I wouldn't want to be shot with one but you don't need too much common sense to realize someone shot with the round, even at close range, is more than likely not going to be immobilized or seriously injured. They will still be able to cause you bodily harm.
Wow you must not be too bright. Come to my property piss me off, and give me 50 yards or less and im pretty sire I can probably imobilize you, 90 yards or more and i can probably inflict a decent wound. No its not gonna rip your arm off, but anything is deadly if you hit someone in the right spot.
