Cobray Terminator at the Range: The Worst Shotgun Ever
/ forgottenweapons
Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.bbtv.com/collections/forg...
Most of the guns made by Cobray are pretty awful, but one can at least understand the market they were made for. The Terminator is different, because it really is rather incomprehensible who would have actually thought that a single shot, open bolt 12 gauge shotgun with a terrible stock would be a good thing to spend money on. Really the only explanation I can come up with is that it looks industrial and mean, and I suppose some people would have bought it just for that.
Having taken one to the range now, my suspicions of its terribleness have been fully confirmed. It actually is painful to shoot, and the open bolt slamfire mechanism does a greta job of magnifying the inevitable flinch it will give you. It's clunky and annoying to reload, and also to unload after firing. I never did figure out why it was failing to fire so much for me, unless it was simply a short firing pin with deep-set primers. To be honest, I don't really care. I'm just happy to be able to send it back to the generous (if perhaps sadistic) viewer who loaned it to me.

Remember, switching to your Zip 22 is always faster than reloading
And then it jams
I honestly don't know what is worse, the Zip or the Cobray Terminator :/
That's not necessarily a true statement... Well, provided that you intend to continue firing.
‘Remember, switching to your Zip 22 is always faster than clearing the jam’
@@Basedmursenary lol it was clearly a joke, and a nod to the zip 22
Be sure to carry a USFA Zip 22 as backup in case this thing doesn't work.
*in case it does work
And a hi point 🤣🤣🤣
Ben Watkinson hi points are ugly and uncomfortable, but they’re reasonably reliable, especially for the price. With the terminator shot gun and .22 zip gun you’d be lucky to get them to fire even once.
Tom O - Hahaha! “Just wait a second sorry I brought a backup....’click’ FUCK SAKE MAN!”
or a liberator pistol
They say the loudest sound in the world is hearing a click when you expected a bang... Using this gun must be absolutely deafening.
why would you ever expect a bang out of this? if someone flagged me with one of these loaded i probably wouldn’t even be scared
@@bananamustard1151 if someone flagged me with this, I'd be more scared for them than me.
I think the sound of an unloaded gun going off is much louder lol
cobray terminator should be called "click gun"
No one likes the sound of door closing.
One of my favorite parts is the vented grip/barrel shroud, because god knows that baby’s going to get hot when you’re putting all those 2 rounds per minute down range
I suppose the grip being stationary make sense where the barrel moves, must not the way most smartly designed actions have the barrel move.
"What is your last wish before standing in front of the firing squad?" "Could you please outfit them with Terminator shotguns?"
And under-barrel zip 22 :D
A firing squad armed with Cobray Terminators? I'll roll the dice on those odds any old day of the week.
Embarrass the firing squad
Has to be one of the most clever comments I've seen
Wouldn’t be ironic if they all worked perfectly?
This gun looks like a Chinese knockoff off a Vietnamese knockoff.
Chinese norinco Ak is legit, more like Afghan village knock off a ISIS home made shotgun.
@@luvpewthings8528 I think Afghan/Pashtun villagers can actually improve an ISIS homemade shotgun if Khyber Pass is an indication.

This comment is absolute money.
Actually more like an Afghani knockoff, of a Chinese knockoff, of a Viet Cong knockoff, of a North Korean design
Wow. I thought it wasn't firing at all. The sound of the "slam" is louder than the shell going off.
Sounds more like a weird side effect of automatic gain control or something else artificially limiting the recorded level.
I thought the entire video was misfires. Only when he said he wasn’t impressed, did I start questioning it. Like “wait. It didn’t fire and you’re just not impressed??”

@@JohnnyQuickdeath Yeah, I'm thinking that gun did not go off. At any time.
Remember those crappy "survival" knives from the 1980s? The ones with a compass in the pommel and all the durability of a defective spork? This is the gun version of that.
oh so THAT'S why my brother's "cool knife" i found in the garage broke 30 seconds after i found it. must've already been busted but was held together by gunk, crust, and sheer midwestern willpower
That sums things up nicely.
My dad’s old side-by-side feels like it would be better then that thing, even if you pull both triggers together.
This is the only logical explanation.
I had the same knife here in germany too in the 80s. I was about 8yrs old when I got it, but it was perfectly safe for me and my enviroment, because it was unuseable as a weapon and as a tool. Just nice to watch and feel like John Rambo ^^
You could play Russian Roulette with this thing
and the one time it would work
It would fall over and then you'd trip over it to your death.

