#8 and #4 shot for HD is it worth it?

Totally worth it to imagine some people's neck veins popping out whenever one of these threads come up.

yeah, that was never the intent, but is seems to have morphed into it.

Penetration studies are interesting, and often not what people expect.

That's what I told her Doc, but she was still worried about getting pregnant.

9mm vs .45acp ?
Does shooting .40 make you sing Broadway Show tunes
Is .380acp enough ?
What's the best SD round for .22lr ?

I recommend every forum member buy 1k of each of the above, run tests and come back and discuss their findings

BTW, I use attack turtles as an early warning system.

The 45 is sacred, it has proven itself as the one-shot-stop King, no need to mingle among the peasants. :lol2:

Billie Dee Williams did extensive testing on Colt 45. He found that it works every time.

Seriously? Ever read case studies on the terminal ballistics of birdshot? I’d rather have a .25 ACP. I don’t think this is a sound strategy.

I would grab my Tactical over and under. I’d run at the guy yelling “Go O’s”. At the last minute, I’d jump, doing a flying somersault. When I was directly above the guy BOOM, the upper barrel will be discharged, removing the perps right ear and disabling is right shoulder so he drops his weapon. (In the event he’s left handed, I go the opposite way). I would complete my somersault, going horizontally into the opposite wall, pushing off and sliding between the perps legs. The lower barrel is then discharged into the perps crotch, with some of the spray going into the perps eyes, blinding him. This, with my shotgun in my right hand, because my left will catch his dropped firearm before it hits the floor. I will then discharge the firearm into the rectum of the perp, effectively neutralizing him.

Then I’m gonna eat a grilled cheese sammich.

You are hilarious!!! LoL Lol!

The noise in a house shooting any shotgun is deafening. Is ear pro a good or bad idea?

K31 · Jun 26, 2019

By all means have extra ear protection available for the intruder. If you do not kill him he might sue you afterwards for hearing loss.

atblis · Jun 26, 2019

Having hunted squirrels with birdshot, anything smaller than #6 is dramatically less effective at medium to long range probably 30 yards or so being a long shot. I tend towards 5s and even 4s these days for rodents that live in trees. Would I use #8s for defense? Not willingly. There's a substantial difference between 8s and 4s.

On the bus ads it's spelled "everytime".

Gotta keep up with the vernacular.

You're going to need the hearing pro while you wait for the PoPo and Amboolance, not for the gunshot, but the crying perp after you shot him with birdshot

Pffft, birdshot just bounces off clothing at household ranges.

Everyone knows that.

AT spitting range I don't think ammo type is going to matter too much. I think the flash boom, shock and awe will scare a perp into another direction.

Unless they are flying high on serious drugs.

You look at the one shot stop data, .22 does well. My feeling is, even a .22 will stop many people, because they are thinking. But those who it does not, will not be stopped by several .22 hits, so need something serious.
