Look it is a FACT that buck**** is very powerful at close range, how the heck can you compare buckshot to a .22? That is INSULTING, there is NO comparison, absolutely none. I would like the name and date of that black bear magazine, as I would like to purchase it.
So you trained for UFC, eh? Maybe I should inform you that I have trained several times with Dan "THE BEAST" Severn... naw, let you find that out on your own
Bottom line is buckshot is more then powerful enough to do the job, you don't like it? Too bad that's the truth.
