force on an intruder you have to be able to show that you had no means of safe egress, were being directly threatened and had no time to exit, or were acting to protect others in the home who were under potential threat from the intruder. An example would be if you could leave via another door but you shot the intruder anyway, it could result in a criminal charge. However if that intruder were moving towards someplace where other occupants were (A staircase leading to your children's bedrooms for instance), then you could use deadly force to stop them and it would fall under self-defense limitations.
I get watching this and thinking that it’s extreme, but I was just in Europe, and I couldn’t have a Swiss Army Knife in my pocket in Italy. When I was told of knife amnesty boxes in the UK, I immediately knew that gun policy advice from much of Europe is moot in America (and for good reason).
They are talking about banning ''zombie knives'' in the UK and Canada. So don't let the ''common sense control" people tell you it's not a slippery slope while they lube you up.
I watch a lot of that guy's videos. He's a veteran of the Iraq war. I have a Mossberg 88 12 gauge but my first choice is my .45 pistol with the 10 round magazine. Easier to maneuver in tight spaces & less likely to make me deaf for the rest of my life if I shoot it in my house. FN makes a 45 pistol with an 18 round magazine called the FN 545 Tactical but it's a little expensive.
The last gun is usually used for when for an example if you lived in a city called Chicago in a gang broken your house and your not going to get the police until an hour later
As far as home defense goes, I keep my carry gun (Springfield 1911 government) loaded with 8 rounds of 185 gr +P JHP next to my bed. It's only there to get me to my SA58. My neighbors aren't that close so 7.62 NATO over penetration isn't an issue and I don't have to be concerned that the perps might be wearing body armor.
Semi-auto fires as fast as you can pull the trigger. That's what he meant by rapid fire. Fully automatic weaponry is illegal for the average citizen, you have to have very specific licenses. The places in vegas that let you shoot have a special firearms license to have the weapons covered along with the sale of ammunition. Then they just let you use the weapon on their property.
21:31 It is insanely expensive in the USA to buy a fully auto gun. Their manufacturer was banned in 1986 and you can only buy an original model from before them, and therefore it's upwards of 70,000 to get one What he means by rapid fire is since it's low recoil, you're ready to take your next shot because you're already aiming again. But you've seen in the movie when a gun is so powerful that it kicks up in the air and then they have to bring it back down and point it at the target again... He's saying that doesn't happen, you pull the trigger and it has such a low recoil, that your eyeball is already lined up with the target and you can just take your next shot
As an FYI, in most areas in the US, it is illegal to actually have more than 3 shells loaded into a shotgun, regardless of what the real capacity is. Most of the time, this only becomes an issue if you're hunting and a game warden or someone similar stops you. You're legally required to allow game wardens, park rangers, etc. to inspect your hunting weapons. If you're found to have more than 3 shells in the shotgun, you could face anything from a minor fine all the way up to potential jail time. That said, if the shotgun is in your home, the likelihood of anyone knowing whether you have more than 3 shells loaded is pretty damn small.
I just bought 2 handguns in 2 days down in South Alabama. Less then 40 minutes to get each one… I can’t believe the gun laws in the UK, however there are many countries with worse gun laws so could be worse…🤷🏻♂️🇺🇸🇬🇧
If I'm forced to defend myself, my family, or my property because someone else chose to commit a burglary/push-in/kick-in, or chose to commit a R or M, I want the odds to be overwhelmingly my favor. None of this equal/proportionate use of force BS.
Honestly, a single shot "disposable" gun sounds really useless unless it's high caliber. A single, lets say, 9mm bullet does not have the stopping power a lot of people assume, and if someone (especially a bigger person) intends to hurt you or your family, a poorly aimed 9mm round probably won't do it. Also, there's nothing sexist about acknowledging the fact that your average woman will have a harder time physically using a gun than your average man. It's just biology lol
Most tube magazine shotguns are the same. They come with a bamboo rod in the tube that limits you to holding 3 rounds in the magazine and 1 in the chamber so it’s called 3+1. But unscrew the magazine cap, remove the rod which is legal here and you have a capacity of 6+1 although you still are only allowed to have 3 rounds in the gun for hunting to make it more sportsmanlike. Here capacity doesn’t matter only the amount of ammunition you’re allowed to have in various situations. But for home defense have as much as you like as it’s private property and on said property you define your own personal limits.
To lend some 'merican sense, a good closer quarters alternative to a 7 iron is a weighted practice club (i.e., a club grip with a fraction of the shaft and a weighted end). They can measure perhaps half or third the length of a normal golf club. If you're looking for an edge, I'd say a full-tang steel tanto for medium-close quarters. Something like the Tops quikie or a minimal length karambit or ring knife if best for the closest engagements; keep in mind in practice, you will cut your hand w/o some way to anchor a knife. OC spray (if allowed) and a bat, and most importantly good cell service prob ur best defense in most cases
I can't see any weapon for self-defense that requires you to get close to the invader (knife, truncheon, golf club) because what are you going to do when he grabs your weapon and takes it away from you and uses it on YOU?
For the record the gentleman in video is a licensed FFL and makes his living in the firearms industry. Not all of us can can measure or fire arms in tonnage, but we can still dream...
