Method question regarding the maverick 88

[Sad Again]

not all knowledgeable about firearms and saw this was recommended however for less then 300 i feel like it's too good to be true is it reliable? also aren't slugs more powerful then buckshot? thanks

Reliability? You are only going to get one shell off. How reliable does it need to be. Yeah, they're pretty cheap. Like $240 cheap. I've seen a couple other brands sub $200, but names escape me right now. For impact force, slugs probably do have more. But, buckshot spreads and causes more damage. Truthfully, either would *probably* work, but I'd still go with buckshot myself. I have a Moss 590 and it will blow a hole the size of a large watermelon in a piece of plywood with buckshot.

Maverick 88 is owned by mossberg. It is basically the same as the mossberg 500. Main differences are where the safety is and some parts are made in Mexico. They are assembled in Texas as is the 500. It is a reliable gun at a good price.

it's not too long 18.5 inch barrel . easy for ctb. barrel is easy to put in mouth only a very small sight on the barrel

right above the uvula? i've heard stories about people surviving headshots, but i think it's because it was a spur of the moment and temple styled like often seen in hollywood

I've never heard of a person surviving an intraoral shot with a slug in a 12 gauge shotgun. 00 or 000 buckshot will work as well. Do a bit of research on the physiology of the head and brain and where to aim becomes obvious. Avoid any shells that say birdshot, they lack the weight to assure penetration into the brain.
