Nah. If I was the vet there, I would be legit worried about my kids playing outside, my wife couldn’t leave the house and this guy is just shooting and threatening people. The dad is doing his job protecting his family
Texan here. Everyone has guns here. You’re crazy if you don’t. But you have to understand that 99% of us use them correctly and safely. It’s only the psychopaths and drunk people who do this type of crap.
Can confirm, I’ve lived in North Carolina, Texas, and California. About half the people I knew carried in NC, most the people I knew in TX, and pretty much no one carried in CA. I always felt safer and more comfortable with the Texans and Carolinians, they won’t shoot you, but they wouldn’t hesitate to use it to protect someone. Over here inSoCal, if the regular Joe carried a gun, I could not say I would be confident in his ability to use it. Always felt less safe out here where you see more gangsters with unlicensed firearms than good people with licensed ones.
Fun fact. Legally armed law abiding citizens break less laws than even the police. And are held to a higher stringent of behavior and standards when carrying out in day to day life.
A fact you just can't back up and just pulled out of your a--. Every shooter is a law abiding citizen until they're not. The nerve to say this with the amount of gun violence in this country. Allowing you to have a gun, whether or not you are law abiding, allows all kinds of people to own them, which means a lot of gun violence and mass shootings. Also, the culture of hate that's festering and breeding on the right pushing mentally deranged people into shooting up groups of people.
This occurred in Washington State, up near Bellingham near the Canadian border. Lots of hunters up there, fortunately these neighbors were well prepared and saved the deputies. The video doesn’t mention it, but the neighbors who rescued the deputies were honored for their actions.
The 'slug' is the round. The 'plug' is what goes between the powder and the shell to cause momentum. It would be like loading a cannon -- the powder goes first, followed by something that can 'plug' the cavity and let the later burnt powder build pressure from expansion when lit... Then the ball that is the round (or in this case, slug').
That called the wad, but I think that is what they meant. A plug usually limits the number of shells in the magazine tube, because state laws limit you to usually 3 or so for bird hunting.
Fair to both of you. I believe it's a semantics argument based on locality and how people refer to things, but I am wrong by technicality. Appreciated to both for the clarification
I don’t think a lot of people understand that an ambulance crew are sometimes either not allowed to go to an active scene like that or they can personally refuse to if it’s a threat to THEIR life. I know how that sounds but as far as the rules of EMS goes it states that if the scene is actively unsafe and the medics or EMTs get injured then we can’t help anyone else. In this situation we’d take our ambulance and “stage” a safe distance away. I’m guessing in this situation that’s why the injured officers had to get themselves to the waiting ambulance.
I’m a former Missouri EMT. OUr training and the service I worked for, forbade us from entering an area/scene if we were aware or suspicious of danger on scene, whether fallen power lines, active fire, gunshots, or a person wielding other weaponry or being assaultive. We were called to a scene that was downgraded to a psych non emergency. I drove by to see a man chasing his parents across a yard with a butcher knife. I kept driving, had dispatch notify PD and staged half mile away. We took him to the hospital in cuffs with PD following after PD cleared us to do so. You cannot treat someone if you’re incapacitated. Or dead.
@@TheBaumcm The Marines have Medics attached to their units…they are Navy sailors called Corpsmen. More commonly referred to as DOC, when in combat against Marines, the fastest way to unalive yourself is to shoot at Doc or even look like you gonna shoot at Doc.
well when youre in a situation like that freaking out wont help anything, just gotta laugh at what you can and take what comes your way. That officer has either been on the force for awhile or a military vet. When i was in the marine corps and in life threatening positions youre actually fairly calm... when you accept you have no real control over what happens in a combat situation your focus is mainly on the mission or objective that needs to get done to get your buddies and yourself through it.... fear is kinda more of a secondary thought, not much time for it in these situations.
Yep live in Texas and the good news is most Americans who own guns are law abiding and never have to use it outside of shooting practice range or hunting but guns are tools and in the hands of law abiding citizens they can save lives. Armed good guys are needed to stop armed bad guys.
Slugs are a 1oz solid projectile. That’s why he said “I doubt it was a slug that’s why I’m still here” The “plug” is actually a wadding that contains shot, birdshot/buckshot. This instance he was shot with birdshot. which is a lot of small pellets that don’t carry much velocity over distance.
Thanks for the info! The way it was described (in the video) I thought the slug was an "unspent shell" & the plug was the "spent shell" Since he said the plug flew over the fence I figured it was an empty shell.
@@BeboRulz Shotgun shell... casing with primer, inside is powder to burn, a plug to separate powder from projectile, and the projectile is either a mass of pellets (shot) or a slug (solid mass of lead). When you shoot, plug and projectile/projectiles come out. Plug isn't very aerodynamic so falls away slower and fairly visible.
@@cycleboy8028 A shot shell uses a wad to cover the powder in the shell, not a plug. A plug in a shotgun is made of wood or plastic and is in the tubular magazine. It is used to restrict to number of shells the the gun can hold. The wad is used to keep and build pressure behind the shot or slug and it also keeps shot tight producing a better pattern ( spread ).
I used to go to this range where on the rifle range when going to check your targets you could have bird shot landing on you from the shotgun range. You could feel it hit but it didn't hurt. Just keep your eye protection on.
@joshua3113 birdshot vs literally any other rnd is night and day. Birdshot will act as a deterrent but other like buck or slugs physically can remove chunks from someone. Range with a shotty is easily 50m+ lethality
Pisses me off because buckshot which is generally what they use is generally 00 buckshot which holds 8-9 shots about the same size and velocity (Depending on your ammo manufacture and individual rounds so I don't get the gun nuts angry with me) as a .45
@JosephRaoII One of the gun tubers did a pretty effective demonstration of the spread patterns and distances a while back. It wasn't a "debunk" video in intent but it did clearly show how the reality of shotgun physics differs substantially from the shotgun physics portrayed in cinema and gaming. It's kind of being used more as a prop device or a way to have a weapon that can be used to add intensity to a scenario yet still be able to justify characters not being super dead afterwards. Which means that either their on set firearm expert is full of S and didnt say hey... ummm no...or they intentionally manipulate the effectiveness as necessary for their story.
This is why we have guns in our country to protect ourselves, and protect our families, and protect ourselves from the government if needed, but also to lend a hand to law-enforcement if needed
It is important to be realistic about the concept of self-defense against the government. The thought of facing off against a well-equipped SWAT team or military force is simply unrealistic. Moreover, one must consider the rationale behind such actions. While there may be legitimate concerns about corrupt individuals within law enforcement, provoking a confrontation with them could result in dire consequences for oneself and loved ones. I support the idea of self-defense within reasonable bounds, but engaging in conflict with a government entity is a questionable course of action without "reasonable" cause and your own team, even then....you better be willing to die and most of all be in the right. What is a defend against the government situation exactly if I may ask?
@@jestapath7373 Defending against the government has become a fairly nebulous concept across time, and the many many interpretations.. Some people will point to forceful erasure of life of those deemed as corrupt, but part of the multiplicative forces that the forefathers probably didn't see, were tanks.. Airplanes, Jets, etc.. One of the lines was something about 'A well regulated militia' basically a civilian's army.. but the application of war has grown from 'bayonets, muskets, and swords' to 'Weapons of mass destruction, mass casualty, and mass bombardment' Not things I could imagine the founding fathers foreseeing.
@@jestapath7373It would be a bloody civil war if one happened, but you have to remember that police and military take an oath to uphold the constitution, and many do take that seriously. It seems unlikely that citizens will ever have to use force to stop the government, but simply the threat/possibility is enough to keep them in line. A guerrilla war is notoriously difficult to win, especially in your own country.
@@jestapath7373 "What is a defend against the government situation exactly if I may ask?" There isn't one particular scenario. However, there are many examples throughout history. We can start with the French Resistance in World War Two, where rudimentary handguns were dropped for the people to arm themselves. They were single shot pistols for the purpose of assassination of a German soldier. The French Resistance would then take the weapon and ammo from the soldier and then use that firearm for further purposes of their role in reconnaissance and sabotage. We Americans understand that while freedom is risky, the reward for maintaining a right to keep and bear arms for the people is vital in perpetually ensuring that, should a time arise to have a call to arms to either quell an invasion, resist against a tyrant, or protect oneself from those who wish to do harm is more important than safe unwilling compliance.
I was in a similar situation in 2009 but thank God civilians didn’t have to get involved. It is truly terrifying knowing could possibly die but it happens so fast you just react and not think about until the adrenaline is gone. I can say when a brother in blue is hit every agency in 3 counties are on it.
There are different types of shotgun shells, from small round pellets (birdshot) to large pellets (buckshot) to one large slug (1 inch by 3/8 inch, barrel shaped "slug")
This is why the right to bear arms by every citizen is so important because sometimes the cops even need help and we have a right and duty as American citizens to help uphold the law
Lol what? If you didn’t let the crazy guy have a gun none of this would have happened. You guys are so backwards. Do proper licences and safety checks on people with guns. This wouldn’t have been a problem.
Are you actually serious right now? I agree our system isnt the best but to sit there and say criminals will follow the law makes me despise you already. Grow up kid.
I only knew my old ones name because she was an awful person and is the reason I'm moving. Most people probably would enjoy it and not mind, and we probably should meet our neighbors to reconnect with each other as a country....but at the end of the day everyone just wants to go to work hang out with only their family and be left alone. I think that's just fine.
lmao one of our neighbors was running a trap house and there was a shooting cause 2 rival gangs showed up and started beefing, the only reason i know his name was cause of the news article and seeing our house in the background 😂😂
Really? I live in a very small town and can tell you three neighbors in each direction. But to be fair most are just about my age and the others are elderly people we all kinda of keep an eye on. Especially when it snows. We take care of their sidewalks
For every use of a firearm to commit a violent crime there are between 30 and 300, if I recall correctly, reported, defensive firearm uses. Not looking it up, so don't place any stock in it, but this makes sense. You see one bad guy and two good guys (not including the cops) using firearms in this one.

