Here is some diagrams to show a .38 Special vs. a #4 Buck in penetration testing.
vs.
Notice the .38 Special over penetrates the #4 Buckshot.
For all of those who are advocating birdshot for defensive use...
This picture is of a pheasant that was shot with #7 shot (1300 FPS) at 12 yards
Notice how only 1 pellet penetrated the breast on a bird, now imagine this on an intruder hopped up on crystal meth.
Once again, crows, turkeys, pheasants, and doves are not people. Do not expect what works on them to work on people.
