Insane Russian 4 GUAGE Shotgun, the KS-23 (way bigger than a 12 guage)

all right first full kit run of the day let's do it [Music] remember that girl from high school well this is her now right here we have the Russian ks-23 a four gauge shotgun just the most insanely sized shotgun because Russians just what what's the word for it Micah this is a giant shotgun so today on Grantham forget it well for for gouache four guards shotgun and we're gonna see how it performs it should be noted that the shells um obviously we can't get the Russian shell so we have to uh we had to get these hand loaded by a good friend who uh built this gun out and uh this is sketchy good Lord today on Grantham the ks-23 but before we get into that we of course have to think the biggest sponsor of the channel the biggest sponsor of the channel is who Micah that is the Sonoran Desert uh I'm not as clever as Charlie Institute the Sonoran Desert Inn suit if you're looking to get your start they are the people to go to we cannot thank them enough the Sonoran Desert and soon who else can we not forget Micah primary arms apparently they manufacture all their Optics on that mountain primary arms a big thank you to them go and just love them just I love primary arms okay so homies good night and unlike this shotgun AAC ammo is also a sponsor which is made in America uh of course they didn't make this ammo but they do sponsor ammo and a big thank you to them uh without further Ado ladies and gentlemen my often forgotten but most certainly not by me foreign welcome to the channel let's go well uh we we have a slug right here do you want to introduce yourself sure yeah I mean you could just just talk just into the into the mic hey hi I made the shotgun sort of um it's a piece of [ __ ] here you go so I want you guys to take a look at this this is a three inch four bore uh shell now of course the Russian shells are going to be a little bit different a combination of metal or plastic depending on how they're manufactured there are many different types of rounds which we'll talk about but I kind of wanted to open it up with just what does it look like to fire we have a solid with a thousand grain slug a thousand grade slug we have a thousand grain slug uh and uh going a thousand uh feet per second which uh somebody's gonna calculate that's a lot of foot pounds I I don't know what the recoil is gonna be like this is actually gonna be the very first shot I take with this guy and actually gonna step back and just zoom in because I don't even I don't even want to know all right here we go [ __ ] ouch I've shot a lot of guns that was really surprised that was really spicy did you hear that that slug that's got some that's spicy charcoal get it right should it be busted yeah I think darkov got it right dude that's ridiculous well the only thing we can do is compare that to just a 12 gauge to show you the recoil comparison sure Michael will make fun of me right now but in comparison we just have our little 12 gauge spicy boy and uh this will probably be a lot easier to handle 12 gauge is so easy to deal with like the actual recoil comparison between the two so now that we've satisfied our Zoomer audience with immediate shooting so they can feel good talk a little bit about this where we do some more ballistic tests and we do have a ballistic dummy which we'll be shooting it's gonna be a little bit crazy um this is basically a giant Winchester 1300 shotgun it is almost the same just scaled up so what's funny about the shotgun is what happened the Russians had a 23 millimeter anti-aircraft barrel and they kept getting a lot of problems in manufacturing where some barrels weren't ready and they they weren't satisfactorily made to make they're blems they made a bunch of blend barrels so they thought to themselves why not make that into a shotgun and uh so was born the ks23 now so in talking with traskar who uh originally converted this from a Tas 123 bfg1 over to a ks23 he showed me why it's a blend and if you look down you can see that it is not at all consent trick with the material of the barrel itself you can see why you would not want to so thin towards the bottom you would not want to send like a high pressure 23 millimeter anti-aircraft round through that now however low pressure shotgun rounds absolutely no problem because of the fact that they were made for an anti-aircraft uh weapon there these are of course rifled barrels and uh they are just everything about this shotgun right here screams Russia to me kind of haphazardly made kind of with like rejected Parts a stupid size gauge of shotgun and you have the ks23 used for a lot of riots um a lot of the rounds were specifically made to uh to either fill an area or fill like the prison yard size area with either pellets or gas with the tear gas rounds it's a very interesting weapon and in many ways it kind of fills the role of a lot of the less lethal grenade launchers that are used Stateside so it's a pretty interesting design but that's a lot of talking let's do some more shooting and I think we could certainly test this on uh maybe some clear ballistic skeleton or something like that okay so we're going to be using a couple different types of shells right here so I'll let you guys take a look at that so we have the slug right here which is of course a thousand grains what's even more psychotic is that we have a buck shot number four so right here we have The Buckshot that is actually 12 pellets typical for a 12 gauge is around um not eight to nine depending we have number four which is just a ridiculous amount of pellets I actually don't know how many pellets of number four just as many as we could pause look it's at the very Brim so I'm not really sure precisely how many uh what the FPS is going to be on it at all or if you can't bench 225 your opinion doesn't mean [ __ ] oh so what just happened so Mike didn't tell me that we did this but he just kind of filled me in and apparently there was like a really high kill uh not shelter I killed Jim and uh we had the fencing so we got some free-range bodybuilders um and I guess I guess we we have those now so um we good we got the sock on here make it a little easier uh first round is gonna be slug uh 1 000 grains one thousand feet per second and uh I just don't know what's gonna happen I'll be hot oh Austin Rogers Fitness God damn rage bodybuilders God damn Jesus foreign it it just went straight through most shotgun rounds do not do that that smokes look at that spine it's almost it's like a clean through and through it was just so powerful Let's do let's do a buck through it and then I want to do a slug on the head after let's do it uh double up Buck um a lot of it foreign well so it should be noted here this is where some of the problems will be run into the fact that we're using a hand loading ammunition not Factory ammunition from Russia because that one wasn't too Stout uh of a push so that one could have definitely been loaded hotter that being said you're still uh dead as [ __ ] next up we have number four um this is a pretty common uh defensive loading but just