I assume that is Garand Thumb.  I can't see the video where I am now.  Saw it on my phone, but I need re-watch on a bigger screen.

I found it annoying that he didn't try the buckshot from a distance sufficient enough for it to spread out (in my experience, 25m).

Meh.

I find him annoying, in general.

Yes, I am a curmudgeon. Why do you ask?

"Gauge is spelled alphabetically," Terry said, curmudgeonlike. 

"As in 'A, E, I, O, U.' "

A comes before U in that vowel order we all know from grade school.

Hence, g A U g e, not g U A g e.

Note "GAGE" is acceptable as an alternate correct spelling,.

I wonder why they were using 1000 grain slugs instead of about 2000.  A 4-bore round ball should weigh about 1750 grains.

GT was making fun of the fact that that's how it's spelled on the shotguns barrel, at least the specimen they obtained.
