Buckshot leaves a mean and oozy corpse. Bullets are cheap, but a rope is reusable. Bullets speak louder than reason. Check again to make sure it's loaded. Every round downrange, a planned and wanted round downrange.
Firepower is a frame of mind, and a full magazine.
Follow thy loading instructions lest thy breach rise up and smite thee. Gunpowder and alcohol DO mix - but it tastes awful. Guns don't kill people, it's the bullets. Guns get them going faster. Guns don't kill.
