At
five
yards,
the
single
round
effect
of
a
.45
Winchester
Magnum
bulleted
shotshell
is
evident
from
the
reverse
of
the
plywood
sheet.
The
approximately
12-inch
spread
of
the
damage,
inflicted
by
the
"sub
caliber
swarm"
is
roughly
centered
on
the
damage
made
by
the
69
grain
"canister"
projectile.
The
choke
effect
of
the
flash
suppressor
/
muzzle
break
serves
to
tighten
the
pattern.

A
closer
view
more
readily
shows
the
effects
of
the
#6
pellets
and
the
central
projectile.
The
shot
pattern,
surrounding
the
center
projectile,
offers
several
potential
advantages
for
defeating
opponents
who
may
be
wearing
body
armor.
Though
the
69
grain
center
projectile
may
or
may
not
penetrate
body
armor,
the
spray
of
#6
pellets
will
certainly
enhance
the
potential
to
injure
an
adversary
by
striking
unarmored
spots.
Further,
at
ranges
less
than
25
yards,
the
69
grain
projectile,
moving
at
extreme
velocity,
hits
with
kinetic
energy
equal
to
or
greater
than
that
of
a
.45
ACP
round
fired
from
an
M1911
pistol
fired
point
blank.
