A pellet gun will penetrate two windows 22 feet apart and put someone’s eye out, hell one of those rubber slugs would do that.
The thing with bird shot, it will, can and has taken human life. It does more wounding of people though. It will penetrate dry wall and windows but will not penetrate reliably far into layers of clothing, fat, muscle to end a fight as quick as possible.
Although birdshot might be 1 oz of lead , depending on shot it can be hundreds of pellets just a couple grains each, very very low inertia and energy, but enough to wound people and sometimes end, god forbid, their life.
Your shotgun has a cylinder bore, it is going to allow that birdshot to spread quickly as it departs the muzzle…..the only hope for birdshot to be effective in HD would be to keep a tight pattern and concentrate the energy into a smaller area, rinse and repeat…..Nothing you can buy is the magic shell, it’s all dangerous to collateral damage , even rubber could make an innocent bystander blind for life
