Anyone have any experience with these?

Anyone ever try standard 12ga. ammo?

What about those real short 12ga 2 1/4 in loads.

Where can I get one cheap for my new boat.

Would it work for a defensive gun?

1)they are emergency only pyro technic devices.

2)standard 12 ga rounds won't work, and ar too powerfull anyway.

3)there cool, but nowhere near as powerfull as the full size ones..

4)they do make a round that is touted as a defence against bears.

Not to mention that the barrels are made from plastic and would more than likely KB if you fired a shot round through it.

Where can I get the bear defense load?

Any Marine supply store, such as West Marine. They are not cheap. Rounds are about 4$ apiece.

Adapting the things to fire a regular shell will earn you the name "two fingers".
