re: #299 The Ghost of a Flea

Also, bird shot would lose a lot of it’s power to harm over a short distance, so you don’t have to worry as much about backstops or what happens if the bullet goes through the bird. Ergo less likely that anybody around (that can’t be seen, even) gets a severe wound, and you’re likely to wound yourself in a life-threatening way.

When you draw a bead on something, you need to think about the ramifications of missing, where’s the bullet’s going if it passes through the target, and whether there’s anything that could get between the muzzle and the target (because you’re trying to hit a moving target, or there are other people/things moving that could cross into your aim).

Friendly Fire?
