Why do shotguns kaboom on occasion?
From barrel obstructions to major neglect it can happen.
Check out this video where shotguns are tested to the extreme in the name of safety.
Think a little mud in your shotgun barrel is ok? How about a 20 gauge shotshell dropped into a 12 gauge barrel by mistake? All of these actions can have seriously horrific outcomes.
YouTuber Fieldsports Channel decided to set up the ultimate test on what a shotgun can actually handle. The results are both interesting and heartbreaking.
Remember to never allow any barrel obstructions to remain in a barrel. Bring a cleaning rod with you at the range and afield. Always pay attention to safety because one screw up is all it takes!