I have seen a few stories of people getting sued and even going to jail in the UK and Canada because the homeowner harmed a home invader, or the home invader hurt themselves while breaking into the home and then sued the homeowner. From my experience not a lot of people I know or have met don't really know much about ammo, despite hunting or owning and firing guns for decades, even Joe Rogan has been blasted about getting ammo and silencers wrong. Just because someone hunts or likes shooting guns doesn't mean they know everything about them. Just for rifles not counting shotguns, there are something like around 27 different calibers and then there are different variants of those calibers which total to like 53 different calibers. They range from .17 cal or 4mm to .50 car or 12.7mm, the scary AR-15 is around the 4th smallest caliber. Then you have different types of ammo for each caliber Ammo can come in different bullet weights and speeds for the same caliber. Some ammo types are Training ammo: is usually cheap soft metals or Wadcutters or Frangible, people also use Full Metal Jacket Hunting ammo: which are usually Ballistic Tip, Bonded Bullet, Soft Point Competition Shooting ammo: Truncated Cone Bullet and Flat Nose Self Defense ammo: Hollow Point Other Ammo: This is usually for long range shooting or shooting stuff to do damage, your steel core ammo and "Color Tips" such as Green/Black, Blue, Orange etc. These will usually be called "military" rounds, some even need paperwork to buy, and outside of Orange Tips which are tracer rounds people usually won't be shooting these mainly because of their cost, paperwork, and the lack of a need to do so. From my experience people usually grab the box of ammo of their favorite gun/ammo manufacturer, the the ammo box that has the animal they are going to be hunting, or whatever box has the best sounding marketing pitch
The extra paperwork he is referring to is the gun is an nfa gun. Its barrel length is under 16 inches making it a short barreled rifle which is also a regulated firearm but not as heavily regulated as a machine gun. It requires a $200 tax stamp and registry of the firearm to own it.
45 ACP is a handgun round. Larger slug which will stop a grown man in his tracks. The gun itself is just "scary looking". But just a reengineered handgun.
There are quite a few revolvers that will shoot .410 shotgun shells, but are actually chambered for either .45 Colt or .454 Casull. The last firearm is chambered in a pistol cartridge caliber (9x19 mm or .45ACP). If full auto it would be classed as an SMG.
In the U.S. a civilian may own a myriad of firearms. The may be semiautomatic or fully automatic with the right paperwork, state dependent. Rifles need to have 16 inch length barrels, but with the right paperwork can be shorter, classifying it as an SBR(short barrel rifle).
I don’t leave my home security to chance. Home insurance? Police? No, I rely on Glock, CZ, Benelli and Daniel Defense. Plenty more when it’s required. The rest of the world can have their ways to defend individual homes. Here, in many areas, America personal defense is priority.
Would be nice to show how it fires at the range. Also AUTOMATIC rifles take a special tax stamp. These guns are semi-auto, fires as fast as you can pull the trigger. My .40 Glock is a 10 bullet mag. Bullets are like 1$ each. Here in Calif you have to jump thru hoops to obtain one.
Love ya blokes to visit, if you're ever in America. I'll teach you from pistol to long range shooting out to a mile. As well as how to hunt with bow and any other for whatever
The idea that you will fight off an intruder with a golf club is almost laughable to me And that’s one unarmed intruder. Never mind multiple and or armed intruders Especially when they are planning the attack, and you are reacting. Usually at night or when you’re sleeping
It's always weird to me how people think shotguns are only lethal at 12g. 20g does the job just fine in home defense situations. The guy in the video is correct.
An AXE !? Bro y’all are crazy imagine thinking guns are brutal . If a cop shows up I’d assume a decapitated burglar is harder to explain . You British are scary , I’d never think of axing someone to bits
If you remove the plug in the magazine tube of shot gun you could get up to 8 rounds. You could also add on a magazine tube extension to add more capacity
The last weapon is semiautomatic. No newly manufactured automatic firearms have been manufactured for civilian use since 1986. Grandfathered older automatics are available, but they're NFA firearms, require registration and a $200 federal tax. They're extremely expensive. An M16 will cost $15k to $20k in used condition.
When I lived in the Midwest. If I stepped a foot on your farm I was on your property. We went out smoking one time and were out in the country off a side road...man drove by and backed up and told us this was Uncle's farm and he might not by so nice if he finds us here and as I look on the ground and see shotgun shells When I turned 18 went in bought a shotgun and left that day with it.
I’ve watched two reactions to this video, and in both cases when the vector comes out, everyone starts chirping “FuLLy AuToMaTiC”. Just because of the way it looks.
There is an issue with Glock and that is negligent discharge because of the trigger safety. If you don't have solid finger discipline, it may not be the gun for you. Also, never buy a firearm because someone says this is the gun to buy. This is especially so for pistols.
The handgun is shooting various ammo. Shotgun shell and other more conventional bullets. A Taurus Raging Judge shoots shotgun shells and 454 casuls, longcolts and others.
I understand that in the UK you don't have much of gun culture as opposed to us here in the US so some of the things you were laughing at were because you just don't know or understand. When he talked about shotguns/handguns that may be better suited for females, if you owned either shotguns (Dave, apparently your lady is an exception regarding shooting a .12 Gauge) and handguns you'd know that many of them are heavy and very and hard to control for a typical female frame and specifically for handguns pulling the slide easily. Again, in general. Eric in the video is an Iraq war veteran and knows his firearms and his customers. He's been doing this for a long time and is just imparting his observations from experience here in the US. I'm a veteran and own multiple firearms and have been hunting and shooting for sport my entire life and agreed with pretty much everything he said. Once again, this is from my US perspective. To me he made absolute sense.
