But what if it was SUPERGLUE (yes, I know it MIGHT be brittle but at THAT density)????? :lol: :lol:
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

Physics 101:
The "energy" of a 12 ga., slug, birshot, or anything else is inconsequential.
Picture how much the recoil shoves your shoulder when you shoot one.
Now let me wallop you with a feather pillow, and see which effects you more.
Thus we see that attacking bears with feather pillows isn't going to be that effective either, or at least right up there with retired financial planners waving their arms. :D

Results from firearms come from adequate penetration, and the only way to achieve that with birdshot, is to take that shell out, and replace the shell with a slug.
Supergluing a whaling harpoon point to the slug might be of some utility.
