Shotgun Ammo?

[r1dge69]

A while back I saw a show on one of the Outdoor Channels about a shotgun ammo that won't penetrate thru walls. For the life of me I can't remember what the ammo is called. Does anyone know?
Thanks!!!

I would think #8 or even #6 birdshot would not have lethal potential IF it could even pass all the way through walls

I did not see the video.

However, as far as using 8 or 6 shot? It all depends on how close you are. I have cut a squirrel in half a 15 ft. (He jumped.) Most rooms are not 15 feet. Think about having a full choke, at say 8 feet from the end of the barrel to the wall? 8 would probably have less effect after the dry wall. I still keep 6 around the house for HD. At least I am not going to take out the neighbors with 00. Make your self a box 16" by maybe 30 with dry wall on both sides and shoot a couple of shots at close range to see what happens.

Depend on how far from the wall you are and what they are made of. Frangible ammo will most of the time not penetrate 2 layers of drywall. The problem is that if the load will not go through a couple layers of drywall then it is not going to be very effective on a bg..

Any suggestions would be helpful