Its bizarre to think about the government deciding that it will not allow citizens to arm themselves while not guaranteeing their safety at the same time.
Well if you are not armed they don't have to care about what you want, all authority is derived from force after all and if you lack the ability to apply force you have no authority. Why the Second Amendment was written partly is to give the people of the US something more than a vote to keep our government in line. Feel really bad for the Brits currently as they are completely at the tender mercies of their government.
@@taliawtf6944 very true
government will tell you violence is never the answer
while they send men with guns to your house to collect your unpaid taxes
all government authority is enforced with threat of violence for the non compliant
Difference between being a "subject" which Brits actually are, and a "citizen"
That's because they're scared of their citizens being armed
Fully automatic civilian owned weapons in the US are extremely regulated and relatively rare. When he said rapid fire, he just meant that for a "semi-auto" (in which each shot has an individual trigger pull versus a single pull for an automatic) it cycles very fast because of the engineering of the firearm.
My neighbor owns one and when he shoots, I slobber. It's real entertaining when we decide to shoot and so do our neighbors cause it sounds like a mini war!
My personal view on firearms is they are just like condoms… I’d rather have one and not use it than need it and not have one. The only difference being is I hope to never NEED to use a gun.

That last gun required additional paperwork and $200 tax stamp because it is classed as a SBR (short barrel rifle).
Other items that require the addition paperwork and tax stamp are; short barrel shotguns, silencer/ suppressors, machine guns, etc.
Only machine guns manufactured and registered before 1986 are legal, so they are very expensive (most are $8,000 +).
I always thought it was silly to require firearms like SMGs to have a extended barrel, mainly because doing so makes it more effective at ranges. Like, congrats on making it harder to hide, but it'll have better chances of hitting a distant target. Like for weapons like the P90, the standard is a 10inch barrel but the civilian variant effectively turns a SMG, one that's already pretty good at range, into a DMR with a 50 round magazine
And they take forever. A year easy on waiting time to get my suppressor.
Thank you for knowing what you’re talking about. So often, people make shit up.
@@scarletjester7831 Right? It's crazy.
No one should ever use a SBR for home self defense, what a pain it would be to never get that expensive investment back after the investigation is over.
After that young man being in the news not long ago for breaking into people's homes in Britain and harassing them , I'd imagine there's alot of citizens in the UK who wish they had the right to defend themselves
You talking about mizzy?
A few points as an American and a Gun Owner.
1) As far as laws, it varies from state to state. I live in one of the more strict states in the US but we're still, likely, incredibly liberal with our gun laws by UK standards. We need a specific license that we have to apply for (requires state ID, background check, etc.) to buy a gun or even ammo. Some states just require a state ID. We have a 3 day waiting period for any gun purchase. Some have none. You're not allowed to open carry (so can't have a gun strapped to your hip for all to see). Some states allow open carry with or without a license. In order to conceal carry (so in a purse or under cloths) you have to go to a 16 hour course and apply for a license which takes months to get. Some states allow conceal carry without a license. As far as storing the gun, you don't need to. Can be loaded on a counter. Not smart to do that, but not necessarily illegal.
1A) You're not allowed to have an Automatic Weapon outside of very closely regulated Gun Shops. You can't have them for private ownership. Semi-Automatic only. So one pull of the trigger, one bullet downrange. It drives me nuts when Politicians can't get this right. If you're going to regulate something at least know what you're talking about. Rifles (at 5.56 and 7.62 caliber) are regulated based on barrel length. I think if you get under 16" it's considered a Short Barreled Rifle and there are extra regs on it and you're not allowed to have a "stock" on it. If you want to know what qualifies as a stock... Well... That's more complicated than you think. If it's a 9mm or .45 it also get complicated.
2) It's all fine and good for the 3 of you to talk about how you would defend your home with a baseball bat or a golf club or a knife, but a couple of things to consider. I don't want the fight to be fair if someone is in my home. Normally if you're going to break into a house it's going to be more than one person. So you've got a knife... Cool, what if they do too? Or a hatchet, or a crowbar, etc. You're not going to win that fight and now you're dead and so is your family. I want to be able to be AS armed or better armed than the people breaking into my house. If I hear a ruckus downstairs my plan is pretty simple. Have my wife call the police and while she does that I'm getting my rifle and laying down at the top of my staircase (primarily because my stairs are really squeaky so if I go down them they'll hear me coming a mile away). If they start coming up the stairs where my family is then they're done (maybe they get a warning, maybe they don't. Depends). I'm willing to let them steal stuff downstairs for as long as it takes the police to get there but the second they become a danger to myself and my family they've forfeit their lives. A lot easier to win that case in courts too because lawyers will argue that if you go downstairs to engage them, YOU are actually the aggressor... I don't agree but you're putting your life in the hands of jurors in that case. If I can say, "I stayed upstairs and they came to me." then that's a lot easier to win.
