There you have it! Your description is exactly why they are called brush guns, short and quick handling, not because they can plow through brush and still be on the mark. I saw a demonstration once on TV where they showed that a lighter faster bullet actually did better shooting through brush than a 30-30 and a .35 Rem. In fact, I would not have shot at all in the situations shown in the demo. I do not believe in shoot and hope or a magic bullet.
