Since then been to several hunting accidents involving bird shot. It kills dead and quick at close range, distances the inside of most homes.

Agreed my experience in EMS and Trauma Centers tells me that from room distances birdshot will make a nice rathole wound. Even in the coldest of weather with thick clothing.