2A) Also, you're big strong lads. But what if it's your daughter or sister off living on their own or your wife is home alone one night? You don't want her only option to be a golf club because she's going to lose. Guns are the great equalizer. It doesn't matter if you're a 6 foot, 220 pound fitness king or a 5 foot 4 inch, 120 pound, tiny little thing. A gun will allow you to kill the intruder.
your laws sound like illinois but could be wrong moved from there to guntucky 2 1/2 years ago might suggest you do the same or even missouri pretty much same gun laws there if you meet the age requirements and can own a gun yiou can carry it just an id to buy and just a state id to carry most places in ky if you have the ccdw dont even need a background check to buy also no waiting periods on non nfa items as soon as fbi says proceed you take it and go home even without the ccdw you can get a gun in like 30 minutes take longer to fill out 4473 than to get a proceed most of the time
A good point I recently heard. The first people that came over from England brought their own rifles, and had to defend themselves in North America. With no military. That was the beginning of American firearms ownership. 🤔 Got to go reload now. Best wishes guys. 😁
The first colonists were defenseless against native Indian attacks. A massacre happened at Jamestown and also there was a mass starvation event due in part because the colonists were afraid to step outside the fort due to hostile Indians
Based reloadpilled individual. Have a good day bro.
A misconception about home defense, is that it's YOUR choice as to what you NEED to protect yourself. Fact is, it's what the other guy has brought to the fight, that will determine what you need. The old saying rings true "Never bring a knife to a gun fight!" Always plan for the worst-case scenario.
Yes. Plus in the USA anyway, it's called the Bill of RIGHTS not the bill of NEEDS. It's so bizarre that everyone who is critical of guns say, "explain why you need that" like they expect an answer. It's none of your business. I like what the guy said toward the end about make sure it's something you're extremely familiar with. That's the most important thing for me. When people are under stress they make mistakes it's just that simple.
I live in a rural area and the nearest police station is 6 miles (or just under 10km) away. If someone is breaking into your house calling the cops and waiting is a death sentence. Most of America is actually spread pretty far apart outside of the cities.
and in the city if you live in a bad neighborhood they might not show up for 30 minutes, if they show up at all. New Orleans is having a police shortage right now, and a woman was worried she was about to be assaulted but they told her they couldn't help her. it took 2 hours for a cop to show up and by that time the potential threat was gone.
Pistols seem to be the typical go to for home defense, but a lot of people don't realize that pistols are also the hardest to actually hit your target with. Rifles and long barrel firearms have their own issues with their usability inside a home, especially an older home. Short barreled shotguns are probably the most in home use friendly (As strange as that sentence sounds lol).
Regardless, the key thing is training. If you're not trained and understand your weapon and know how to use it confidently, then you are more of a danger to yourself or those around you with one than it will keep you safe.
Many states in the US like mine do not require you to keep your guns and ammo separate and is perfectly fine to have them loaded at all times, my state doesn't even require you to keep your firearm locked away. Many states also have a stand your ground law, if someone is a direct threat to your life, you are allowed to "stand your ground" and defend your self
Because it completely negates the purpose of having a gun if I have it in 10 different pieces in 10 different lock safes
@@heywoodjablowme8120 it makes perfect sense if you want the criminal to win the engagement
@@torstenheling3830 well considering he doesn't have to play by any rules I would say that gives him the upper hand. As the victim of a home invasion you have to understand that the law is on the Invaders side not yours if anything goes down. Unfortunately and a lot of this country they have the right to break into your house steal your stuff in safety. You as the homeowner are expected to make your house a safe place for someone to rob. After all that criminals life is more valuable than any of your stuff for your safety.

100% legal in my state
When I was like 12 I had a gun cabinet in my room with my .410 and 22lr in it, the ammo was kept in the bottom door. Nearly every other kid around here also had a gun cabinet in their room with guns, or had wall mounts with their guns on their walls. Not once was there ever any accidents or incidents with them, in fact the only two account I can think of where a kid shot another kid by accident both happen in anti gun homes, where a parent had a gun hidden somewhere just in case someone broke in, and their kids were left home alone and found the gun.
...sadly because of all the druggies around now you cannot risk not keeping your guns locked in a safe.

@@heywoodjablowme8120 thanks for explaining
@@ronny-lb1cr Shotgun pellets spread out when you shoot one. So like the guy was saying. "Peppering" the intruder. Depending on the load, Like a 10, 12, or 20 gauge. That determines how many pellets the shotgun shell holds. So you really don't have to aim so much as just fire in the general direction of what you want to hit. Most times, just racking a shotgun is enough to scare of most intruders. But yeah, it can be very messy and also shooting one off in close quarters like a hallway is going to make you go deaf for a few minutes. Most people watch movies and have no idea how violent of a kick and how loud a shotgun can be.
Just remember, engaging someone with a hand held weapon (bat/golf club/knife) becomes practically useless if the other person tags you in the face with some pepper spray. Youre gonna be swinging wild while they just take their time with you. You want to be able to keep distance while stoping someone.
Or, even a knife (which are controlled at least in London...yep I'm as serious as a heartattack. It was IMMEDIATLY followed by a steep reduction in violent crime)
hahahahahaha
21:27 Dave no it is not fully auto. He says rapid fire because it is low recoil and easy to control. Meaning you can take quick trigger pulls without loosing control of the gun. But it is still a semi-automatic , not a fully automatic.
Good luck defending yourself with a knife as the burglar blasts you away with his pistol 😂 and to answer your question daz, here in my state a shotguns barrel can’t be shorter than 18 inches. It’s not fully auto Dave. The Kris Vector has a counter weight system built into the gun that keeps the barrel down. Theres virtually zero recoil so you can rapid fire it in the sense that you don’t have to reacquire your target.
