Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the Federal Premium Force X2 Shorty unique for self-defense?

A: The Federal Premium Force X2 Shorty is unique for self-defense due to its innovative segmenting buckshot. Each of the 6 copper-plated 00 FX2 buckshot pellets is designed to split into two equal-size pieces on impact, creating up to 12 wound channels. This improves energy transfer to the target and minimizes over-penetration, reducing risk to bystanders.

Q: What is the advantage of the 1.75-inch shell length?

A: The 1.75-inch shell length of the Force X2 Shorty allows for higher magazine capacity in firearms designed to cycle sub-length shotshells, such as the Mossberg 590S. This means users can have more rounds available without increasing the overall length of their shotgun, which can be advantageous in home defense situations.

A: The Federal Premium Force X2 Shorty 12 Gauge ammunition has a muzzle velocity of 1245 feet per second (fps). This velocity provides effective stopping power while maintaining manageable recoil for faster follow-up shots.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 12 gauge shotguns, it's important to note that not all 12 gauge shotguns can reliably cycle 1.75-inch shells.
