This "Demolition Ranch" video shows how to make shotgun loads using birdshot, wax and steel wool for a uniquely effective, fairly low-velocity "bundle of joy" capable of splintering cinder-block.

Steel Wool with Wax in a Shotgun Shell

...But for the baddest of the bad, the top 5 guns the U.S. Government does NOT want you to have (but are still legal)....

5 Guns The Government Doesn't Want You To Have...

I cracked up when what's-his-name talked about an 18-year-old kid walking into his shop and plunking down $13K and walking out with a Barrett .50. It struck me suddenly that the same kid, living in the state of Ohio, could LEGALLY hunt and shoot rabbits, squirrels, groundhogs, and so on with his new toy, but he would be arrested and jailed and his new Barrett would be confiscated if he shot a 200-lb. whitetailed deer with that same gun.

Wow, as I pause for a minute and scrape my jaw off the floor. Had no idea that you could or would modify bird shoot shells in such a way. Viewed the Dragon Fire video and had my eyes opened to the much wider array of shotgun ammo that is available and their characteristics. Had no idea. Thanks for posting.

There is much people don't know about shotgun ammo PP.  People think there just for bird hunting.  Even for bird hunting you need to know what load to use.

Yep, they used to hunt elephants with a 12 gauge, and it wasn't buck shot, insated, it was one solid ball.