I was at my local gun shop yesterday picking up some things I had shipped there and a uniform police officer was in there laughing and joking with everyone. The gun community and cops get along very well here. Vets too, as the police often have lots of veterans in their ranks. I salute them and the fact they volunteered for one of the toughest jobs civilization has to offer.
It's videos like this that make me thankful i live in a place with no neighbors, the residents of that neighborhood definitely had to put up with that guy's behavior for too long and it's sad neighbors can really "make or break" someone else's living situation.
Took them too long to report over the radio that “civilians” were helping them. I was worried every new officer rolling up on the scene would mistake the helpers as being the suspect.
This video was edited down quite a bit. In the full video, you can actually hear the neighbor mention this potential issue. The cop put it out over the radio before that 1st backup cruiser drive by. Let them know that the neighbors were assisting with 1st aid and providing cover fire.
@@altblechasyl_cs2093 I don't necessarily disagree with you. But if a call goes out on the radio that 2 officers have been shot in the face, I would personally prefer to not be standing nearby and holding a gun. Cops get a wee bit touchy when their BFFs take a head shot. Certainly couldn't blame them if they came in hot in an effort to protect a Giga Chad colleague that went on to drive himself to an ambulance while spitting bloody shrapnel from his mouth.
Maple Falls is next to Maple Syrup, it was a sticky situation! Actually it is somewhere between Nugent's corner and the town of Glacier on the Mount Baker highway SR-542.
The slug is the lead projectile the plug or wadding is what holds the powder charge inside the shell and is also ejected from the barrel when the shotgun is fired.
Don't underestimate how far a shotgun can actually go at that distance they still have the power to a lot more damage than what happened, glad those officers are okay.
It all depends on the type of round used, according to google lethal ranges with buckshot are about 35m/38yrds, birdshot 45m/49yrds and 100m/110yrds with slugs.
People tend to forget they’re classified as a rifle. As such their range is alot farther than a pistol. Farther than even movie and games like to make their range.
Birdshot is lethal at close enough distance. You don't think at 15 yards a pellet couldn't hit a vital organ. There have been people who has been ended by pellet guns.
@Jordan23501 bird shot can be very lethal. Hit the lungs or heart, or I guess any other vital organ and you can bleed out. Not to mention if you get hit in the throat you will just be breathing blood and drown. All guns are dangerous and can be lethal. I guess the only exception is nerf guns and water guns with water in them.
I honestly worry about the publics safety over there in the UK. They are arresting private citizens for things like pronouns. Its beyond totalitarian. The British people deserve better. You deserve freedom of speech, no matter who is speaking and no matter what is being said
That’s kinda a double edged sword. With the good comes the bad. Meaning you could call someone the most vile things you could imagine and no one could do a thing😅
@@connorbland2443 ok? You should be able to call someone whatever you want without the threat of criminal prosecution. If that someone happens to whoop your ass over it, oh well, that's on you.
The Shotgun Plug limits the number of rounds in the shotgun, a requirement when hunting in many states, and can be cut to any length. A shotgun slug is a heavy projectile (a slug) made of lead, copper, or other material and fired from a shotgun. Slugs are designed for hunting large game.
5:44 The "slug" is the bit of metal inside the shotgun shell that comes flying out and does damage to the target, the "plug" (sabot) is a bit of plastic that cups around the slug inside the shotgun shell to keep it straight as it fires down the barrel, the plastic bit comes out after the slug when the shotgun is fired and just sort of flutters through the air and falls. So when this idiot was shooting shotgun slugs into the air, the plastic bits from the shotgun shells were raining down into their yard.
@@Austin.Kilgore "Immigrants" in the UK throw acid onto women disfiguring their faces. Usually it seems to be people of a certain faith who want to punish "disobedient" women
I'm glad the neighbors were there to help. But it is wild that they were hanging around, and that the officers hadn't asked them to go back into their homes.
I’m guessing that when the guy said the “plug” from the shell landed in their yard, he meant the plastic wad from it that separates the gunpowder from the lead pellets or slug
Its worrying enough that you have to have multiple police officers armed to take down one man. This is why its important for civilians to keep the right to arm themselves for defense, and for situations like this. If the entire country is defenseless and only the police are armed, you are the most vulnerable without the best means to defend or do anything to resolve a dangerous situation.
@@craig3782The ones who currently aren't legally allowed to have them right now due to prior felonies have them... like, right now. Your proposal simply highlights that existing issue- Making new laws does not stop people who *_already do not follow laws._* It only restricts the people willing to be law-abiding citizens.
In the UK, I believe the gun laws are still a lot stricter than they are in the US. You may be able to acquire a gun by certain means but what you can't get so easily is the ammunition
@@craig3782 And yet, despite having such strict gun laws, there are still over 100 reported shootings in the UK per year. Crazy how that works, despite banning guns, you still have a somewhat high gun crime rate.
When he said the plug landed in his yard, he means the wad from inside the shotgun shell. It's a divider that's placed in between the gunpowder and the projectile(s). It comes out of the barrel behind the projectile(s) but is usually made of lightweight thin plastic and doesn't fly very far or straight.
Shell= the case that holds the round, gun powder, and primer Plug = the wadding ( usually plastic) that is in between the round and the gunpowder that acts as a temporary barrier to seal the gasses in the barrel till the round makes its way down range The slug= is the round itself ( a shotgun shell can hold many types and sizes of “ shot”) the biggest being a slug which is called such because it literally is one big slug or chunk of lead, usually about the size of your thumb or slightly bigger depending on the gage of shotgun 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, and .410 the bigger the gage number the smaller the shell size the gun can hold in the chamber, 4 being the biggest, .410 being the smallest
SLUG is a solid projectile for a shotgun. They have Bird shot, double ought buck, and other assorted rounds can b fired from a shotgun. Also bean bags rounds and pepper ball rounds
@13:05 explains your question regarding the ammo. Officer was shot with BUCKSHOT . 3 main types shotgun ammo : Birdshot - several BBs for shooting fowl(imagine like 30 tiny bbs) Buckshot - (10 or 15 larger bbs), used for larger game. And Slug - one giant slug / bullet - think of a large AA battery
So the difference between a slug and a "plug" is the slug is the actual projectile, it's essentially just a big bullet, the "plug" is likely referring to the wad. A wadding is a piece of plastic used in-between the gunpowder and the projectile to push it down the barrel.
Slugs are essentially bullets for a shotgun, I believe the plug that they’re talking about is the one in every shell that pushes the slug out and separates it from the gunpowder, it’s a little plastic deal.