You can own a fully automatic weapon in America as long as it was registered with the bureau of alcohol tobacco on Firearms before May 1986. These are referred to as civilian transferable machine guns and they are expensive because of the artificially induced finite supply. Basically after 1986 is prohibited for civilians to purchase. so now we have entire generation that has been disenfranchised. It is truly a have and have not society we created, totally pay to play. How logical…a machine gun is so much less dangerous when you have to spend $25,000-$100,000 and pay $200 tax to the government. This is absolutely a big middle finger to the middle-class, and the poor people of our country that deserve to have the same access that the rich and powerful do.
You can get some fully automatic weapons over here but you do have to have a special certificate or license for it. It’s definitely not common.
Ehhhh you pay the government a $200 tax stamp to get your rights back. It's fucking stupid. Meanwhile the whole 2A 3d printing community is giving a big fuck you to the federal government. I can could build a full auto AR in less than a day.
Thats only for FFL's and they can produce machine guns for demonstration purposes only. Any citizen can own a full auto firearm made before 1986 that has been registered with the ATF, his is called a transferable machine gun and also requires a tax stamp.
They are also EXTREMELY price restrictive.
@@jasondraughon8825 ya you’re right. If you have the money and don’t have any charges you can get whatever but, most people don’t
@@MrIagainsti120depending on what State you live in.
There are restrictions on full auto firearms or rifle/shotgun barrel lengths (he mentions "SBR" which means "short barreled rifle") Owning either of those requires a $200 tax stamp, a more extensive background check, etc., and it can take months or even a year for all of that to go through. When he mentioned "rapid fire" he was referring to the Kriss Vector being semiautomatic - which means that you pull the trigger and it shoots one shot, then reloads and you have to pull the trigger again for the next shot. (as opposed to the more restricted full auto where you pull the trigger and it keeps firing until you let off the trigger or run out of ammunition) For my own home defense, I carry a 9 mm pistol most of the time and keep a 12 gauge pump shotgun by the bed. I also have various AR-15s, AKs, etc. , but realistically, my home defense is the shotgun or whatever handgun I happen to be carrying that day.
Fully automatic firearms have been basically banned in USA for decades, that vector is semiautomatic. You can purchase pre-ban automatics but theyre prohibitively expensive and if youre rich enough to buy one it has to be registered and you pay a special tax.
The female thing is pretty fair, ive taken several girls shooting over the year and many (not all) have problems racking the slide on a normal semi auto pistol, they also shy away from shooting a 12ga, even with a light birdshot load let alone a slug. Some chicks i take shooting may shoot the 12ga once, and they usually dont want to again......though to be fair, a lot of my guy friends dont like it either unless its a very light birdshot load.
You need to be a little more selective of the females you take to the range.
@@diannadavis1362 I mean, usually it's basic physics, 95-125lb girls tend not to handle recoil as well as 150-200lb dudes. Can't say I know any 95-115lb dudes though lol

He was awesome on Duck Dynasty
Hi points may be hard to break but they're as likely to malfunction as they are to fire. My first pistol was a hi-point, and I probably would've had better luck using it as a brick to beat someone with than trying to shoot em.
You aren’t free if you can’t own guns. The civilians own more guns than the military in the us, and we are proud of that.
The response on the Kriss vector always makes me laugh 🤣. It’s really no different than the Glock handgun in terms of action. You can still only own a semi-automatic version of the gun unless you have a class 3 license which isn’t easy to get, or cheap. It’s still only going to fire one round for each pull of the trigger, unless you have the licenses to own a fun switch.
21:38 He said the paperwork was because it's an SBR (Short Barrel Rifle).
If you have a two-handed weapon that has a short barrel length, you have to go through a strict process just to be allowed to legally own it.. Which doesn't make sense, because that gun is basically just a slightly longer barreled pistol that you use with 2 hands. Same caliber as a .45 pistol.
One of many firearm regulations that simply makes no sense and was written by folks who have never even shot a gun.
I can't wrap my mind around not being able to defend myself and my family.
I would never even consider moving to the UK.
I carry a glock 19, with 147 grain HST ammunition,as my everyday carry and home defense. I changed the trigger system from it because I think they have one of the worst triggers. It now has a flat face trigger, which I love.
We do have licenses to own full-auto weapons but you can't legally just own one without it. Now gun ranges can rent full auto guns because of the licensing and insurance they carry but guns like that and a AR-15 platform are semi-auto so you pull the trigger once and one round comes out just like any other. Rapid fire tends to mean smooth trigger meaning it's easier to repeatedly pull the trigger without straying away from a Target.
I shot that last gun, the Kriss Vector .45, a submachine gun. It's been a while, but If I remember correctly, it would cost more than $16,000. And that's if you passed the 6-month background check, which, even if you had a CHL in Texas at the time, you'd still have to submit to another FBI check. And there's a $200 fee for the license because it's categorized a Class III weapon
No country with self respect would disarm its citizens. It’s truly tragic what has happened to the UK and Europe in general. Especially seeing the reaction to the recent terrorist attack in Israel by Hamas. I can’t imagine people supporting that inhumanity.
