All this legal talk! It makes you wonder if shooting a python would get less scrutiny than a human. Weird world we live in! 
I’ve read that snake shot is primarily designed for small pests. Its lethality is quite limited compared to regular ammunition, especially beyond close range. It’s usually not suitable for self-defense against humans.
That’s true! In a close-quarter scenario, snake shot might incapacitate someone, but there are better options for personal defense.
If you consider the range, snake shot is effective up to 10-15 feet, but beyond that, it loses power quickly. Regular loads are far superior for longer distances where lethality matters more.
Exactly! It’s more of a niche round. For larger threats, definitely stick with full-sized ammo.
I’ve always wondered about different ammunition types! Could snake shot be used if you’re in a very confined space? Just curious if it has a place in certain scenarios.
That’s an interesting thought. It could work for deterrence against intruders in tight quarters, but you risk wounding rather than stopping them.

In a life-threatening situation, using snake shot could be contentious. Are you willing to gamble on its effectiveness? It’s a pretty limited self-defense option versus standard ammunition.

But hey, if you’re only protecting against snakes or smaller animals, it might just be perfect! It’s all about knowing your scenario, right?

That makes sense! I actually had a friend who joked it was just a ‘bug spray’ for bigger critters. But I see your point!
Haha, I love that analogy! It’s funny but accurate if you consider intended use!
