Not trying to be morbid here, just curious:
There is a lot of talk on the pistol and rifle forums regarding the effects of various loads/bullets in ballistic gellatin and/or, uh, warmer targets.
Don't see so much of that in the Shotgun threads - is that because pretty much its a 'done deal' when you hit someone COM with a shotgun blast?
I would be interested in first- or second-hand observations regarding what shotguns do to warm (or formerly warm) targets. Maybe this is just obvious.
What is the energy delivered by a slug at 50 yards? How does that compare to, say, a .308? Are there the same 'hydrostatic shock' effects?
