A shotgun shell loaded with Benadryl instead of buck shot (or rock salt)

Thanks, I thought that object was some kind of lipstick. :D

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Same, dont feel stupid though. Not everyone lives somewhere that home defense is a concern.

I'm really dumb when it comes to guns. Would this actually work??

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

So you're saying to load this shell second.

… yea, in case the buckshot to the face doesn’t put them to sleep first

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

That’s why you use rat or snake shot

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Depends, if the pills stay whole (or in large enough chunks) they don't need shot to help them penetrate.

You just gotta be extra close if you want them to go see ~~Mr Toppum Hat~~ an old friend.

Or mix in some bird shot perhaps?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

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

Overdosing on benydryll will make you halucinate. And not the fun kind

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

DELIRIUM !!! WOOO

I do not recommend experiencing it.

I do recommend reading on it, so people who are curious can change that opinion themselves.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wouldn't having a home intruder hallucinating terrifying things be worse than the alternative? In a fight or flight scenario, they may be more inclined to fight...

Maybe their kit included a scarecrow mask from the Batman movies

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Exactly what I thought lol

Benny overydose will have you seeing the shadowman

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

High doses of Benadryl can give you a REALLY dissociative high.

Bang filled with boom, or a cartridge filled with ~~benzos~~ benadryl
