Over in rec.guns, we were talking about the ballistic possibilities of the smallest functional combat handguns made, the NAA Minirevolvers in .22Magnum. See them at www.naaminis.com - they're cool. Also totally undetectable in a pocket, making them roundly disliked by "the powers that
be".
Anyhow, they have a 5shot cylinder that is nearly perfectly sized for a 12gauge shotgun barrel. Said cylinder is easy to remove because that's the only way to load the little barstards (note: small gun with potent ammo equals KICK. Biiiiig kick. Lotsa fun at ranges showing people who mistake
them for toys that they *ain't*. Bring Band-Aids.)
So you take that cylinder, load it with 5 Magnum rimfire rounds, stick it in a 3" Magnum shotgun shell in front of a healthy charge. The shotgun powder blast should crank off all five rimfire projectiles, which would pepper the target prior to obliterating it with a flying chunk of stainless steel with five "cookie cutter" holes.
The possibilities for a truly confoosed coroner are endless.