If a person is breaking into your home there is a good chance he doesn't care about the law or said consequences of breaking the law. If said criminal also has a gun there isn't much you are going to be able to be able to do to protect yourself. When you make it difficult for a law abiding citizen to procure a gun you don't stop the crime, nor do you take the illegal guns off the street.
Hey guys. About that Smith & Wesson Judge, when he was talking about "410" he was referring to a size of shotgun shell. There are 3 sizes of shotguns in descending order of size: 12-gauge, 20-gauge, and 410. Those sizes refer to the sizes of the shells that go into the gun. The bigger the shell, the more gunpowder (i.e., speed of the projectiles) and more projectile content within the shell. That Smith & Wesson Judge is unique because it is a handgun that fires a 410 shotgun shell. Handguns don't normally shoot shotgun shells. Have you ever read the lyrics to Pantera's Cowboys From Hell song? Remember the line when he refers to his "double-barrel, 12-gauge"? A double-barrel shotgun means, as the name implies, that it's a gun with 2 side-by-side barrels and 2 triggers, so the song lyrics means he's going to blast whatever or whoever simultaneously with 2 of the largest gauge shotgun shells available and it's going to make a great big Kaboom lol.
I agree, how dare a citizen decide the level of force to use against a person or persons wanting to harm (in who knows what ways) his loved ones, that is just horrible!
Want to know what's messed up? Its easier to get a suppressor in the UK than it is in the US.

Most Glocks or Smith & Wessons run about $500 or more. I heard a gun guy say that guns are like tattoos, you never just have one.
I often take for granted that I can defend my home here in the United States. It continuously amazes me that it's illegal to defend yourself in your own home in the UK. I guess that's the difference between being a citizen and being a subject of The Crown.
You guys really need to start reacting to some Demolition Ranch videos. You'll get the review of the gun and some shots down range (often at funny targets).
Kentucky Ballistics too!
I agree smaller people can learn to handle stout recoil. for people who are recoil sensitive, it's often psychological. Telling them they are shooting a less powerful gun, or actually feeling less recoil when shooting, is more of a morale thing to build confidence

7:28 I immediately thought of Bill Burr, when he said spread.
It’s got a good spread 😂😂😂
In the US home invasions are commonly 2+ criminals, with 4 being common. They also more commonly occur in poorer areas that are not well patrolled by police. In the chaos of a shooting, you are lucky if 50% of your rounds find a target and even luckier if they have a truly instant deleterious impact on the intended target.
you can have full auto in the states but you need extra paperwork, the standard person does not have one. We can have semi auto (one trigger pull = one bullet discharged) in most states without restriction. In most states there arent restrictions on storying them either.
Class III is a little more than just "extra paperwork".
@@Swearengen1980 not really.
The thing you have to remember is in the USA, if a person breaks into your home knowing you are in the home, they are likely armed with a deadly weapon and it is most likely a gun. So having a firearm for home defense makes perfect sense. Still it must be noted that in most states "stand your ground laws" are not in effect so in order to use deadly force on an intruder you have to be able to show that you had no means of safe egress, were being directly threatened and had no time to exit, or were acting to protect others in the home who were under potential threat from the intruder. An example would be if you could leave via another door but you shot the intruder anyway, it could result in a criminal charge. However if that intruder were moving towards someplace where other occupants were (A staircase leading to your children's bedrooms for instance), then you could use deadly force to stop them and it would fall under self-defense limitations.
I get watching this and thinking that it’s extreme, but I was just in Europe, and I couldn’t have a Swiss Army Knife in my pocket in Italy. When I was told of knife amnesty boxes in the UK, I immediately knew that gun policy advice from much of Europe is moot in America (and for good reason).
They are talking about banning ''zombie knives'' in the UK and Canada. So don't let the ''common sense control" people tell you it's not a slippery slope while they lube you up.
I watch a lot of that guy's videos. He's a veteran of the Iraq war. I have a Mossberg 88 12 gauge but my first choice is my .45 pistol with the 10 round magazine. Easier to maneuver in tight spaces & less likely to make me deaf for the rest of my life if I shoot it in my house. FN makes a 45 pistol with an 18 round magazine called the FN 545 Tactical but it's a little expensive.
I have a fn 509c tactical. Best handgun I've ever bought
The last gun is usually used for when for an example if you lived in a city called Chicago in a gang broken your house and your not going to get the police until an hour later
Guntalk and military talk is so hilarious and f****** cool
People are still asking why do you need guns, AR15 or similar rifles.🙄
Look what happened in Israel. 😐
As far as home defense goes, I keep my carry gun (Springfield 1911 government) loaded with 8 rounds of 185 gr +P JHP next to my bed. It's only there to get me to my SA58. My neighbors aren't that close so 7.62 NATO over penetration isn't an issue and I don't have to be concerned that the perps might be wearing body armor.
Semi-auto fires as fast as you can pull the trigger. That's what he meant by rapid fire. Fully automatic weaponry is illegal for the average citizen, you have to have very specific licenses. The places in vegas that let you shoot have a special firearms license to have the weapons covered along with the sale of ammunition. Then they just let you use the weapon on their property.
21:31 It is insanely expensive in the USA to buy a fully auto gun. Their manufacturer was banned in 1986 and you can only buy an original model from before them, and therefore it's upwards of 70,000 to get one
What he means by rapid fire is since it's low recoil, you're ready to take your next shot because you're already aiming again.
