A 10 inch circle has exactly 1/4 of the area of a 20 inch circle.

The formula is pi * r^2 or you can write it as (pi * d^2 ) /4

A .223 shoots only one "pellet" at a time. So, at close range a 12 ga. is more likely to hit than a .223 rifle.

But the short range is a beauty of the shotgun. It allows you to defend against an assailant with less chance of hurting a neighbor or friend.

A shotgun is not the only tool, but is a valuable tool, nonetheless.

A turkey's head is a difficult target. If the CAR-15 in .223 or .22LR is so much more effectice than the shotgun, why is it not the turkey hunter's favorite?

a 95%probabilty of a shot's stopping a man is only 20% better than a 75% sort of load.

Huh?

Using that logic, a 100 percent stopper is only 25 percent better than a 75 percent stopper.

Let's start over. A 75% load fails five times as often as a 95% load.

irregardless, it DOES show that stagnant-puddle is FOS about the math of it. He THINKS he's right,too. That's the FUNNY part.

There is no such word as "irregardless". It should read "regardless".
