A shotgun still needs to be aimed, and a wide spread does not fill every gap with pellets. The video looks at what changes a shot pattern, why felt recoil can be misleading, and how 12 gauge and 20 gauge loads differ. It also checks claims about pump actions, barrel length, birdshot, rock salt, walls, and warning shots against the points explained in each section.
