This video investigates the lethal range of birdshot using a ballistic dummy. It demonstrates that at 100 yards, birdshot is not lethal, with pellets merely resting on the surface. At 50 yards, it's painful but not considered lethal, and at 25 yards, while more pellets penetrate, it's still not deemed lethal. The instructor suggests 15 yards begins to enter the lethal range, and 5 yards is definitively lethal, with significant tissue damage observed.
