The 1100 has a good reputation for stopping power.
The tactical model holds 8+1 shots. With each shell containing 9 pellets of 00 buckshot, that gives an onboard capacity of 81 .33 caliber bullets each traveling at 1350 FPS.
Given a realistic close-range rapid aimed rate of fire of of approx. 3 rounds per minute, we multiply the 9 projectiles per shell times 3 for 27 projectiles per second. Convert that to projectiles per minute and we get a “rate of fire” of 1,620 rounds per minute of what is essentially a small caliber submachine gun.
So in terms of firepower, imagine a .32 ACP submachine gun with an 81 round magazine firing fully automatic at 1,620 RPM, far higher than the famously fast MG42 machine gun of WW2 fame.
That is what a Remington 1100 Tactical can do.
Devastating!
