Seriously, I can see where this makes sense for situations where over penetration is a concern. Like law enforcement …… you don't want to have a slug punch through and through a bad guy and hit someone else.

Frangible buckshot, not slugs.

You're right …… I kind of skimmed through the article. Sorry about that.

I am not convinced.
Sounds like a bad idea to me.
You want smaller shot "fragments" start out with #4 Buck.
Too big? Try BB. I killed dogs at +30 yards with an 18" barrel 12 ga. using Magnum BB.

Another old fanny burp here who firmly believes it is easy to overthink this stuff.
But then, I kill turkeys with a 16-gauge, so what do I know? :lol:

Not frangible... Fragmenting.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.