But you've seen in the movie when a gun is so powerful that it kicks up in the air and then they have to bring it back down and point it at the target again... He's saying that doesn't happen, you pull the trigger and it has such a low recoil, that your eyeball is already lined up with the target and you can just take your next shot
A golf club? Lol. The shaft is hollow. Who wants to be in a knife fight? What happens if they have a gun?
Grow up...
That last gun shot .45 caliber rounds.. So it's the same caliber of .45 pistols, but made into a compact two-handed weapon.
I think I remember y'all reacting to their older video on the same topic. It featured an older bearded guy who, unfortunately, has since passed.
RIP Barry
As an FYI, in most areas in the US, it is illegal to actually have more than 3 shells loaded into a shotgun, regardless of what the real capacity is. Most of the time, this only becomes an issue if you're hunting and a game warden or someone similar stops you. You're legally required to allow game wardens, park rangers, etc. to inspect your hunting weapons. If you're found to have more than 3 shells in the shotgun, you could face anything from a minor fine all the way up to potential jail time. That said, if the shotgun is in your home, the likelihood of anyone knowing whether you have more than 3 shells loaded is pretty damn small.
I just bought 2 handguns in 2 days down in South Alabama. Less then 40 minutes to get each one… I can’t believe the gun laws in the UK, however there are many countries with worse gun laws so could be worse…🤷🏻♂️🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thanks for the videos guys.. Makes my day seeing y’all’s videos pop up. DemoRanch & Kentucky Ballistics are both great gun channels.
If I'm forced to defend myself, my family, or my property because someone else chose to commit a burglary/push-in/kick-in, or chose to commit a R or M, I want the odds to be overwhelmingly my favor. None of this equal/proportionate use of force BS.
More of this sort, ASAP
"Citizens" are armed. "Subjects" aren't. If you can't own guns, you aren't really free.
Jealous fellas?
Ohhh absolutely 😂
watching this with my 1911, .357 colt python, mossberg in the corner and ar15 under my couch🤣 and thats just in this room
Honestly, a single shot "disposable" gun sounds really useless unless it's high caliber. A single, lets say, 9mm bullet does not have the stopping power a lot of people assume, and if someone (especially a bigger person) intends to hurt you or your family, a poorly aimed 9mm round probably won't do it.
Also, there's nothing sexist about acknowledging the fact that your average woman will have a harder time physically using a gun than your average man. It's just biology lol
Daz is buying one of these bad boys once he settles in Bama 😀
Most tube magazine shotguns are the same. They come with a bamboo rod in the tube that limits you to holding 3 rounds in the magazine and 1 in the chamber so it’s called 3+1. But unscrew the magazine cap, remove the rod which is legal here and you have a capacity of 6+1 although you still are only allowed to have 3 rounds in the gun for hunting to make it more sportsmanlike. Here capacity doesn’t matter only the amount of ammunition you’re allowed to have in various situations. But for home defense have as much as you like as it’s private property and on said property you define your own personal limits.
To lend some 'merican sense, a good closer quarters alternative to a 7 iron is a weighted practice club (i.e., a club grip with a fraction of the shaft and a weighted end). They can measure perhaps half or third the length of a normal golf club. If you're looking for an edge, I'd say a full-tang steel tanto for medium-close quarters. Something like the Tops quikie or a minimal length karambit or ring knife if best for the closest engagements; keep in mind in practice, you will cut your hand w/o some way to anchor a knife. OC spray (if allowed) and a bat, and most importantly good cell service prob ur best defense in most cases
I can't see any weapon for self-defense that requires you to get close to the invader (knife, truncheon, golf club) because what are you going to do when he grabs your weapon and takes it away from you and uses it on YOU?
With crime getting so bad and local policies emboldening criminals, you better get tooled up.
For the record the gentleman in video is a licensed FFL and makes his living in the firearms industry. Not all of us can can measure or fire arms in tonnage, but we can still dream...
I have seen a few stories of people getting sued and even going to jail in the UK and Canada because the homeowner harmed a home invader, or the home invader hurt themselves while breaking into the home and then sued the homeowner.
From my experience not a lot of people I know or have met don't really know much about ammo, despite hunting or owning and firing guns for decades, even Joe Rogan has been blasted about getting ammo and silencers wrong. Just because someone hunts or likes shooting guns doesn't mean they know everything about them.
Just for rifles not counting shotguns, there are something like around 27 different calibers and then there are different variants of those calibers which total to like 53 different calibers.
They range from .17 cal or 4mm to .50 car or 12.7mm, the scary AR-15 is around the 4th smallest caliber.
Then you have different types of ammo for each caliber
Ammo can come in different bullet weights and speeds for the same caliber.
Some ammo types are
Training ammo: is usually cheap soft metals or Wadcutters or Frangible, people also use Full Metal Jacket
Hunting ammo: which are usually Ballistic Tip, Bonded Bullet, Soft Point
Competition Shooting ammo: Truncated Cone Bullet and Flat Nose
Self Defense ammo: Hollow Point
Other Ammo: This is usually for long range shooting or shooting stuff to do damage, your steel core ammo and "Color Tips" such as Green/Black, Blue, Orange etc. These will usually be called "military" rounds, some even need paperwork to buy, and outside of Orange Tips which are tracer rounds people usually won't be shooting these mainly because of their cost, paperwork, and the lack of a need to do so.
