We tested 20-gauge birdshot for home defense by firing it from a 12-inch barrel into drywall and 7/16-inch plywood. The pe*******on surprised me—but what happened five feet behind the wall revealed the biggest difference between birdshot and buckshot. Could birdshot deliver a serious wound while reducing dangerous overpe*******on, or is buckshot still the better home-defense sh***un load? Watch this real-world sh***un wall pe*******on test before deciding what am******on belongs in your home-defense setup. Testing was performed in a controlled environment. Always follow fi***rm-safety rules and local laws.
