      My stupid ass thought it was a different kind of shot. Was like “wow, they over-salted that rim!”

        Yes sort of. Anything loaded in a shell like this will come out of the barrel at high velocity and could definitely penetrate skin at close range. The pills will probably turn into fine powder, so the effective range is probably like 1m?

          Based on some quick research, the difference is more than 5x.

          Bio-availability via oral dosage is 40-60% whereas as topical is less than 10%.

          Intravenous is 100% bio-availability so open wounds should help so coating buck shot with it as others have suggested should be affective. It’s also immediate, oral is 1 to 4 hours.

        If they mixed ground benadryl with oil and coated birdshot inside the cartridge with the mixture it might work. Not sure if the drug would enter the bloodstream of the home intruder in a large enough quantity to cause hallucinations though
