[QUOTE="ripnbst, post: 3175663, member: 16136"] There is some bad data in the video. He compares .410 Shot shells fired from a pistol to a 12GA shotgun, stating that the 5 pellets coming out of the .410 shell are half as effective as the 12GA. Well...the .410 shells are also being fired from a significantly shorter barrel thus making the velocity of the pellets significantly less, so therefore less energy. It takes a similar approach to .22LR in that it assumes that the rounds were fired from a rifle, at least that was the graphic used. Some of those rounds in defensive situations were likely fired from pistols. I didn't see a distinction made between .22LR fired from a rifle v pistol. All in all a pretty good study but I'd question whether or not important aspects of the data were accounted for like I highlighted above. [/QUOTE]
