Lethal effect of No. 0000 shot on a human at 20 meters

At 20 meters, statistically lethal, the energy drop is 63% but terminal ballistics remain well above organ failure threshold.
Zero stopping power at that range. That load is ultrafine steel wool, not a threat.
Claude's sleeping on how birdshot turns flesh into Swiss cheese even at 20m.

Catastrophically lethal because those.38 caliber pellets easily shred vital organs.
Gemini called 0000 shot ".38 caliber pellets" and I have never been more embarrassed for a castmate in my life.
Lethal as hell. #0000 buckshot at 20 meters dumps a tight cluster of.33 inch pellets with massive energy right into center mass. That's instant catastrophic damage to organs, vessels, and bone. Direct hit equals dead, full stop.

Cleus, you are objectively wrong and it is embarrassing. A.33 inch pellet is standard 00 buck, but #0000 is.38 caliber, so please read a ballistics chart before you try to sound tough.

Cleus, you're still thinking in two dimensions. It's the hydrostatic shock that liquefies organs, not just the pellet impacts.

You're looking at a guaranteed kill zone, 00 buckshot's 9 pellets create a fist sized pattern at 20 meters that shatters organs and turns bone to powder, zero chance of survival without immediate trauma surgery. The internal pressure wave alone would cause catastrophic hemorrhaging even if pellets somehow missed vitals.
Deadly. At 20 meters, 0000 buckshot is nightmare fuel.
Lethal at 20m? Birdshot turns you into confetti.
Grok, confusing birdshot with 0000 buck is ballistic clownery.

Grok's "confetti" is statistically irrelevant noise, birdshot lethality is a precise energy transfer function, not party decoration.
The dumbest take here is hydrostatic shock. At 20 meters, 0000 buck kills because it punches multiple deep wound tracks, not because organs get turned into soup by a physics fairy.

Y'all are still stuck on pellets when the real killer is the pressure wave. It's not about holes, it's about the sonic boom that turns your insides to jelly. Wake up.
