So do I, as my dentist looks a LOT like that guy..I think about that damn movie every time I go to the dentist
Yipe! I always wince at references to a guy suffering a blow to his privates. Not funny to me at all. I musta been male in some other incarnation.Not a proud moment for me personally, I shot one at a stump about 20 yards away and that son of …. came right back and drilled me in the groin. One and only shot I've taken with that crap. Real eye opening experience
These are called" Less Lethal Rounds" they will still kill just less likely to do so. Plain lead buck shot will also bounce back if it strikes the right surface.Thank you both for this information. I bought a box of 5 rounds years ago. Never fired any simply because I'm a tightwad and didn't want to waste any. Now I think I'll just let them sit on the shelf until I expire.
Blood clots, those are nasty things. I've had them in my lower leg and lungs. Now I'm on Eliquis for life. One more reason to avoid bodily punctures.
Yes, I'm aware. I got a briefing from the anti-coagulation unit of my HMO when this came about a few years ago. They said a common danger for such patients is being in a car wreck. There's the deep bruising thing. Or a bad laceration. These days, I'm a pretty cautious driver in a world gone nuts. I get complaints from Mrs. Merkt for driving too slow.If you have a history of blood clots and get a deep bruise, it would be best to see your Dr.
We've never had a problem with lead #4 buck ricocheting out of our plane. One year we ran out and had to switch to steel f and t shot and had major damage done to our super cub from ricocheted steel shot. That was the last time steel was used for that applicationThese are called" Less Lethal Rounds" they will still kill just less likely to do so.

The less Lethal rounds are used on dangerous people in the jail to force compliance, without endangering the staff. In a SD event I'm not sure they would be the right ammo anyway. In court you would have to say "It was Him or ME!" and then they would say if the situation was that dire why did you pick less lethal rounds?
One ammo that worked well had an infant sock with a light charge of bird shot. It did not penetrate the skin and did not ricochette off hard surfaces. but in a riot, they were shot at the feet and legs. a hit would knock a person off their feet.

They used to teach street cops to bounce buckshot under a car to get someone hiding behind it. Steel would be crazy! DRWe've never had a problem with lead #4 buck ricocheting out of our plane.

Some protester in LA a few years ago took a "less lethal" pellet to one of his stones.No doubt it did....again...Ouch !
A ball to the balls ...makes one cry all the way down the halls...

Yep....knew about that.Some protester in LA a few years ago took a "less lethal" pellet to one of his stones.
He was awarded $300K for his loss.
Protester shot in testicles with LAPD projectile last summer files excessive force lawsuit
A protester who was shot in the groin with a projectile by an LAPD officer during a protest against police brutality has filed a federal lawsuit.www.latimes.com
I think that the Israelis and Iranians are documented to have killed and maimed people with rubber buck shot.
That whole "exercise" of the boat paddle stock stumps me. Collectors love them now, but they were ugly, had noisy sling swivels unless a sling was strapped on and did seem to amplify recoil. Yuk!Little known firearms factoid: Ruger later tragically used a quite similar material to make the (using the term loosely) "Recoil Pad" on the boat-paddle stocks.
My friend is trying to find a skeleton stock ruger in 22-250, they are bringing a mint! I don't get it eitherThat whole "exercise" of the boat paddle stock stumps me.

Fellow forum member is glad as well!!Yep....knew about that.
Glad that was not the case for the our fellow forum member here.

There are anecdotal accounts of troops killing people with CS agents.Some protester in LA a few years ago took a "less lethal" pellet to one of his stones.

...and detachable swivels to easily jettison your sling were treated like seatbelts on the Enterprise: Lost technology.That whole "exercise" of the boat paddle stock stumps me.
