12ga ROCKSALT: It worked a little too well...

Описание: Would rock salt work as non-lethal ammo? You might be surprised.
In today’s test, we load up 12-gauge shotgun shells with rock salt to find out whether this old-school deterrent actually holds up as a self-defense option. Is it painful enough to stop an intruder—but still legally safe to use? Let’s find out.

We compare the damage, range, and legal risks of rock salt against rubber rounds and other less-lethal options. The results include eviscerated chickens, exploding melons, and a brutal wake-up call on what non-lethal really means.

If you're thinking about using salt shells for home defense... watch this first.
