Here is some good intel on the birdshot. Again, we are notsaying you cannot kill with birdshot. But there are industry standards for a round/load to be considered able to reliably (within reason of course) stop a BG.

Box o Truth has a few articles on birdshot and other shoots and penetration. http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot3_2.htm

Great link. Goes through each load and explains. http://www.shadonet.com/2008/01/choo...-home-defense/


Here is a 7 1/2 shot load fired at gelatin from 10ft (small room). Notice only 5.5inches of penetration. FARRRR from the required 12 and suggested 18 inches of penetration by the FBI.
