Nothing like a shooting range in the middle of a residential neighborhood

It don't take much to get thru a sheet metal safe.
My gun safe would take a little bit more though.
The door itself weighs 1200 lbs.

Mr. GG2 makes his own wax slugs and they are lethal.

For one thing they are cheaaaaap. They also have the same power as a regular slug but they don’t tend to over penetrate.

OK. Thanks, I never heard of them. I always use lead or steel shot.

An example of an idiot giving giving private gun ownership a bad reputation.
He has a row of greenhouses with workers inside directly behind his target. Yes they are a long way away but if he flinches and just clips the top of the safe, the slug skips upwards and will go a long way towards the greenhouses.
If he flinches and clips the side, the slug goes off in the direction of the neighbor's house.

Wax plug, with small shot.
If it clips an edge it breaks up into tumbling pieces with no range.
If he misses all together, it has the aerodynamics of a tumbling can with no range.

Without a backstop, he does not know what will happen once a projectile goes beyond the target.

Do you understand the difference in range between Rifles and Shotguns?

There is no shot shell load of any kind that would travel half that distance.

Even if 1000 yards distant, a responsible gun owner in such situation would instinctively fire towards the presumably less inhabited woodline than a row of greenhouses.
