How far was Rodny when he was shot? I'm betting a heck of a lot further than the distance most of us could ever shoot inside our homes.

Humans are built tougher. We have stronger bones. We have thicker skin. We wear clothes that protect us. And compared to a small animal, our important stuff is much further away from the surface.
Here's another experiment. Test that birdshot penetration on ballistic gel at chicken ranges (the 40 to 50 yards) versus home defense ranges (10 feet to 30 feet at most?). Wait, I believe that was just done in the Gunblast video posted above.
