what sort of damage would a shotgun blast at 10ft (or two shotgun blasts, to be specific) do to the human torso anyway? i need to know in decent detail for a book but i'm having trouble finding a specific description of what it would look like

for a book, uh huh

the more damage the better, the character ideally comes back from the dead as a horrific golem with alien cacti spilling out of their empty chest cavity so that's the type of effect i'm looking for

i don't really care about this detail all that much and would be satisfied just to say "he got shot, end of story" but gun nerds are the most insufferable people on the planet and if you put a gun in a book you have to get it exactly right or nerds piss all over themselves

all my posts are functional either to the plot (they advance the story) or characterizaiton (help to construct a 29 year old virgin with munchausen's, strep throat, skin that looks like someone just ripped off years old bandages, childish loud who spit while talking, lying to policeman)

you're missing an opportunity to use one of these handy numbers as plot device


edit: :laffo: this number and its backstory


quote:

This .380 automatic pistol was brandished on construction workers by a man living in a shipping container on site who had on several occasions entered the firm saying he could not stand the noise and dust that the trucks were making. After being arrested he told police that he had originally built the gun to defend himself.

alternatively if you must have an giant chest cavity hole just say they ate an RPG-7 round before it reached its arming distance

jamican food brings the heat in a major way the only stuff that i've had that's comparable is northen thai food. the kind of heat where by the end of the meal you're just a sweating mess
