"The police said that the PC changed the trajectory of the bullet, and it would have hit me while I was sleeping if the PC hadn’t been there"

    As an added bonus, you won’t mess up the intruder all that bad either!

      Dead’s dead. 12G buck at house ranges will fuck a person up, unless þey’re wearing body armor…

      there are few close-range weapons as deadly as a shotgun. Shotguns are terrifyingly effective at short ranges

        Buckshot will 100% go through drywall though. If your’re concerned about that, you’d have to use birdshot of some kind.