There are several videos showing armed citizens posting security around injured Officers and citizens providing emergency life saving first aid to struck Officers. I know you all think we gun owning Americans are nuts, but WE are far from that. We are lawful, decent people who just want to be left alone. What effeminate barista type would do you know who would stand in the line of fire to render aid to an injured Officer? How many people do you know have taken it upon themselves to LEARN and collect the required trauma aid items required to offer such aid?
5:38 To home load a shotgun sheel: Primer in base brass of sheel, then powder, then plug/wad(plastic/pressed paper), then pellets and or slug. Pellets for small game and or water fowl, turkey, dove, etc... Slug shotgun shells are primarily used on big game. You could think of a shotgun shell like loading a muzzel weapon. But doing the loading process in a shotgun shell then sticking the shell into a shot gun. NOTE: Plug/Wad keeps the pellets seperated from the powder.
The Beebies are called buckshot. It’s what’s packed into the shell and it spreads out as the bullet travels. That’s why shotguns do so much damage. These Beebies penetrate and can go completely through your body.
And blow the lung completely out of the body? There is no bullet in buck and bird shot. Just the BBs themselves. And neither is overly effective beyond 30 yards. A solid slug is a 1 ounce bullet. THATS dangerous out to about 100 yards, but not what they got hit with.
The "BB's"are different sizes. Birdshot is what it says. For birds, hence smaller. Buckshot is also what it says. It can take something the size of a deer down, so it is bigger. Birdshot could blind you, but the odds of death is greatly reduced.
the difference between a slug and a plug is a slug is a solid projectile. and i believe a plug is inside the shotgun shell if you have buck/bird shot and it helps keep the pellets together till they exit the barrel. also buck shot has less pellets then bird shot but buck shot has bigger pellets and buck shot is more powerful
@@collectgemsosrs6298 I kinda agree. Yes it seems stupid to the average person...but think of those people that are F'd up should never carry anything that could be considered a deadly weapon. And I know you'll bang on about something about your constitution. Let me just say I am far from Anti-gun...I think they are an amazing feat of ingenuity, and should NEVER be lost. My issue is with you feeling guns are a right, not a privilege. I'm honoured that we have the choice if we want to pick up a gun...You think it is a birth-right....and you guys have the audacity to call yourself "English" even when you mean Cymraeg, Scottish and N.Irish...Or even worse...Part of the ROI, yet you don't even know the difference between the UK and Great Britain. I know the difference between the U.S, Canada and Mexico; as does 95% of the world. Why are you guys so un-educated? This doesn't count for you all. I just feel like you guys are indoctrinated by your propogandist media
6:00 he’s referring to the wad which is what separates the powder from the pellets in the shell. The wad shoots out with the pellets keeping them together until the wad and pellets leave the barrel which then they separate from each other after some distance. If he fires into the air the wad would travel so far until it no longer contains the pellets and fall to the ground. The wad being a plastic bowl in a way.
lol I live in the city with neighbors very close by and I don't know any of their names. Not only that I don't know what they look like either. We pretty much keep to ourselves.
5:59 in the bottom of a shell is plug so there is a good seal between ammunition and the shell so it's propelled correctly, ammunition could be birdshot (very small pallets), buckshot(slightly larger then a BB from airsoft) and slug (one solid object).
A slug is a type of shell you can hunt deer with and I think I'm not certain a plug is mandated by government to limit the amount of shells it can carry, if they're referring to something else im ill informed
The neighbors should have been recognized for the help they gave to these officers. They should have received honors. The police were blessed to have these men there to help them!
The fact that BOTH cops stick their faces directly in the line of fire STILL boggles my mind. THEN, while both of them were going to get medical none of the other cops helped make sure they had cover or were safe. The protocols in this video are crazy to me. Both cops acted like the whole situation was not serious even though he had a gun. So crazy! **I've seen this video a bunch and I'm VERY glad they are both ok & back to work. Just hope some tactical stuff changed in regards to safety AND the city got another ambulance 💜**
Ah yes, because hiding and letting him move around his neighborhood freely while firing his shotgun is a great idea. Would just give you a reason to complain that they should have acted sooner. The reality is you've never been shot at and acting like you know or would do better than them is laughable. Go back to your video games little boy.
A slug is a like firing a regular bullet. a plug is what keeps the shot away from the powder and if anyone is wondering what kind of ammunition he is using it is some form of birdshot so very small pellets and power compared to something like buckshot.
I don't either. Made that mistake in my past with an intrusive, nosey, and overly friendly neighbor. If he had asked, I probably would have helped with something, but otherwise I wouldn't but in.
12:19 the bbs are referring to the load used in the shotgun. Some loads like bird shot are small tiny bbs and they will kill you close range, or really mess your day up if your far enough away like this cop.
Yes it was terrible. I’ve not seen this edited version. The unedited version goes into a little more detail-the guy was drunk and really had no idea what he’d done and the standoff was hours long.
A-holes would call the big guy "chair force" and find insults for the other neighbors, but they would be hiding under their tables in an incident like this.
5:55 Like Aiden said, the shell is what holds all of the pellets, bbs, or the slug (and well I guess and the plug as well lol). The slug is the big piece of lead/metal that is actually being shot, (aka the projectile that's being shot at the target). Also, when they say plug, I'm assuming they mean the Wad/wadding inside of the shotgun shell, which is used at the front of the shell to hold like the bbs or the slug in place and all. And when the trigger is pulled the Wad (a piece of like plastic sort of cone shaped materia, Ig plastic, which I always thought it was like more it a fabric of some sort other than plastic cause of how it looks when being fired out and all, it looks more like fabric than plastic imo. But yeah, it's just what it used at the front of the shell, again, it's just there to hold everything being shot out in the front of the shell and all, Ig to ensure that everything is together before being shot out of the shell. But yeah, Ik that's a lil bit longer than I anticipated it being and maybe I'm not the best at explaining stuff myself, but I hope from what lil bit of knowledge I have when it comes to shotguns and all. I'm more knowledgeable about pistols and all more tbh, tho I do love the old shotgun I had (it was called like an over under shotgun, where u pressed a button and the front of thr barrel lowered ad pointed down to load the shell in thr very end of the barrel closest to/the stock. Which sadly my mom give it to a neighbor at the time who was a family friend at the time, who ended up fucking me out of the gun, which really made me extremely mad and I'll never forgive him cause it was the 4/10 shotgun my grandmother give me a couple years before she passed away and was one of the only things I had left of her (other than a 22 revolver that got stolen by the person I lived with in middle school before we moved back to the original city we were from). It just makes me so sad that the couple of things that were the only things I had left from my grandmother were taken from me, and one by someone we trusted , and he was only ever asked to hold onto the gun for me and my mom cause I was going thru a lot at the time and was severely depressed and she asked him to hold onto it, and he ended up giving it to his son and no telling what happened after that, but I'll never forgive him and know that I'm older I wanna see and beat tf out of him not matter how old he is for stealing and taking away the only physical thing I had left of my grandma, it makes me so sad every time I think of it wnf me not having that 4/10 anymore. But just my luck Ig, I wouldn't have any luck if not for bad luck. But it takes a real pos to give away a gun you know is someone's only item they have left from their deceased grandmother, and you give it away anyways tbh, like a true pos move. Sorry, Ik the last paragraph or two have nothing to do with the video, but once I brought up my old shotgun, it brought back all of those great and then horrible memories I tried to forget due to not having what was given to me by my grandma to remember her by, it just makes me so fkn mad man frfr, and the bad part is, he knew what it was and what it meant to me tbh.
