[MR] How much damage would rattan do?

[Dexter Guptill]

The Box O Truth (http://www.theboxotruth.com/) has some interesting
things to say about this.   Shotgun vs The Box is at
http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot3_2.htm.   The problem is, that
anything that will penetrate the requisite 6 inches of flesh for
stopping will also penetrate LOTS of drywall.

Also, if you are dealing with someone that is drunk or high on drugs, they will keep fighting even after bones are broken. (Of course, you all can hit’em in places we can’t) IMHO, the best home defense is a dog and a shotgun loaded with “Birdshot.” (Buckshot and Slugs will go through multiple walls. Birdshot shouldn’t go through more then one) Just my 2 cents worth.
