The things bullets will go clean through the car, and rip to pieces in the process any thing that is in the way.
It is like a 410 shotgun round.

There is some value to just using the 410 in an urban setting with buckshot pellets.
It makes a better urban warfare weapon, in that in the short barrel shotgun 410 mode, you do not shoot through as many apartment walls, say in close quarters like a 12 gauge would.
A 410 also can be loaded with hollow point slugs, and that is something that is not even nice to think about if it comes in your direction.
While the 45 is easy to put out of sight, the 410 shotgun loaded with slugs or shot is an awesome weapon, and when that pump is pumped, any one hearing that noise, may just go in the opposite direction...

There is a lot to be said for an old fashioned 30 30 also. It makes one hell of a noise, and with the lever action again alerts any one that they are in big trouble.

It holds five rounds, and you can reload it as quick as you can enter rounds in the side.
It has been called a cowboy assault rifle.
The model 94, sure frucked up the remnant of the Indian resistance.

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
