See next photo. But then they said hollow point slug, it expand more, but penetrate LESS.You need expansion, otherwise it goes straight through with not as much damage. There is a slight amount of gunpowder on the inferior aspect of the wound. As a buckshot is fired, the pellets discharge outward in a scattering-like fashion. Curious if anybody knows which 12 gauge shells are stronger? Welcome to Sanctioned Suicide, a pro-choice forum for the discussion of mental illness, suicide, and the moral implications of the act itself. We do not encourage or aid suicide, and the information offered is for educational purposes only. A slug would for sure do the trick, but also keep in mind that a slug is a huge projectile so there is less spread going around. In my opinion, and my experience, Slugs seem to go right through Metal Chestplates (not sure if this is still accurate), in essence more damage (the statistic I saw somewhere was 25 Bullet for Buckshot, and 75 Bullet 25 Blunt for Slugs; could still be wrong about this too, just recently got back into Rust). Slugs. This is not a pro-suicide site. just my experience. Shot, the common term for a collection of round projectiles fired from a shotgun, is packed into a shotshell atop a wad.
We also offer a recovery subforum if you wish to get support. the slugs are useless. You can be shot multiple times and unless you hit something vital even if appears so, sometimes the target just gets lucky, till you put another one in the brain housing group. The gun was my bird gun, so all it had for sights was the front bead. There is a soldier in the news, hit 7 times with 7.62 X 39, killed a few more of them, evac'd, hospialized, and the jihadi has the same questions as you, and now he is home today with wife and kids, the jihadi who knows. As a teenager, the first deer I ever shot was taken with a full-choked smoothbore 20-gauge Browning Auto 5 shooting 3/4-oz Winchester rifled slugs. I personally would go with 00 buckshot since it is powerful enough to kill and has the added insurance of more spread damage as the pellets spread out after being expelled from the barrel at 1250+ fps (depending on the load). Free people understand the Mr. Murphy effect on being shot. He's done different size buckshot vs slug on drywall, vs. the "meat target", he's tested bolo rounds, thumbtacks, mini-shells, bird/buck combos, buck and slug against 3A body armor, and on and on. The.223 and the 5.56 are the same round. When the buckshot is fired from the shotgun the pellets scatter outward just like the birdshot. Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. A slug is heavier than the bullet that is used in a rifle. Which should I use for a sure kill?.. Shotgun Buckshot. Buckshot does a wider spread of shots and has higher chance of hitting moving enemies #2.

Temple is a no-no though, need to be in the mouth @ a 10 degree angle to the horizontal.Buckshot, evidence proves it will cause a major damage. I am thinking slugs I think the question you are asking is if a 12 gauge 00 buck or slug cartridge is deadlier than a .223, 5.56 or a 7.62 round.
Fortunately, advances in slugs and slug guns for deer have changed all figure 8.19 The woman was shot first in the right knee. figure 8.21 Fragments of bone from her knee were imbedded in her face (arrow). In interior (not mixed interior/exterior) home defense situations, buckshot and slugs are totally out of the question, unless perhaps you are using them in a .410 shotgun. See next photo. TOMMY. Lets get some terminology straight 1st. The bigger the pellets, the more impact it will have on the target.
The only difference is the buckshot does more damage than the birdshot because it uses larger pellets. I personally would go with 00 buckshot since it is powerful enough to kill and has the added insurance of more spread damage as the pellets spread out after being expelled from the barrel at 1250+ fps (depending on the load).Sorry I got to bump this thead due to I have a question (same question so I rather bump this than make a new thread).When I was researching this method about a year ago, I came to the conclusion that hollow-point slugs are the best bet.
