Foster Slugs
07 May 09 Twelve-gauge slugs work only too well! This from an LEO student in TX: "Last weekend, a local miscreant became upset with his favorite drug retailer, and, as a way of expressing his unhappiness, shot-up the dealer's mobile home, using a twelve-gauge shotgun. The shotgun's magazine tube was charged with four, Foster slugs. All four struck the trailer. One slug was fired lengthwise, through the trailer. It entered the exterior wall, penetrating four interior walls, and exited out the other end. It was not recovered, and is still going, as far as we know! We arrested the idiot, without further incident, shortly thereafter. No one in the trailer was hurt." Comment: Penetration capability of twelve-gauge slugs never fails to astonish me! They go right through what 223 and most pistol rounds never will. /John
