Now if the Goblin was wearing HEAVY (motorcycle leather grade) clothing there would be little to no penetration of the shot.
NO buckshot does NOT knock a goblin flying, simple law of physics for every action there is and equal and opposite reaction. does the shotgun knock the shooter flying?
Sorry if I sound preachy about this but it is one of my pet peeves.
and less than a week ago I showed someone a shotgun pattern at 14 ft [ inside a room ] Cyl. bore, 24in. barrell, #9 AA's had a 4in. dense pattern with scattered shot to 51/2 in. A mod. choke would have been about half that.Not nearly what most would think of a shotgun.
I don't know about penetration, I would think #4 to 00 would be good. but I'm not sure about bird shot.
I will check it out.
