Never shot any bird shot larger than a 22.
With it, i would hate to trust my life to it, but i guess a slingshot and a pebble in the right hands is deadly.
Short distace, it would be hard to get the same overall tissue shock that a shotgun will provide. They're not lung friendly. With proper placement, they may not have the scary speed and awesome energy values, but they leave a hard to do anything with mess.
I've shot a wild pig and coyote under 5 feet while turkey hunting. A .50 200 grain sabot couldn't punch a whole the size 4 shot did in the chest wall of that sow. Exhilerating experience all should try once.
Thats what i use for home defense.
