  • Birdshot is perfectly acceptable in a home defense situation given the short ranges. It does have a lower lethality but unobstructed head and chest shots will most likely be fatal and will incapacitate.

    An advantage to bird shot is that two layers of drywall may slow it down enough to prevent lethal injuries to bystanders such as family members in other rooms.

    A disadvantage is that it will likely be stopped by body armor where buckshot packs enough punch that it can cause severe injury even if it doesn’t penetrate.

    I don’t have ready sources for this, just general informed opinion.



  • Anybody know where to find an archive of this disk?

    It’s all publicly available info, or was. I’ve got a Raid 5 I can throw it on, might come in handy during power outs and such.

    I’ve got spare hard drives, and an old Pi and other computers around. No need to spend $189 on this when you can pretty easily DIY. The value is the prepackaged archive.

    I see projects like kwix and such, but I don’t immediately see this archive or anything comparable. Haven’t looked into this before.

    BTW, if you’re actually worried about the end of the world or whatever, this won’t save you. Make friends with your neighbors and communities. If you don’t have a physical trade, you need to learn one like fixing shit or growing really good weed.
