Based on some of the damage that weapon did in the video, I don't expect that is non lethal by any means. That looks like deadly force to me.

Legally, deadly force. Practically, hell no. Not trusting my life to a metal disc with the same velocity as a BB pellet.

How about 4 discs and 15 BBs? PDX 12ga rounds have like 25cm spread at 15 meters...

If I am in the rare scenario where I have to shoot I will use the lethal option. Even if the chance is only 1% where the non-lethal does not kill. Because if I have to shoot than my life is in imminent danger.

No. If my life is on the line, I'm not going to use anything that gives my attacker a fair chance. The e-shotgun looks stupid fun, though, and I'll probably get one for shits and giggles.

Wouldn't want to use it for self-defense. Would just mildly irrate any attacker most likely.

Nevertheless, still a very cool concept and slick implementation.
