We tested some beanbag rounds here at the ranch about a year ago. At 20 yards they would break nearly all the way through a thin piece of plywood. They are just a ballistic nylon/fabric bag full of what looks like #7 1/2 lead shot, loaded at a low velocity, for those who are unfamiliar with what they are. They are touted as “Less than lethal” but, of course, just about anything powerful enough to incapacitate can also kill under the right circumstances. Including tasers.

^TRUTH^
Years back, a couple of us tested some of em as well. Ended up with pretty much the same results that you guys got.
IF one of these hit a person just right, it’d most likely kill em, especially if they were already somewhat incapacitated/pumped up on drugs, etc.
IMHO, ANYTHING coming out of shotgun/rifle/pistol barrel can, and most likely, gonna be lethal.
