On another website, I said that I had alot of #4 & #6 12 gauge ammo & some smart-*** said if he got shot be #4 or #6 that he would take the shotgun out of their hands & shove it up the shooters *** Is this guy C R A Z Y, if he got shot even by #8 birdshot, he'll be going down

agreed, #8s are still traveling at atleast 800 ft/s at 25yds, granted the pattern is much more spread out, but hes gonna be hurting. Really, anything with #6s and bigger, the dudes gonna really be lucky to live. ive got a box of 000 buck, 7 pellet, wonder how he'd like to be hit with that. hey gunman, what gun forum you on?

I'm not on any gun forum, Was on one, but most of the guys there were worshipping glocks, & when I mentioned I wanted to get a frame mounted thumb safety, on my glock it got ugly

Got my hands on a spare vest... Hopefully in the next month or so I'll test it against some different loads. From Pistol to rifle to shotty... Should be fun...

Anyone know how to make balistic gel by any chance?