Most cops are genuinely good people who just want to help and keep people safe. The only reason you see so much about corrupt cops is because they are so rare by comparison. The good cops get next to no recognition in most cases since they are just "doing their job", but because corrupt cops are doing the opposite they suddenly get all of the attention.
Theres several elements to your questions about shotguns. When they said "plug" they're refering to a piece of plastic that's in front of the propellant and behind the "bullet" or shot. It just pushes the shot out evenly. So when he's shooting into the air it's shooting "bb's" or shot and the plastic piece just falls down onto the ground without risk to anyone and fell into the neighbors yard. The rounds typically used can be slugs, buckshot, or birdshot. This man was shooting birdshot. Birdshot is shot thats between the size of gravel and bb's used primarily for of course birds. Buckshot is the typical lethal shell used that consists of roughly 1cm ball bearing like balls. The slug is a 1oz or .02kg led "bullet".
A slug is a type of round for a shotgun. Its a large, solid projectile that is quite powerful and destructive. Has the potential to go through houses, people.. etc until it hits something solid or rigid.
A slug is a large bullet fired from a shotgun used for deer hunting, the "plug" is actually called the "wad" it is a cup shaped plastic piece that sits between the gunpowder in the shell, and the "shot" or slug in the shotgun shell to properly propel the shot down the barrel.
The slug is the actual projectile. Plug goes in the shell, the shell is the casing… most rounds when fully intact prior to firing are referred to as a cartridge. There is also the plug that goes in the shotgun but it doesn’t see like that’s what they are referring to.
5:34 I believe he meant wad when he said plug. The wad is the plastic cup that holds the shot until it exists the barrel. A plug is a wood or plastic dowel in the shotgun magazine that restricts the capacity to 2 for legally hunting waterfowl. We remove the plug when hunting upland game birds like pheasant, or self defense, where even the most anti gun states allow 10 round magazines, which are longer than most shotgun barrels.
The plug is a part of a shotgun shell that also gets discharged when the shell is fired. A slug, on the other hand, is a shot round style of projectile that acts similar to a standard bullet, as opposed to shot which disperses over an area like a cone, which is where shotguns get their name.
From slugs, buckshot, and birdshot there is a plastic plug that separates the powder from the projectile(s). This plug will part ways with the projectile after leaving the barrel; it can travel several score yards, or hit the target if the target is close, though it is light weight.
Slug is the projectile plug is what holds the slug ontop of the gun powder inside the shell mostly used for bird shot (small beebees) and buck shot (ball bearing size pellets)
The first two officer should have requested a backup immediately once they spoke to the neighbors and realize how dangerous the man is. The also should have requested the SWAT team.
6:00 a slug is a single large ball shot, typically used for larger game or longer range, as opposed to shot, which is several smaller balls Im not sure what plug is, but sometimes plug is used yo mean you shot something "hey bill, you think you can plug that target at 300 yards?"
A shot gun slug is the projectile that leaves the muzzle, it’s a large piece of solid lead, the plug/wad is a cup made of plastic that contains the slug and assists in creating a gas seal in the barrel to propel the slug, once in the air the wad/plug breaks away from the projectile and drops to the ground
For the brits, a shot shell is similar to any cartridge in that it has multiple components. There's a primer, which ignites the powder and causes the explosion. There's a shell, which houses everything in a handy package, and there's a projectile which flies out the barrel at the target when the round is fired. They refer to the 'plug' in this video, but everyone I've known has called this the 'wad' in a shotgun shell. It's a piece of plastic that acts as a barrier between the shotgun projectile (be it birdshot pellets, buckshot pellets, or a solid slug) and helps guide the projectiile out the barrel. Once the shot is fired, the wad separates from the projectile after it has done its job in pushing the load out of the barrel in a more uniform pattern than it would otherwise have. Unless they meant a drug dealer landed in their backyard, which is the more common use for the term plug here.
A shotgun fires several different rounds. You have a slug, an ounce of solid lead, .00 buck, 9 .45 caliber bb’s, birdshot, which has a lot of little bb’s and several others. They got hit with the birdshot it looks like because the first two would have killed them.
For those wondering... This is Washington State that has zero stand your ground laws or castle laws. But this was neither. This was a civilian putting himself in danger to defend 2 downed public officials..
A shotgun is versatile as it can use different types of ammunition, depending on the barrel and choke. They can shoot pellets of varying sizes, or slugs, which are a single solid projectile, much like a large bullet. The “plug” he was referring to is actually called a wad. It’s a (typically plastic) cup which the pellets are inside of, which falls away a distance after being fired, and the pellets continuing on their path without it.
For the Brits, American here. A .12 Gauge Slug is a solid lead projectile (usually 1 ounce) contained within the shell, many other .12 Gauge rounds have Bird shot or Buck shot, a series of small lead balls for bird or rodent hunting. While the plug is a plastic piece contained in all shells which separates the gun powder from the lead projectiles.
The slug is the projectile that goes out of, it’s kinda like a rifle round and not something like buckshot that has a spread. The plug is inside the shell and it pushes the shot out, it goes between the shot/round and the propellant
"Hey, get back!" "No, I'll stand my post. I'll keep watch while you guys get the attention you need." It shows that 'serving' is both in and out of the military.
@OfficeBlokeDaz A plug is a blockage device in the tube of the shotgun (under the barrel) and a slug is a solid projectile fired like any other shotgun round.
A shell is the case of the bullet. The plug is what is between the slug (projectile) and the powder. Its a plastic ring. Shotgun shells have primer, powder, plug, projectile. Look it up if you want but thats what a plug of a shotty shell is
The slug is the projectile that comes out of the end of the barrel and is a solid piece of metal as opposed to many ball bearings. A plug is meant to limit ammo capacity. When he said plug, he most likely meant wad, which separates the projectile from the gun powder.

