a fist full of multi purpose game/target rounds.

how effective those rounds would have been on a Human
A little vague since we don't know what your multi-purpose rounds were or what kind of shooter you are but a definite answer would be that if you had shot and your marksmanship was good you would have hurt him. How bad depends on what you shot him with, how far away he was when you shot him and where you shot him.

Would they go through walls? If they were powerful enough to kill game then unless you have stone or brick walls or live in a concrete house your rounds could and would go through a wall. That is why we have endless debates about what gun, what barrel length, what gauge, what size shot/slug etc.

Only reliable non-wall tearing round I am personally aware of outside of custom made rounds are the bean bag rounds. Even they will put a dent in dry wall so whatever you use try really hard to not miss.

Next time grab a light instead of a hand full of shells. It helps if you can identify friend or foe and if not foe they or it would appreciate not being shot. If it is foe it makes things simpler for you if they are temporarily blinded while you take aim. Boogermen rambling in the dark like the dark, take that away from them.
