Birdshot can absolutely ricochet off steel (especially at the range we're applying it) I don't know why you think it would produce less shrapnel. And birdshot almost guarantees at least 1 projectile will miss the target given there's no backdrop. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] KeithD@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 months ago You spelt exasperate wrong. ITYM exacerbate. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago Birdshot has a lot less mess per projectile though, so less energy in each one, and also more friction by mass, so the energy is lost a lot faster. I'm not saying it's safe, but it is less likely to be lethal at least. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JillyB@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago (1 child) In most skeet/clay shooting ranges, there is no backstop and the shooters are aiming into the air. With the tiny pellet sizes, they lose energy quickly and drop to the ground at terminal velocity, which is much slower than the speed they were fired. That's why I specifically named bird shot rather than buckshot which has larger heavier pellets. It would still maybe be fine but bird shot definitely would. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) skeet/clay shooting ranges "RANGE" Its it the name dumbass. A shooting range is specifically designed/located/oriented to accomodate for bullet dropoff. But sure falsely equate that with shooting a shotgun off in the middle of town. You are a fucking idiot. I wouldn't normally jump to this but what you're suggesting could kill someone. I will be blocking you now. permalink fedilink source parent
