BTW much better to be shot with birdshot rather than buckshot but buckshot beats the hell out of slugs.
Yes, he did. I don't think you would want to be shot with any of it, if it was close range. Even birdshot could kill you, if you're close enough and damn sure has the potential to blind you. Friend of mine got shot in the mid-chest area while turkey hunting. Docs were able to remove a lot of the shot, but not all. They just left it in and eventually it worked its way out. He was in a bad way for awhile. Had recently divorced. Ex-wife felt so sorry for him, she moved back in for awhile to take care of him.
