I hope I never find out, but since I live in a trailer park, I figure it's not as likely to get into the Winnebago next door as 00buck while still being more effective than #2 shot.
I used to think birdshot was adequate at short range until I guy I know showed me his missing tissue/scar tissue. Three 12 gauge shots at powder burn range to his arm and chest. According to him, he was Saint Bradley, but I've known him long enough to figure he might've had it coming.
ya birdshot is worthless even At close range, not enough mass to penetrate & it’s all surface bloody but nothing of ant substance
ran a gut shot 3 times in the chest with a .22 and all surface damage just like the guy who shot him self in the head with a 25 ACP, but that bullet fell into my hands as I was treating him. Had a guy (cop) shoot himself in the leg with a 380 & he walked into the ER not even limping…..another guy put a 200gr flying ashtray .45 ACP into his hand & he drove 15-20 miles to the ER 🤣🤣🤣
this one guy took a 410 Judge, pressed it again th his chest over his heart and pulled the trigger, he spent some time in icu but lived….
Was sitting in the ER once nice and quiet & a car pulls up with a hysterical female driving and a guy screaming and crying he was shot
he shot himself in the foot with a 9mm ball round 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
had a motorcycle gang fight…1 tough guy was shot in the hand by a 40cal & he was crying like a baby and he said the fentanyl lollipop I gave him did nothing for the pain 🤪🤪
sadily I’ve never seen anyone shot by a mini shotgun shell
