Peter Capstick said he wouldn’t hesitate to shoot buckshot at any animal at 10 yards or less cept African and Asian Elephant and Buffalo. Also keep in mind that this was back before there was even 3” shells, never mind 3 ½”ers. Also I doubt he knew much about the patterning techniques of getting really tight buckshot patterns. I guess what I don’t understand is why you don’t think buckshot is powerful? Many do use buckshot in Alaska and the north for anti bear protection, many others also use brenneke slugs. Also it should be noted that ammo makers don’t really manufactor, nevermind specilize in buckshot shells. Only one private company that I know of reloads them. That is partly why I am going on this mission and releasing this video, to prove everyone what buckshot can really do. The question is once this is all proven and documented with video evidence, what will you say/do?

Most people don’t choose buckshot because like you they are not even aware of what buckshot can do when it is setup properly. It is all so unknown so how could most people een consider making such a decision? And yes, T, I will take you up in that bet. How about for $50-100?

“Buckshot has such a traumatizing shock effect because impact damage goes up as the square of the number of simultaneous hits: 2 hits from one shot is the same as 4 hits from separate shots, 3 hits is the same as 9 independent hits, etc etc.”

Getting hit by the 12 pellet 0000 buckshot load would be akin to being shot with 144 separate shots from a .38 special!

“Statistically, in 100% of fire exchanges, lethal are 95% of the targets defeated with a shotgun, compared to 47-50% hit with an automatic weapon and 3-4% hit with a handgun.”
