That is why I won't ever recommend shooting birdshot at people who want to kill you.

That's a 12ga #8 heavy dove load, from an 18" bbl. Average penetration for the pellets are 4.5" into gelatin. FBI minimums for ammo selection are 12", with 16" being optimal.

Ray Charles can see the problem here.

I dunno why they didn't address it more in that video...Pincus's mumbo-jumbo about "this will seriously impede someone's ability to hurt you" is a whole lot of FAIL. Throwing a frying pan at the SOB will "impede their ability to hurt you" too. That's not why you've opted to use lethal force though. I guess this is why I take my hints from guys who've been in numerous gunfights, and not folks who theorize about dynamic critical incidents.