A fact you just can't back up and just pulled out of your a--. Every shooter is a law abiding citizen until they're not. The nerve to say this with the amount of gun violence in this country. Allowing you to have a gun, whether or not you are law abiding, allows all kinds of people to own them, which means a lot of gun violence and mass shootings.

The 'slug' is the round. The 'plug' is what goes between the powder and the shell to cause momentum.
It would be like loading a cannon -- the powder goes first, followed by something that can 'plug' the cavity and let the later burnt powder build pressure from expansion when lit... Then the ball that is the round (or in this case, slug').
That called the wad, but I think that is what they meant. A plug usually limits the number of shells in the magazine tube, because state laws limit you to usually 3 or so for bird hunting.
Given that the "plug" flew into the neighbors yard, they must have meant the wad?
Fair to both of you.
I believe it's a semantics argument based on locality and how people refer to things, but I am wrong by technicality. Appreciated to both for the clarification

I don’t think a lot of people understand that an ambulance crew are sometimes either not allowed to go to an active scene like that or they can personally refuse to if it’s a threat to THEIR life. I know how that sounds but as far as the rules of EMS goes it states that if the scene is actively unsafe and the medics or EMTs get injured then we can’t help anyone else. In this situation we’d take our ambulance and “stage” a safe distance away. I’m guessing in this situation that’s why the injured officers had to get themselves to the waiting ambulance.
I’m a former Missouri EMT. OUr training and the service I worked for, forbade us from entering an area/scene if we were aware or suspicious of danger on scene, whether fallen power lines, active fire, gunshots, or a person wielding other weaponry or being assaultive.
We were called to a scene that was downgraded to a psych non emergency. I drove by to see a man chasing his parents across a yard with a butcher knife. I kept driving, had dispatch notify PD and staged half mile away. We took him to the hospital in cuffs with PD following after PD cleared us to do so. You cannot treat someone if you’re incapacitated. Or dead.

Yep live in Texas and the good news is most Americans who own guns are law abiding and never have to use it outside of shooting practice range or hunting but guns are tools and in the hands of law abiding citizens they can save lives. Armed good guys are needed to stop armed bad guys.
Slugs are a 1oz solid projectile. That’s why he said “I doubt it was a slug that’s why I’m still here” The “plug” is actually a wadding that contains shot, birdshot/buckshot. This instance he was shot with birdshot. which is a lot of small pellets that don’t carry much velocity over distance.
the officer said buckshot but it may have been the adrenaline though
oh yeah he clarified birdshot later my bad
Kind of a dick move to shoot someone with birdshot😂 absolute pain to treat

@@BeboRulz Shotgun shell... casing with primer, inside is powder to burn, a plug to separate powder from projectile, and the projectile is either a mass of pellets (shot) or a slug (solid mass of lead).

@@cycleboy8028 A shot shell uses a wad to cover the powder in the shell, not a plug. A plug in a shotgun is made of wood or plastic and is in the tubular magazine. It is used to restrict to number of shells the the gun can hold. The wad is used to keep and build pressure behind the shot or slug and it also keeps shot tight producing a better pattern ( spread ).