And it kicks like an SOB even when the shell doesn't go off.

It fired a few times, you can tell when there was smoke and recoil. The microphone peaked and didn't pickup the sound of the gunshot properly though.
When in doubt, call it misfire.
@@77gravity you know it fired when ian says something lol, also I think the last 4 shots in the video fired

"This Shot Is Not Meant For You."
@@floo1465I guess he hates PotC 😂
This gun is hilarious. It's almost like it's designed to have as much recoil as possible. The stock has no give whatsoever, it's a shotgun, so it kicks fairly heavy to begin with, and on top of all that the whole mass of the mechanism, which is most of the gun, is already moving backwards, so you have to absorb that momentum too. Wow.
on top of that when it fails to fire it puts a tiny dimple in the shell so you have to put your fingers right next to the hot shotgun shell to move the barrel chamber forward & unload the bloody thing
The fact that misfires have recoil really says something
@@adamwilson7811 This reminds me of the Boy Scout camp where I first learned to shoot. Because Boy Scout safety rules they load each round for you. The guy loading the rounds kept a spent shell with the front cut off so it is the same size as a loaded round in his pocket, so if you had a bad habit of flinching and yanking the shot he would load the dummy and you would jerk backwards despite the gun not going off. It looks a lot like this, only here the shooter is not the problem, it's the gun.
The mechanism moving backwards should pull the rest of the gun forwards though?
@@HALLish-jl5mo The Newton's third law pairing prior to the round actually firing is between the shooter's front hand and the front half of the gun, not the front and back parts of the gun. That chain of force actually makes the shooter move forward slightly, which would marginally increase the felt recoil if anything.
This is accurately named the ‘Terminator’ given how many Terminator movies there have been where the cybernetic robot from the future, programmed to kill a particular person, fails utterly at killing its target.
SSky06 isn’t cybernetic robot a bit of a redundancy?
There were some termies in the comics that did, but aside from T3's John Connor by the T-850 in the future, no hostile film T has ever accomplished its objective With the very possible exception of Dark Fate, but Imma not spoil a movie people like/hate so let's put it there
Well they couldn't even kill Sara Connor before she became a real badass or John Connor when he was still a juvenille delinquent,hehe.

Markus Mahlberg yeah that’s the better purpose of this “gun” (actually a club)
Gun is heavy...heavy is good...heavy is reliable...if it doesn't work, you can hit him with it.
After the fifth time the gun fails to fire, the thief would feel bad and give you your television back and leave. By the time it does fire, you are so jaded you aren't on aim that time, and do more damage to your own shoulder.
the home invader would take himself to jail just to tell the cops and everyone else you tried to stop him with this piece of trash.
"We'll be back with a much better gun" Next episode:"Awesome Nerf Guns!"
I'm waiting for the April Fools episode where he talks about the Nerf Maverick. I mean to be fair, the Maverick has more sound and intelligent engineering than this thing.
I can't think of a Nerf gun with worse design than the terminator. Even the least well designed have good reason to have form precede function, they're toys. Besides, I'm not counting on them in an actual gun fight.
If Ian made a separate channel examining Nerf guns I'd sub it in a heartbeat.

you know, even if this thing actually fired reliably, I can't thing of a single area that this isn't outclassed by a simple single barrel break open.
A sawed off, single shot break open shotgun would be just as compact and problems have less recoil anyways.
unlike a break open it makes you think. it makes you think: "Why not a single barrel break open instead"
I want to see the blooper reel for this one. I can just Imagine Ian when he walked off camera. That can't have been a pleasant string of words.
It doesn’t even look like he’s shooting. It just looks like the gun is malfunctioning, and he is taking a beating from the slam fire BS.

That is literally what I thought as someone, who has never held a gun. How come it's so silent?
@@MrCmon113 Microphones are really poor at picking up gunshots properly. It's peaking whenever the gun fires so the mic (depending on microphone) will dampen it significantly. It might also just be edited down after recording.

