Save your money. Less Lethal is oft still lethal. Use standard ammo you've practiced with,

If an armed intruder breaks into your home do you really want to be shooting rubber at them??

Rubber is for love, not war.

Not just less lethal

I never said that i would shoot any one whit it, and the Road Blocker round is not less lethal

Some time ago i found a web page that had al kinds of weird ammo like
Dragon Breath, they claim this round will throw flames for a few secons. I think they had one hvere the buck shoots are conected whit a line.

I happen to find this amusing and there fore i like to try some of them.

Fore home defense.....hell no......im not givin any one who forces there way into my house a bruce

Thats the web site i was looking fore.

Thank you

I have to try this one the day i have $15 to waste

12 GA. Terminator-X
The lethality contained within the hollow core slug of our terminator 12 GA. almost can't be advertised. Upon impact, This slug mushrooms and expands to nearly 2 inches, stopping the slug from totally penetrating your objective. This rapid expansion forces the dozen of tiny pellets to spread through your objective like a cancerous disease, opening an area at the impact point equal to a softball! The cavity created has the shock effect of 95%! That means only 5% of any living being could survive this kind of hit.2 3/4” round

"I have to try this one the day i have $15 to waste"
=======================================

And THAT is the operative sentence.

For grins and giggles, try it. For real, forget it. Find ammo that your shotgun likes (runs 100% with, patterns well) and spend your money on that. The $5 per round stuff that gets hoarded like treasure is worthless to you, you cannot afford to shoot enough of it to know if it is reliable in your gun or if it performs reliably in use. Stick to ammo that you can afford to shoot lots of, spend your money shooting lots of it, get your shotgun to the point where it is as familiar as a body part. Better deal all round.

Stay safe,
