i personally hate gas operated shotguns because of its extremely annoying cleaning process and bad weight balance. That's the reason i sold one. Now I'm a Stoeger m3k owner and i stand for inertia driven shotguns for IPSC. Nice video! Greetings from Russia!

Excellent presentation, I have a couple auto-5’s Silver Hunter ( which is about the worst shotgun I have owned), a Bennelli auto ie (all 12Ga’s and I have always found the Browning Auto Lt 5 has less recoil than my gas shotguns !ie( just the opposite of your conclusion). My thinking is the inertia recoil brake on the tube accounts for some of the recoil taken out ie ( with the recoil brake brass action-ring ). If the rings are set properly for the right load. 🤔😃 It has been my experience the gas guns have a faster and consistently harsher kick than the inertial guns ie (Auto-5 Lt 12Ga) 🥴

I own a beretta a350 with the blink has system and a Benelli M2 with THE inertia system. I do not shoot any competitions with either of them but I do waterfowl hunt and shoot sporting clays and can honestly say that the blink has system can go 100’s if not into the 1000’s of round without cleaning and no cycling issue and I’m a ride it hard put away wet kind of guy with me gear. The M2 same thing. Biggest difference between the 2 is felt recoil. Gas gun shoots softer inertia fires every round under the sun but has a little more pop in the stock. The beretta needs 1200fps or more to cycle perfectly which is fine by me. Great video! Cheers from Canada eh 🍻🇨🇦🤘

I have a Benelli M1 super 90 (Inertia system), and I found it had issues only with some types of ammo (Low powered trap/skeet shells), but strangely only when I really held it hard against my shoulder. It acted better even with bad ammo when it had some slack, and then when it bumped on my shoulder it actually caused it to cycle correctly. I guess it's not possible to generalize, and every rifle is unique (Even the same brand/model acts differently depending on lots of factors).

Limp shoulder =limp wrist

My Stoeger M3500 will cycle rounds my Browning Maxus won't. Both will shoot light loads through heavy. However, the Maxus messes up more with the 3 1/2 inch shells. Very disappointing when you get one shot and have to clear the jam. The Stoeger doesn't do that. Use a stock weight on the Stoeger, and cycling issues go to the wayside.

I have a gas gun: mossberg 930 but the range I go to only allows 28g loads so far I have found it not be to picky but it does have loading issues, do you have any advice to sort this please?

What if the spring tension on the bolt spring of an inertia operated shotgun was lowered, so that it could cycle properly less powerful rounds and/or shoot it looselly held to the shoulder allowing the entire mass of the gun to move backwards (hence not providing the bolt enough strength to travel the distance it is supposed inside the gun in order to extract the spent case and/or feed a new one into the chamber). Is there a risk for some of the burning gunpowder from the exploding cartridge to escape through the ejection port and land on top of my face, clothes,flammable paperwork, or clean floor; If so how damaging could it be for the shotgun. Thank you I appreciate any clarity you could shine on that matter and great video by the way.

@mchenryjeremy

Then you'd start running into feeding issues where shells hang up going into the chamber. These manufacturers have the spring tension set to the optimal tension so that they can reliabily cycle as many different loads as possible.

Who needs to clean more the pomp action or the inertia?

So aside from cleaning, would a gas gun be better than an inertia gun for smaller stature guys…? or does it really just come to form and practise..?

I personally prefer gas guns. I hunt waterfowl in a cold climate and want my gun to cycle reliably if I wear thick clothing. I also like having faster follow up shots. Yes they might have more trouble cycling the light target loads but it's not hard or expensive to find shells with heavier loads.

Have u ever tried a tristar viper g2?

I think that explanation was incorrect, the term inertia means to stay at rest which in an inertia gun, the bolt body try’s to stay at rest due to its mass, the gun needs to move rearwards from the recoil which pushes back the rotating bolt face, as the bolt face moves rearwards towards the bolt body which is trying to stay at rest due to its inertia, it compresses a spring inside the bolt body, the geometry of the bolt face causes it to rotate and unlock itself from the breach as it moves rearwards, once it’s unlocked from the breach and the spring is compressed, the energy in the spring is released and pushes the bolt rearwards, this is the secondary recoil Callum mentioned, moving rearwards it re-cocks the trigger, the spring under the fore grip then pushes the bolt back to the battery position. A bit long winded, but as far as I can see, the inertia shotgun needs to recoil freely to work.

@tiortedrootsky

Жыл бұрын

I didnt understand why on 3:28 the gun fails when it can move farther. The answer is because to cycle properly the carrier has to have enough speed relative to the gun, and if the gun is free to move back, it catches up to the carrier. So the gun has to be able to recoil back for 4mm (0.16 inches) to compress the carrier spring. Then the spring will push the carrier back to press the cam track in the carrier against the cam lug on the bolt to unlock it, then extraction happens. After the gun traveled this 4mm it has to stop, so the carrier has enough speed relative to the gun. Theres good animation, search for "benelli inertia shotgun".

For dynamic gun games like a TAC-Ops match where each stage can be up to 25 shells, a typical home defense pump action shotgun (low capacity and not choke capable) is like bringing a single shot 22 to a long range rifle match. It's not that the 22 is a terrible weapon, it's that it no suited for this particular application.