Video games have done serious information damage to the lethal range of shotguns
I used to go to this range where on the rifle range when going to check your targets you could have bird shot landing on you from the shotgun range. You could feel it hit but it didn't hurt. Just keep your eye protection on.
@joshua3113 birdshot vs literally any other rnd is night and day. Birdshot will act as a deterrent but other like buck or slugs physically can remove chunks from someone. Range with a shotty is easily 50m+ lethality
And then there is that mobile game where you can snipe people with a goddamn shotgun.
Pisses me off because buckshot which is generally what they use is generally 00 buckshot which holds 8-9 shots about the same size and velocity (Depending on your ammo manufacture and individual rounds so I don't get the gun nuts angry with me) as a .45
@JosephRaoII One of the gun tubers did a pretty effective demonstration of the spread patterns and distances a while back. It wasn't a "debunk" video in intent but it did clearly show how the reality of shotgun physics differs substantially from the shotgun physics portrayed in cinema and gaming. It's kind of being used more as a prop device or a way to have a weapon that can be used to add intensity to a scenario yet still be able to justify characters not being super dead afterwards. Which means that either their on set firearm expert is full of S and didnt say hey... ummm no...or they intentionally manipulate the effectiveness as necessary for their story.
This is why we have guns in our country to protect ourselves, and protect our families, and protect ourselves from the government if needed, but also to lend a hand to law-enforcement if needed
It is important to be realistic about the concept of self-defense against the government. The thought of facing off against a well-equipped SWAT team or military force is simply unrealistic. Moreover, one must consider the rationale behind such actions. While there may be legitimate concerns about corrupt individuals within law enforcement, provoking a confrontation with them could result in dire consequences for oneself and loved ones. I support the idea of self-defense within reasonable bounds, but engaging in conflict with a government entity is a questionable course of action without "reasonable" cause and your own team, even then....you better be willing to die and most of all be in the right.
What is a defend against the government situation exactly if I may ask?
@@jestapath7373 Defending against the government has become a fairly nebulous concept across time, and the many many interpretations.. Some people will point to forceful erasure of life of those deemed as corrupt, but part of the multiplicative forces that the forefathers probably didn't see, were tanks.. Airplanes, Jets, etc.. One of the lines was something about 'A well regulated militia' basically a civilian's army.. but the application of war has grown from 'bayonets, muskets, and swords' to 'Weapons of mass destruction, mass casualty, and mass bombardment' Not things I could imagine the founding fathers foreseeing.
@@jestapath7373It would be a bloody civil war if one happened, but you have to remember that police and military take an oath to uphold the constitution, and many do take that seriously. It seems unlikely that citizens will ever have to use force to stop the government, but simply the threat/possibility is enough to keep them in line. A guerrilla war is notoriously difficult to win, especially in your own country.
@@jestapath7373 "What is a defend against the government situation exactly if I may ask?"
There isn't one particular scenario. However, there are many examples throughout history.
We can start with the French Resistance in World War Two, where rudimentary handguns were dropped for the people to arm themselves. They were single shot pistols for the purpose of assassination of a German soldier. The French Resistance would then take the weapon and ammo from the soldier and then use that firearm for further purposes of their role in reconnaissance and sabotage.
We Americans understand that while freedom is risky, the reward for maintaining a right to keep and bear arms for the people is vital in perpetually ensuring that, should a time arise to have a call to arms to either quell an invasion, resist against a tyrant, or protect oneself from those who wish to do harm is more important than safe unwilling compliance.

There are different types of shotgun shells, from small round pellets (birdshot) to large pellets (buckshot) to one large slug (1 inch by 3/8 inch, barrel shaped "slug")

The slug is the lead projectile the plug or wadding is what holds the powder charge inside the shell and is also ejected from the barrel when the shotgun is fired.
Don't underestimate how far a shotgun can actually go at that distance they still have the power to a lot more damage than what happened, glad those officers are okay.
It all depends on the type of round used, according to google lethal ranges with buckshot are about 35m/38yrds, birdshot 45m/49yrds and 100m/110yrds with slugs.
People tend to forget they’re classified as a rifle. As such their range is alot farther than a pistol. Farther than even movie and games like to make their range.

Birdshot is lethal at close enough distance. You don't think at 15 yards a pellet couldn't hit a vital organ. There have been people who has been ended by pellet guns.

The plug is a plastic barrier inside the shotgun cartridge. It separates the pounder and the shot or the slug.
The Shotgun Plug limits the number of rounds in the shotgun, a requirement when hunting in many states, and can be cut to any length. A shotgun slug is a heavy projectile (a slug) made of lead, copper, or other material and fired from a shotgun. Slugs are designed for hunting large game.

@@pointlessmanateethe odd griffin every now and then

5:44 The "slug" is the bit of metal inside the shotgun shell that comes flying out and does damage to the target, the "plug" (sabot) is a bit of plastic that cups around the slug inside the shotgun shell to keep it straight as it fires down the barrel, the plastic bit comes out after the slug when the shotgun is fired and just sort of flutters through the air and falls. So when this idiot was shooting shotgun slugs into the air, the plastic bits from the shotgun shells were raining down into their yard.

Making new laws does not stop people who *_already do not follow laws._*

In the UK, I believe the gun laws are still a lot stricter than they are in the US. You may be able to acquire a gun by certain means but what you can't get so easily is the ammunition
@@craig3782 And yet, despite having such strict gun laws, there are still over 100 reported shootings in the UK per year. Crazy how that works, despite banning guns, you still have a somewhat high gun crime rate.
When he said the plug landed in his yard, he means the wad from inside the shotgun shell. It's a divider that's placed in between the gunpowder and the projectile(s). It comes out of the barrel behind the projectile(s) but is usually made of lightweight thin plastic and doesn't fly very far or straight.
The only bad part of this story is the crazy scumbag was still breathing at the end of it…
Shell= the case that holds the round, gun powder, and primer
Plug = the wadding ( usually plastic) that is in between the round and the gunpowder that acts as a temporary barrier to seal the gasses in the barrel till the round makes its way down range
The slug= is the round itself ( a shotgun shell can hold many types and sizes of “ shot”) the biggest being a slug which is called such because it literally is one big slug or chunk of lead, usually about the size of your thumb or slightly bigger depending on the gage of shotgun 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, and .410 the bigger the gage number the smaller the shell size the gun can hold in the chamber, 4 being the biggest, .410 being the smallest
SLUG is a solid projectile for a shotgun. They have Bird shot, double ought buck, and other assorted rounds can b fired from a shotgun. Also bean bags rounds and pepper ball rounds
@13:05 explains your question regarding the ammo. Officer was shot with BUCKSHOT . 3 main types shotgun ammo : Birdshot - several BBs for shooting fowl(imagine like 30 tiny bbs) Buckshot - (10 or 15 larger bbs), used for larger game. And Slug - one giant slug / bullet - think of a large AA battery
So the difference between a slug and a "plug" is the slug is the actual projectile, it's essentially just a big bullet, the "plug" is likely referring to the wad. A wadding is a piece of plastic used in-between the gunpowder and the projectile to push it down the barrel.
Thanks for this. I've never seen any of this footage except the cut of the civilian stepping in to return fire.
The slug is the projectile and the plug is the wadding that is packed with the powder in the shell.
Slugs are essentially bullets for a shotgun, I believe the plug that they’re talking about is the one in every shell that pushes the slug out and separates it from the gunpowder, it’s a little plastic deal.
There are several videos showing armed citizens posting security around injured Officers and citizens providing emergency life saving first aid to struck Officers.
I know you all think we gun owning Americans are nuts, but WE are far from that. We are lawful, decent people who just want to be left alone.

