Elderly woman strangles pigeons

Will rocksalt shell shotguns break skin though? At what range? Hmm.

At 20 yards, you might scare a dog or some other animal, but you sure wouldn’t break the skin.

At 10 yards, you might break the skin with a couple of grains, but nothing very serious.

At 12 feet, you might get the desired effect, if the desired effect is to “burn” the target with the rock salt.

At 4 feet, you might cause a wound requiring a visit to a hospital for a human, or maybe death to a small animal.