From my experience people usually grab the box of ammo of their favorite gun/ammo manufacturer, the the ammo box that has the animal they are going to be hunting, or whatever box has the best sounding marketing pitch
The extra paperwork he is referring to is the gun is an nfa gun. Its barrel length is under 16 inches making it a short barreled rifle which is also a regulated firearm but not as heavily regulated as a machine gun. It requires a $200 tax stamp and registry of the firearm to own it.
45 ACP is a handgun round. Larger slug which will stop a grown man in his tracks. The gun itself is just "scary looking". But just a reengineered handgun.
Dude on the right has always seemed like a high strung liberal to me… Like “Home defense? Looks like he’s going to war! Har har har”… C’mon Bruv..😂
There are quite a few revolvers that will shoot .410 shotgun shells, but are actually chambered for either .45 Colt or .454 Casull. The last firearm is chambered in a pistol cartridge caliber (9x19 mm or .45ACP). If full auto it would be classed as an SMG.
Reminded me of Bill Burr. When he wanted to buy a guy. "Its got a good spread"..
Guns: better to have one and not need it than need it and not have one.
In the U.S. a civilian may own a myriad of firearms. The may be semiautomatic or fully automatic with the right paperwork, state dependent. Rifles need to have 16 inch length barrels, but with the right paperwork can be shorter, classifying it as an SBR(short barrel rifle).
I don’t leave my home security to chance. Home insurance? Police? No, I rely on Glock, CZ, Benelli and Daniel Defense. Plenty more when it’s required. The rest of the world can have their ways to defend individual homes. Here, in many areas, America personal defense is priority.
Would be nice to show how it fires at the range. Also AUTOMATIC rifles take a special
tax stamp. These guns are semi-auto, fires as fast as you can pull the trigger. My .40
Glock is a 10 bullet mag. Bullets are like 1$ each. Here in Calif you have to jump thru
hoops to obtain one.
I hate it when I have to clear the stoppage from my Glock box.
Love ya blokes to visit, if you're ever in America. I'll teach you from pistol to long range shooting out to a mile. As well as how to hunt with bow and any other for whatever
The idea that you will fight off an intruder with a golf club is almost laughable to me
And that’s one unarmed intruder. Never mind multiple and or armed intruders
Especially when they are planning the attack, and you are reacting. Usually at night or when you’re sleeping
It's always weird to me how people think shotguns are only lethal at 12g. 20g does the job just fine in home defense situations. The guy in the video is correct.
An AXE !? Bro y’all are crazy imagine thinking guns are brutal .
If a cop shows up I’d assume a decapitated burglar is harder to explain .
You British are scary , I’d never think of axing someone to bits
If you remove the plug in the magazine tube of shot gun you could get up to 8 rounds. You could also add on a magazine tube extension to add more capacity
The last one is a 9mm pistol surrounded in scary black plastic.
16:24 Golden quality quip. Two American thumbs up.
The last weapon is semiautomatic. No newly manufactured automatic firearms have been manufactured for civilian use since 1986. Grandfathered older automatics are available, but they're NFA firearms, require registration and a $200 federal tax. They're extremely expensive. An M16 will cost $15k to $20k in used condition.
The guns look like thay are for war but they are just semi-auto rifles. One shot per trigger pull.
Im glad im stuck in between having glock or Smith&Wesson as a reliable handgun for self defense because neither of the ones i got haven't jammed🤷🏾♂️💯
So when Daz moves to the U.S, you guys can come shooting. Right to carry here in Texas. 😎
Here in the States, rifles like the last one he displays are semi auto.
When I lived in the Midwest. If I stepped a foot on your farm I was on your property. We went out smoking one time and were out in the country off a side road...man drove by and backed up and told us this was Uncle's farm and he might not by so nice if he finds us here and as I look on the ground and see shotgun shells When I turned 18 went in bought a shotgun and left that day with it.
I’ve watched two reactions to this video, and in both cases when the vector comes out, everyone starts chirping “FuLLy AuToMaTiC”. Just because of the way it looks.
There is an issue with Glock and that is negligent discharge because of the trigger safety. If you don't have solid finger discipline, it may not be the gun for you. Also, never buy a firearm because someone says this is the gun to buy. This is especially so for pistols.
If ons doesn't have solid trigger control, no gun is good for them
The handgun is shooting various ammo. Shotgun shell and other more conventional bullets. A Taurus Raging Judge shoots shotgun shells and 454 casuls, longcolts and others.
I understand that in the UK you don't have much of gun culture as opposed to us here in the US so some of the things you were laughing at were because you just don't know or understand.
When he talked about shotguns/handguns that may be better suited for females, if you owned either shotguns (Dave, apparently your lady is an exception regarding shooting a .12 Gauge) and handguns you'd know that many of them are heavy and very and hard to control for a typical female frame and specifically for handguns pulling the slide easily. Again, in general.
Eric in the video is an Iraq war veteran and knows his firearms and his customers. He's been doing this for a long time and is just imparting his observations from experience here in the US. I'm a veteran and own multiple firearms and have been hunting and shooting for sport my entire life and agreed with pretty much everything he said. Once again, this is from my US perspective. To me he made absolute sense.
My only break-in here in Canada was three large guys at 3 am - don't know if it was my 7-iron or nakedness, but they sure left in a hurry.
