Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 0:29Scott introduces the Rock Island Armory Pak-Out folding shotguns that supply the title's origami comparison.
  2. 3:41The larger stocked version suffers multiple jams during a timed deployment test.
  3. 5:00A truck-retrieval scenario tests the folding design in Scott's enormous lifted vehicle.
  4. 9:05Scott says the shotguns have been fun, but acknowledges repeated hang-ups.
  5. 9:12Meta glasses provide a first-person view of both shotguns being tested against food targets.

A shotgun that fits in a backpack sounds convenient. Getting it unfolded and working reliably proves rather less straightforward in Kentucky Ballistics' "Is This A Shotgun or Origami ??? (The Folding 12 Gauge Shotgun)".

Scott tests Rock Island Armory's Pak-Out folding shotguns, including a larger version with a stock. The compact design is the attraction; repeated jams are the problem. By the time he has tried retrieving them from his enormous lifted truck, the interruptions have become a running gag, punctuated by an inserted television clip of Jon Glaser shouting, "You just got Jammed!"

This is still a Kentucky Ballistics review, so a straightforward demonstration soon gives way to an outdoor toilet, sour-cream splatter and an attack on the gardening. Scott also uses Meta glasses to give a first-person view of target shooting at a table of food. The description says filming takes place on a private range under professional supervision, and the video includes a Sonoran Desert Institute sponsor segment.

Beneath the comedy, the conclusion is fairly plain. "I had a lot of fun with these shotguns today, but we have had some hang-ups," Scott says. His experience shows a distinction between a gun that packs away neatly and one that performs consistently during these tests.

Viewers keep returning to the malfunctions, making toast-and-jam jokes and discussing the increasingly frequent television insert. Others single out Scott's patience: the folding mechanism supplies the premise, but persevering through the stoppages supplies much of the episode.

  • Scott can be proud of his patience. If I were in his place, I would have given up filming before reaching the middle.