5:38 To home load a shotgun sheel: Primer in base brass of sheel, then powder, then plug/wad(plastic/pressed paper), then pellets and or slug. Pellets for small game and or water fowl, turkey, dove, etc... Slug shotgun shells are primarily used on big game. You could think of a shotgun shell like loading a muzzel weapon. But doing the loading process in a shotgun shell then sticking the shell into a shot gun. NOTE: Plug/Wad keeps the pellets seperated from the powder.
2:23 aidan's been playing too much fortnite 😂 shotguns can shoot pretty far
Plug is the plastic backing in the shell between the primer/powder and the projectile. Its a basket for the shot basically
The Beebies are called buckshot. It’s what’s packed into the shell and it spreads out as the bullet travels. That’s why shotguns do so much damage. These Beebies penetrate and can go completely through your body.
And blow the lung completely out of the body?
There is no bullet in buck and bird shot. Just the BBs themselves. And neither is overly effective beyond 30 yards. A solid slug is a 1 ounce bullet. THATS dangerous out to about 100 yards, but not what they got hit with.
The cop was shot with bird shot, not buck shot
The "BB's"are different sizes. Birdshot is what it says. For birds, hence smaller. Buckshot is also what it says. It can take something the size of a deer down, so it is bigger.
Birdshot could blind you, but the odds of death is greatly reduced.
the difference between a slug and a plug is a slug is a solid projectile. and i believe a plug is inside the shotgun shell if you have buck/bird shot and it helps keep the pellets together till they exit the barrel. also buck shot has less pellets then bird shot but buck shot has bigger pellets and buck shot is more powerful

