Here’s The Best Shotgun Slug You’ve Probably Never Heard Of…The Gatekeeper

The point of using a slug in a shotgun is to not only stop whatever you are aiming at, but also to cause the maximum amount of traumatic damage as possible. Now, ’00 Buckshot’ can do the job, but if you really, really wanted to destroy your target, then maybe you should try the ‘Gatekeeper’. This little beast has an all copper hollow point, 8 petal design and it really can do some very serious damage. But, don’t take my word for it, watch the video below and see for yourself!