This versus a $99 single shot break open, this loses on all counts.
I have 100% spent more time watching and enjoying Ian with garbage at the range than actually exhibiting exceptional guns. The way he stays professional in the way he talks about it even when you know that juuust under the surface he wants to smash it on a rock is an art form that cannot be taught.
"I guess I can't put this off any longer, so..." The most glowing recommendation ever from a guy who loves reviewing and shooting guns.
The one time where bringing a knife to a gunfight will actually ensure victory
Who the hell thought this was a good idea?! A single shot (???) shotgun made in the 80s constructed to look like more of an older SMG with a flimsy folding stock and an unnecessarily uncomfortable loading system. Ian has shown a lot of guns that were not that great but that one is just horrible.
I think the only thing it would be good for is a movie prop.
I can only see one potential use case for it. It's so dirt simple, it should be possible to mass produce and sell new for 30 bucks. If it was also somewhat reliable, I could see some people buying it and a couple boxes of ammo just to throw in the trunk or pack in a go bag for survival situations. Of course, this thing cost more and isn't reliable so yeah it's useless. I'm just talking about the concept.
Plus from what I understand it's pretty heavy for a single shot shotgun.
Ian speculated that this was an attempt by Cobray to show the government was targeting their products unfairly. So they made a mean looking but ineffective piece of junk. Thus if even a single shot slam fire got targeted it would prove they were right.
John O ́neil I see this gun and its remembers me from Sten SMG :P
The fact that he's seen and reviewed so many crudely made shotguns and this one is "professionally" made and still worse really says something
Never seen so much recoil from a gun that doesn't fire.
The sooner that thing is a forgotten weapon the better.

This think makes the Chauchat look like a masterpiece.

@@FunkSwayed yeh the spring is awful.
Question. Can something be truly considered a "firearm" if it doesn't fire?

Windarm
The ATF thinks so. To them, just the receiver of a gun is a "firearm."
This was the funniest and also the most unpleasant episode of forgotten weapons I've ever witnessed. Thanks Ian
I gotta say, the mic you used is EXCEPTIONAL at filtering out the gunshots. almost thought it didn't fire at all if it weren't for the smoke and recoil.
What was the logic behind a tacticool looking single shot shotgun? "14-year-old's Lamborghini poster on the wall" is SO accurate.
The only thing more illogical is a tacticool looking muzzle loader google prairie river arms PRA 50, a bullpup muzzle loader actually sold in the 90's, but at least it worked

@@Sensorium19 The one I have shoots great, not too thrilled with with the idea of of the breech area of the barrel next to my neck though.
I can't even imagine. It's absolutely baffling. Even a teenager knows that a shotgun with one barrel and no magazine is stupid. I can only think it was deliberately intended as a Saturday night special in shotgun form: as in you'll shoot somebody once and then drop it and run.
Tactial fucking what? This looks tactical to you? Since when tactical means "looks like pipe with pistol grip"?
I think in this case, I will bring a knife to a gun fight

I like how it has recoil despite not successfully firing.
Goes to fire on a home invader... *Fails to fire* "Damnit. Hang on a second, this always happens..."
If you're using a terminator for home defense, you're not actually supposed to shoot it. You're meant to use it as a beating stick to chase off the invaders and then while they're fleeing, you try to shoot them to see if you get lucky or not. Usually not.

Not sure if there were mic problems but I have a hard time telling when it fired or when it didn't. I mean, in other videos, I can easily hear the sound of the gun going off but not here (even the USFA Zip 22 was audible). The last bit where smoke was coming out of the barrel was one of the few times I can definitely tell it fired. Not saying Ian should be trying this again though. Wouldn't wish it on anyone to be honest.
This gun is like, some kind of elaborate anti gun prank. The finest ammunition ruiner you can buy.
The guy who lent it to you said nothing about wanting it back right?
Boom! That was a better shot than the gun.
So it cleverly adds the impact of the barrel to the recoil from the cartridge - genius. For the shooter who thinks he should suffer as much as the target...
Wow that is an incredible suppressor. You can't even hear the gun going off!
This is like one of those dreams where you find a gun during a firefight, but it never works, or is a really slow burn of gunpowder.
Been there. My unconscious mind would happily render an AKM in perfect detail, but it's a crapshoot whether it would fire or affect the target if it did fire. Eventually, I somehow managed to train my unconscious mind how guns work, and now they generally function as expected. This would probably seem weird to someone who isn't hardcore into guns, but I don't have nightmares anymore now that I can just shoot the monsters.
You too!? I shot an Iver Johnson safety pistol once as a "so this is how this works" and ever since then I'll randomly have dreams that I'm trying to use my carry gun in a defensive situation and the trigger just stacks and stacks and stacks and wont break.
Okay god the slow fire. No kidding. Pressing the trigger and it not going off for a few seconds. Wonky shit
I can never rack my slide
I always end up fighting something that can't be hurt by bullets, like a T-1000.
With a terminator like this, I don't fear skynet anymore.
It can't be bargained with, can't be reasoned with and it absolutely will not fire, until you are dead.
What a fitting name. The terminator indeed terminates your shoulder
I saw this in my feed, and I was relatively sure that I’d seen it already, but I couldn’t remember anything about it. I thought maybe I had just stopped it halfway through for some reason, and forgot to ever finish it. I realize now that I DID watch it when it came out. Since nothing happened, there was nothing to remember. I can only imagine how frustrating that was lol