I'm honoured that we have the choice if we want to pick up a gun...You think it is a birth-right....and you guys have the audacity to call yourself "English" even when you mean Cymraeg, Scottish and N.Irish...Or even worse...Part of the ROI, yet you don't even know the difference between the UK and Great Britain. I know the difference between the U.S, Canada and Mexico; as does 95% of the world. Why are you guys so un-educated? This doesn't count for you all. I just feel like you guys are indoctrinated by your propogandist media
Ate you out of your f#$king mind ? The answer for a fire is water NOT GAS !! # great Britain dosent have the degree of violent sss holes we have !!
6:00 he’s referring to the wad which is what separates the powder from the pellets in the shell. The wad shoots out with the pellets keeping them together until the wad and pellets leave the barrel which then they separate from each other after some distance. If he fires into the air the wad would travel so far until it no longer contains the pellets and fall to the ground. The wad being a plastic bowl in a way.
lol I live in the city with neighbors very close by and I don't know any of their names. Not only that I don't know what they look like either. We pretty much keep to ourselves.
5:59 in the bottom of a shell is plug so there is a good seal between ammunition and the shell so it's propelled correctly, ammunition could be birdshot (very small pallets), buckshot(slightly larger then a BB from airsoft) and slug (one solid object).
A slug is a type of shell you can hunt deer with and I think I'm not certain a plug is mandated by government to limit the amount of shells it can carry, if they're referring to something else im ill informed
I think he meant to say wad
The neighbors should have been recognized for the help they gave to these officers. They should have received honors. The police were blessed to have these men there to help them!
They did they received honers frome the city and the local police
The fact that BOTH cops stick their faces directly in the line of fire STILL boggles my mind.
THEN, while both of them were going to get medical none of the other cops helped make sure they had cover or were safe.
The protocols in this video are crazy to me. Both cops acted like the whole situation was not serious even though he had a gun.
So crazy!
**I've seen this video a bunch and I'm VERY glad they are both ok & back to work. Just hope some tactical stuff changed in regards to safety AND the city got another ambulance 💜**
Ah yes, because hiding and letting him move around his neighborhood freely while firing his shotgun is a great idea. Would just give you a reason to complain that they should have acted sooner. The reality is you've never been shot at and acting like you know or would do better than them is laughable. Go back to your video games little boy.
Exactly what I thought. Sad they got hurt, but they got commendations for improper procedure and being lackadaisical.
A slug is a like firing a regular bullet. a plug is what keeps the shot away from the powder and if anyone is wondering what kind of ammunition he is using it is some form of birdshot so very small pellets and power compared to something like buckshot.
I can't comprehend why any other country would think they should mess with the USA.
The plug is the thing that pushes whatever shot round out the gun
Yeah I don’t know any of my neighbors names… don’t talk to them. And quite frankly, don’t care to talk to them 😂
I don't either. Made that mistake in my past with an intrusive, nosey, and overly friendly neighbor. If he had asked, I probably would have helped with something, but otherwise I wouldn't but in.
12:19 the bbs are referring to the load used in the shotgun. Some loads like bird shot are small tiny bbs and they will kill you close range, or really mess your day up if your far enough away like this cop.
I saw the uncensored version of this video my god it was terrible
Where can it be seen?
Yes it was terrible. I’ve not seen this edited version. The unedited version goes into a little more detail-the guy was drunk and really had no idea what he’d done and the standoff was hours long.
uncensored video is on youtube channel called POLICE ACTIVITY CHANNEL
A-holes would call the big guy "chair force" and find insults for the other neighbors, but they would be hiding under their tables in an incident like this.
Washington State, which borders Canada and it's most famous city is Seattle.
5:55 Like Aiden said, the shell is what holds all of the pellets, bbs, or the slug (and well I guess and the plug as well lol).
The slug is the big piece of lead/metal that is actually being shot, (aka the projectile that's being shot at the target).
Also, when they say plug, I'm assuming they mean the Wad/wadding inside of the shotgun shell, which is used at the front of the shell to hold like the bbs or the slug in place and all. And when the trigger is pulled the Wad (a piece of like plastic sort of cone shaped materia, Ig plastic, which I always thought it was like more it a fabric of some sort other than plastic cause of how it looks when being fired out and all, it looks more like fabric than plastic imo.
But yeah, it's just what it used at the front of the shell, again, it's just there to hold everything being shot out in the front of the shell and all, Ig to ensure that everything is together before being shot out of the shell.
But yeah, Ik that's a lil bit longer than I anticipated it being and maybe I'm not the best at explaining stuff myself, but I hope from what lil bit of knowledge I have when it comes to shotguns and all.
I'm more knowledgeable about pistols and all more tbh, tho I do love the old shotgun I had (it was called like an over under shotgun, where u pressed a button and the front of thr barrel lowered ad pointed down to load the shell in thr very end of the barrel closest to/the stock.
Which sadly my mom give it to a neighbor at the time who was a family friend at the time, who ended up fucking me out of the gun, which really made me extremely mad and I'll never forgive him cause it was the 4/10 shotgun my grandmother give me a couple years before she passed away and was one of the only things I had left of her (other than a 22 revolver that got stolen by the person I lived with in middle school before we moved back to the original city we were from).
It just makes me so sad that the couple of things that were the only things I had left from my grandmother were taken from me, and one by someone we trusted , and he was only ever asked to hold onto the gun for me and my mom cause I was going thru a lot at the time and was severely depressed and she asked him to hold onto it, and he ended up giving it to his son and no telling what happened after that, but I'll never forgive him and know that I'm older I wanna see and beat tf out of him not matter how old he is for stealing and taking away the only physical thing I had left of my grandma, it makes me so sad every time I think of it wnf me not having that 4/10 anymore.
But just my luck Ig, I wouldn't have any luck if not for bad luck. But it takes a real pos to give away a gun you know is someone's only item they have left from their deceased grandmother, and you give it away anyways tbh, like a true pos move.
Sorry, Ik the last paragraph or two have nothing to do with the video, but once I brought up my old shotgun, it brought back all of those great and then horrible memories I tried to forget due to not having what was given to me by my grandma to remember her by, it just makes me so fkn mad man frfr, and the bad part is, he knew what it was and what it meant to me tbh.
I usually rag on the cops but these suckers are some real dudes.
Most cops are genuinely good people who just want to help and keep people safe. The only reason you see so much about corrupt cops is because they are so rare by comparison. The good cops get next to no recognition in most cases since they are just "doing their job", but because corrupt cops are doing the opposite they suddenly get all of the attention.
Theres several elements to your questions about shotguns. When they said "plug" they're refering to a piece of plastic that's in front of the propellant and behind the "bullet" or shot. It just pushes the shot out evenly. So when he's shooting into the air it's shooting "bb's" or shot and the plastic piece just falls down onto the ground without risk to anyone and fell into the neighbors yard. The rounds typically used can be slugs, buckshot, or birdshot. This man was shooting birdshot. Birdshot is shot thats between the size of gravel and bb's used primarily for of course birds. Buckshot is the typical lethal shell used that consists of roughly 1cm ball bearing like balls. The slug is a 1oz or .02kg led "bullet".
When every single Anerican can possibility be armed, cops have to go into every situation like a potential live shooter.
Are you slow?
A slug is a type of round for a shotgun. Its a large, solid projectile that is quite powerful and destructive. Has the potential to go through houses, people.. etc until it hits something solid or rigid.
A slug is a large bullet fired from a shotgun used for deer hunting, the "plug" is actually called the "wad" it is a cup shaped plastic piece that sits between the gunpowder in the shell, and the "shot" or slug in the shotgun shell to properly propel the shot down the barrel.
The plug flys out after the slug (bullet) the plug is the divider between the gunpowder and slug in the shell
The slug is the actual projectile. Plug goes in the shell, the shell is the casing… most rounds when fully intact prior to firing are referred to as a cartridge. There is also the plug that goes in the shotgun but it doesn’t see like that’s what they are referring to.
5:34 I believe he meant wad when he said plug. The wad is the plastic cup that holds the shot until it exists the barrel.
A plug is a wood or plastic dowel in the shotgun magazine that restricts the capacity to 2 for legally hunting waterfowl. We remove the plug when hunting upland game birds like pheasant, or self defense, where even the most anti gun states allow 10 round magazines, which are longer than most shotgun barrels.
As an American, I like the way Brit’s describe things “you see the cop car drive by to join the party… if you want” 😂😂 yeah I want to 😅
The plug is a part of a shotgun shell that also gets discharged when the shell is fired. A slug, on the other hand, is a shot round style of projectile that acts similar to a standard bullet, as opposed to shot which disperses over an area like a cone, which is where shotguns get their name.
From slugs, buckshot, and birdshot there is a plastic plug that separates the powder from the projectile(s). This plug will part ways with the projectile after leaving the barrel; it can travel several score yards, or hit the target if the target is close, though it is light weight.
Slug is the projectile plug is what holds the slug ontop of the gun powder inside the shell mostly used for bird shot (small beebees) and buck shot (ball bearing size pellets)
The first two officer should have requested a backup immediately once they spoke to the neighbors and realize how dangerous the man is.
The also should have requested the SWAT team.
Dudes been waiting for this moment their whole damn lives😂
6:00 a slug is a single large ball shot, typically used for larger game or longer range, as opposed to shot, which is several smaller balls
Im not sure what plug is, but sometimes plug is used yo mean you shot something "hey bill, you think you can plug that target at 300 yards?"
A shot gun slug is the projectile that leaves the muzzle, it’s a large piece of solid lead, the plug/wad is a cup made of plastic that contains the slug and assists in creating a gas seal in the barrel to propel the slug, once in the air the wad/plug breaks away from the projectile and drops to the ground
For the brits, a shot shell is similar to any cartridge in that it has multiple components. There's a primer, which ignites the powder and causes the explosion. There's a shell, which houses everything in a handy package, and there's a projectile which flies out the barrel at the target when the round is fired. They refer to the 'plug' in this video, but everyone I've known has called this the 'wad' in a shotgun shell. It's a piece of plastic that acts as a barrier between the shotgun projectile (be it birdshot pellets, buckshot pellets, or a solid slug) and helps guide the projectiile out the barrel. Once the shot is fired, the wad separates from the projectile after it has done its job in pushing the load out of the barrel in a more uniform pattern than it would otherwise have.
Unless they meant a drug dealer landed in their backyard, which is the more common use for the term plug here.
A shotgun fires several different rounds. You have a slug, an ounce of solid lead, .00 buck, 9 .45 caliber bb’s, birdshot, which has a lot of little bb’s and several others. They got hit with the birdshot it looks like because the first two would have killed them.
For those wondering... This is Washington State that has zero stand your ground laws or castle laws. But this was neither. This was a civilian putting himself in danger to defend 2 downed public officials..
The officer with the rifle is a good example on why it’s good to train to switch shoulders. It really minimizes how much you expose yourself.
A shotgun is versatile as it can use different types of ammunition, depending on the barrel and choke. They can shoot pellets of varying sizes, or slugs, which are a single solid projectile, much like a large bullet. The “plug” he was referring to is actually called a wad. It’s a (typically plastic) cup which the pellets are inside of, which falls away a distance after being fired, and the pellets continuing on their path without it.
For the Brits, American here.
A .12 Gauge Slug is a solid lead projectile (usually 1 ounce) contained within the shell, many other .12 Gauge rounds have Bird shot or Buck shot, a series of small lead balls for bird or rodent hunting.
While the plug is a plastic piece contained in all shells which separates the gun powder from the lead projectiles.
The slug is the projectile that goes out of, it’s kinda like a rifle round and not something like buckshot that has a spread. The plug is inside the shell and it pushes the shot out, it goes between the shot/round and the propellant
"Hey, get back!" "No, I'll stand my post. I'll keep watch while you guys get the attention you need." It shows that 'serving' is both in and out of the military.
@OfficeBlokeDaz A plug is a blockage device in the tube of the shotgun (under the barrel) and a slug is a solid projectile fired like any other shotgun round.
A shell is the case of the bullet. The plug is what is between the slug (projectile) and the powder. Its a plastic ring. Shotgun shells have primer, powder, plug, projectile. Look it up if you want but thats what a plug of a shotty shell is
The slug is the projectile that comes out of the end of the barrel and is a solid piece of metal as opposed to many ball bearings. A plug is meant to limit ammo capacity. When he said plug, he most likely meant wad, which separates the projectile from the gun powder.
