I agree that OO buckshot will be the man stopper of choice for any shotgun Survivalists BUT I also expect standard birdshot of approx size 7.5 to be the likely Shotgun calibre due to this being very far and very away the most common shell in circulation - in the UK anyway. I wonder how that police riot gear would stand up to a blast from bird shot at close and medium ranges?

I agree TL the most common cartridges overall are going t or 9 shot and you really don't want to get shot upclose by one of these cartridges , not because they are particularly hard hitting but they will shred you and you'll probably die a lingering death from infwction and or blood loss....horrific.....these cartridges should be used on small flying game not defence.

i suspect the bobby moats shot had a fortunate escape...reckon he missed by a narrow margin with the pellets and the damage was done by the powder charge causing localised trauma...the bobby(RIP)looked to whole afterwards to have been shot full force in the face from 5ft or so.
