Anjin-san Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I've had the M4 for a few months and 90% of the ammo I've run through it has been 7 1/2 shot game loads. The first few boxes right out of the box were all game loads. It has malfunctioned exactly zero times. I had heard and read that the new M4 needs to be broken in on high brass before it can reliably run light loads--not in my experience. I'm extremely satisfied with the M4. I'm also very happy to add a shotgun to the safe because its the only thing I can afford to shoot now. Game loads are still available everywhere online. I guess most people don't consider birdshot for defense so its not being scalped. It would not be my first choice either but I know at close range it produces damage that is probably not even survivable -- I've seen tests of birdshot where it blows a fist size hole through 1/2" plywood at 5 yards. With the coyote full choke on, my range will let me shoot shotguns. As long as I can get cheap birdshot I'll still be shooting the M4!

NineInchNails Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I sure wouldn't want to get hit with ANYTHING that exits the barrel of any 12 gauge, especially a semi auto like the M4. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
