Pilots who like frangible rounds but can't get any of the government issue
can easily make their own by loading .45 cal shot shells with bits of wire
and small birdshot. These can be fired from a revolver, but not an automatic
pistol. At close range the round will act just like a slug, but it will not
penetrate wallboard, extremely thick clothing, airplane windows or aircraft
aluminum. This is the famed "junkyard dog" load printed in American
Handgunner several years ago. Guaranteed to stop an inadequately protected
human target, but it makes a heck of mess to clean up afterwards.