Firing this gun is equivalent of girls asking: is it in?
You can still buy these from any hardware store for about $20. Some assembly required.
A fucking pipe gun would fire more reliably than this.
Those are markably more reliable
I mean this may as well be a pipe gun, only an entire company poured lots of money into its creation instead of some chucklehead with knowledge of basic ballistics and a love for the Fallout series going to Home Depot with a n o t e b o o k
You can literally make a more reliable multi-shot version of this for $33 and a trip to Lowe's and harbor freight. (Always get your hose clamps and bungee cords at the hazard fraught, more skookum for less moolah)
$20? Yeah still not worth it.
Cobray's entire design philosophy was "imagine the look on the perp's face when you pull THIS out!".
"Those perps will bust so many ribs laughing, you no longer NEED a firearm!"
"That's right! This thing's so god damned ugly that upon looking at it, your adversary will turn to stone!"

.... from all my sesion whit tabletop role play I can tell you that my track record whit melee stuff working in melee is not great maybe slightly better then Ians Fire record whit that thing but still.
A shotgun manufactured by the guy in a basement with parts from Home Depot. In all seriousness, this could be improved with a larger spring constant, reduce the friction on the sidewalls by the bolt and barrel, add a longitudinal locking mechanism at the stock and add some decent furniture.
Thanks for the belly laughs I needed today. I'm curious, with a sheet metal but plate why didn't you use a shoulder pad of some sort &/or put a rubber recoil pad on the but plate?
Looks like something Royal Nonesuch would make for the sake of making one except it would probably work better if he made it
Tequila Cured Salmon Carpaccio With Vodka Foam I like how you so eloquently called the gun a piece of junk! Lol. And yes, Royal Nonesuch would make something much better.
He’s got better since he tried making a .50 zip gun.
His do work better and he even has added better stocks.
I thought the same thing
The only good thing about that gun was it didn't explode or actually injure the shooter other than maybe bruise his shoulder.
So basically it's like a last ditch weapon. Except worse and no need for it in the first place.
Dunno, it has practical value in shit hits the fan situation if no other weapons are available and you have few boxes of 12 gauge around. Except make subframe jump forwards, so it counters some of the recoil and add much better stock.
Does that happen a lot where you're from? Stuck somewhere with nothing but a box of shotgun ammo, no shotgun but this piece of crap and your life is on the line? Seems very specific.
I'm sure you could bludgeon someone with it in a pinch.
@@Hellsong89 why not just buy a shotgun that works in case of emergencies?
"Terminator" is a single shot open bolt. Wow
Some one probably saw an Sten Gun and an Owens gun from his grandfathers collection and thought that terrible apocalyptic design would make for a "good shotgun". And thus we have a single chamber no under barreled horrible ass monstrosity. This gun makes his ancestors double barrel look like a futuristic weapon because of how bad this one really is.
no wonder this is the first gun you get in a game i play, it doesn’t just fail all the time, it has terrible recoil, no sights, and of course a single shot
3:47 the anger in that moustache is tremendous
New game: Shotgun Roulette Rules: each player passes around the shotgun in the video, holds the butt end of the gun in front of their face, and pulls the trigger. If the round doesn’t go off, then it is passed to the next player. The last player with a broken nose wins.
Let's be real, no one is going to want to play this for a whole month.
@@_tyrannus 🤣🤣 I died
Even then the Streetswipper would work better for that in the roulette side
some poor kid saw a sten and was like, “I gotta make that into a terrible shotgun”
"14-year-old's Lamborghini poster on the wall" I feel personally attacked and yet proud at the same time. Black Countach, in a red frame. Took it to college, hung it on the wall above my bed. It's in my basement now, somewhere amongst the boxes.
You had the same poster. Admit it.
