When the FBI and every credible authority on the subject backs off the stance that 12" is required for defense, then I will too. I don't have the expertise to disregard their advice. If you think you are qualified to disregard their advice, then that is just something we'll have to disagree about.
So you honestly don't think that 6 inches of penetration into the chest cavity with that amount of shot would incapacitate a person? Come on man, you can't believe that can you? Take out a tape measure and measure your width, that would probably put the shot on the far side of your heart and lungs. That is pretty much enough to do the deed don't you think? Don't rely on testing standards for your inflexible statements. Those numbers are not absolute, and are used for a wide range of testing.
Your statement is false. Admit that you are over hyping your beliefs to make your point.
Can you understand that there are numerous places that a contact shot with birdshot would be immediately incapacitating? Use some common sense man.
I am not trying to defend birdshot, just pointing out your over the top statements are false. There are plenty of circumstances that the minimum penetration of birdshot would be more than enough.
But if you want to stick to your false idea that the testing standards are real world absolutes answer these questions.
Would a contact shot by 12 gauge birdshot at the base of the skull not incapacitate a person?
Would a contact shot by 12 gauge birdshot center mass on the sternum not incapacitate a person?
Would a contact shot by 12 gauge birdshot upward under the rib cage not incapacitate a person?
Would a contact shot by 12 gauge birdshot in the mouth directed toward the rear of the skull not incapacitate a person?
Would a contact shot by 12 gauge birdshot directly in an eye/ear opening not incapacitate a person?
Would a contact shot by 12 gauge birdshot directed into the subclavian arteries not incapacitate a person?
Would a contact shot by 12 gauge birdshot perpendicular to the throat not incapacitate a person?
Do some research on venerable points to a knife attack, most of those would be more incapacitating if shot with a shotgun.
(Let me know if you need more example, one should have done it, but I don't think you are able to get the point with just one.)
There are plenty of circumstances where your statement is completely false.
If you can't see that the need for12 inches of penetration you reference is completely insignificant in considering any of the above wounds then you really don't need to be making videos and trying to impress on people you know what you are talking about.
Like I said before your over the top statements, and now your reliance on testing data and not common sense show you need to take a step back.