usually not four gauge that was super underloaded I got a slug I'm gonna try to canoe it and uh see how it goes oh no oh that uh that there's actually not a there's not a head in there anymore it's just it's just an empty cavity as a little treat we have loaded uh we heard you like shotgun shells so we put a shotgun shell in your shotgun shell we have a 12 gauge uh we should have used super glue to you know kind of get a little bit tighter but you know is there a chance like we could shoot it and it shoots it shoots like all right I have no idea is that rubber band that's rubber band in there oh no that's him where did the shell go did it go off no that's the back of the shell it the primer didn't detonate that's cool it's so shootable so where did it uh you can see the oh it had to have detonated no maybe the gunpowder detonated let's watch the high speed yeah there it is look at that the slug that uh separated the slug who lived come to die laughs uh we have a another thousand grain slug it sounds like a 40 millimeter dude that that slug has so much energy behind it a thousand grain plug I want to see what happens foreign it just went straight through we gotta watch that all right we have the uh girl from high school you didn't care about uh 12 gauge which I do want to point out at this time feels like a toy in comparison and 12 gauge is really [ __ ] deadly so uh we'll see how it goes ready get one more foreign come look at this I don't know what I have to do but I don't know if I have the strength to do it you could see with this guy as it begins to like lose velocity so it came out but it disintegrated it just it had asked behind it but not not like no slug on steel because [Music] foreign we have one of the ranged bodybuilders shooting the uh shooting the uh the four gauge because garage because why not all right Tom uh it's right here on the other side good luck buddy yeah pull that into your shoulder four gouache no actually I've only ever shot a 12 gauge boom Oh I really don't almost don't want to do it oh God oh my God oh God oh God Jesus Christ wow so we shot a lot of rounds on this uh a lot my shoulder feels great actually it wasn't terrible it is yeah it's definitely in the hand with the with the grip angle it's definitely not great so now that we've shot a bunch let's talk through it let's kind of show you guys something on it I just want to come in here Micah and take a look so I look at that four gauge bore it is just ridiculous again this does kind of fill the role of a lot of less lethal there's a lot of different rounds when it comes to them um very famously it does have a flash kind of concussion round that's used quite a bit and it's quite quite there we go it has multiples tear gas smoke rounds you of course have your you have armor piercing rounds that are also used so you have a whole lot of stuff famously in tarkov the overpowered flashbang rounds I wish we had them of course not really possible to import those from Russia because uh you know there's things going on in the world now depending on the length of the shell you're between three and four uh on ours we're getting three uh Plus One in the Chamber so you have a total four rounds um that being said with four gouache you you can't that being said with four gauge um you know you shouldn't need too many rounds to put down a thread and be more in a kind of Police role it kind of fills it a little bit differently now moving back from the tube the tube is in the white white as it comes from the Factory you do have the hand guard right here this is a reproduction handguard there's a we also have an original one but we don't want to mess it up here this is pretty freaking close what you get from the factory it is fairly comfortable to grip we do have dual action bars so you can see on the other side there again this is very Winchester 1300 ish and dual action bars kind of ended up being the standard in shotguns after the Winchester 1897 after we got like the Ithaca 37 and many other shotguns so it's quite easy to open this one is dirtying up again we're using kind of slightly out of spec shells because we can't get the actual ones from Russia unfortunately maybe at some point we'll go to Russia Micah and maybe probably not if you come back you can see the absolute size of the ejection Port right there like it is just ridiculous it's just so large so it's comparison because it kind of gets a little you get a little jaded kind of just looking at it but like that is a 12 gauge shell like it does make 12 gauge look like a toy it's absolutely ridiculous it literally is now on this one we have a this guy is a little feeling a little little pain from some of the high pressure rounds we were firing right here we had the loading gate so obviously we can put in the rounds that we need um it's just like a Winchester uh 1300 right they just seat right in very easy to use no issues there now from there we have the controls we have the safety right here simple cross bolt safety very reliable been used for a long period of time and then we have the release for the handguard to unlock the action itself so we don't want to put too many rounds on this again this is a pretty rare weapon so we're not gonna do any trigger pulls with it the trigger pull is pretty pretty Winchester 1300 if you have about a six pound military pole feels good to me Micah I didn't pay attention you're just worried about the recoil um going back from there of course we do have our pistol grip right here it should be noted that you see these in a variety of configurations because you can install the normal sock that comes with like the toss123 in this case we do have the wire stock this is again A reproduction the actual wire sock does fit a little bit differently and we do have a grenade launching butt pad from an AK-74 because uh we're just not strong like Russians I guess is that the best way to say it Micah yeah we don't drink enough vodka if we drink more vodka be better um overall I I do find myself liking the shotgun quite a bit I definitely see the utility to having just a ridiculously oversized shotgun in terms of pacifying polar bears real talk I don't think that there's any chance that you're going to strike somebody with a round from the ks23 um being a non-lethal round uh being a lethal round and that they're ever going to get up it's a horrifically overpowered uh lethal shotgun it's pretty cool in my mind I think it's very versatile especially given the different types of rounds and overall it's what we call A vibe bliet well guys thank you for joining us this is probably one of the more I would say rare shotguns that we've ever taken a look at and we really enjoyed it that being said as cool as this shotgun is if you don't get training it's not going to matter so get out there get training soon onward research very soon of course Pat McNamara Haley strategic my dad uh cogworks bear Solutions tons of great guys get training that's what matters thank you for watching tons more great things coming that advice from our ranged bodybuilders all right Tom what's your what's your dad advice lift
