The Shortest Shotgun To EVER Shotgun (How Short Is Too Short ???)

A channel that bills itself around the biggest guns has spent its new-upload week thinking small, at least in length. "The Shortest Shotgun To EVER Shotgun (How Short Is Too Short ???)" supplied Kentucky Ballistics' main attraction, reaching about 2.6 million views since Tuesday.

The title makes the superlative claim; the audience has supplied a different frame of reference. Several viewers compare the shotgun to video-game weapons and their exaggerated spread, with one invoking the Scout's Force-A-Nature from Team Fortress 2. The description places the demonstration on a private range under professional supervision.

"45-70 Snub Nose Revolver" completed the two-upload week, extending the compact-firearm theme. Its opening was much smaller than the shotgun's, and the shotgun remains the channel's busiest individual upload by daily views.

There is a softer-looking experiment elsewhere in the catalog: "Can The World's Biggest Marshmallows Stop A Bullet? (400 Pounds Of Marshmallow !!!)" is the next most active video. The bullet-catching device featured earlier also continues drawing viewers, though at a gentler pace than either of those tests.

The channel added subscribers over the week and sits just short of six million. Daily viewing across the channel is currently well below its usual pace, a contrast with the lively shotgun release. Nearby, hickok45 and Garand Thumb are both having above-usual viewing days. For Kentucky Ballistics, the distinctive new pairing is two firearms whose compact dimensions are the whole talking point.
