I'd like to see the same test conducted with a layer of denim, then soft fatty tissue, then dense muscular tissue, followed by bone, then more soft tissue...more like a human body. What you will more than likely find is the the outer soft layer followed by the muscular tissue will absorb/displace most of the impact and you will have little to no penetration of the bone and subsequent trauma to the underlying soft tissue...as in the critical organs that must be damaged to stop an attacker.
Good stuff though...thanks for putting it up.
I agree. KFOR in OKC had a report of a guy being shot twice in the gut with a .22 in a drive by. He was standing, and laughing while the EMT's were preparing to take him to the ER.
Said he had been shot with a 9mm in the gut a few years ago, and had no ill effects. He was close to 500 pounds. I had posted a link to the story as well, so if anybody wants to do a little goggle fu, go ahead. I'm not going to take the time.
Back on topic. If I wanted to use a shotgun for HD I would go with the latest tecnology in turkey loads. DRT kills out to 60 yds are common with tungston shot that is heavier than lead. Federal just came out with a load that uses the flight contol wads that have big loads and big shot for turkey and coyote. That would be the minimum shotgun load I would even consider for HD.
I did a test with pics on this forum using a Tarus Judge, and a full length shotgun on various targets to see what might be the best round.
Not one round at 7 yds penetrated a cheap pair of safety glasses that my company puts out for us to use.
Its posted on OSA, y'all can look it up. Taurus Judge, and a full length H&R shotgun.
