I think upon seeing what the 2.75in BB shell did to Paul Harrell's meat target my choice of goose rounds is justified, best of both worlds. I imagine my T shot would work out even better.

I thought the joke was clear, I have seen hundreds of people asked, ohhh yeaaah, bet you won't stand in front of 22, 25, 32, 380 bird shot !!!
I was throwing back a crazy ohhhh yeaaaah.
They need to go buy some bird shot and shoot a 1.5-2 lb squirrel at 30 ft and see him shrug it off. Definitely not drop. Not right away anyways.
The claims need context. 200 lb - 260 lb dude with layers on I think can shake off bird shot to the body twice no problem. They won't even feel it for a few minutes.
It's a matter of comparatives. I wouldn't want to get shot with anything but if I had to get shot, there are better choices than others. I'd rather get shot with birdshot than buckshot. I'd rather get shot with a 25ACP than a 45ACP. I'd rather get shot with FMJ than JHP in the same caliber...and so on.
Are you saying you will be out robbing other houses the next day?
No treatment needed by a Dr. of any kind? No police report & if there was, you will be released to do it again?
Sounds like a problem with the legal system more then the home owner that you just KILLED because he only used birdshot to defend his home & family.
I always have heard buffered and plated #1 is the best, with OO buck the next best.
But at close range, like a couple of inches...it all acts the same! Brains will be on the floor even with #8 birdshot
Call me a sissy, but I don't even want to get shot by a slingshot and rock.
Unfortunately I have seen others post similar things. It really rubs me the wrong way when I see it. Is it a challenge? A pointless rant? A threat? Who can tell what the poster's intentions are but anyone that suggests pointing a firearm at a person on a gun forum is out of line - IMHO.
I have dropped little red squirrels with #7 in a 410 at 30 - 40 feet or so. I don't like killing things but the red squirrels chew holes in the garage and boat house and cause some real damage. The #7 does the job but you are right ... not a movie shot that sends them flying back 15 feet. I figure the #7 is a good compromise between taking care of the squirrels without the pellets carrying too far.
