A shotgun shell loaded with Benadryl instead of buck shot (or rock salt)

[–] rbn@sopuli.xyz 29 points 1 month ago

Thanks, I thought that object was some kind of lipstick. :D

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My stupid ass thought it was a different kind of shot. Was like "wow, they over-salted that rim!"

Same, dont feel stupid though. Not everyone lives somewhere that home defense is a concern.

I'm really dumb when it comes to guns. Would this actually work??

[–] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes sort of. Anything loaded in a shell like this will come out of the barrel at high velocity and could definitely penetrate skin at close range. The pills will probably turn into fine powder, so the effective range is probably like 1m?

Based on some quick research, the difference is more than 5x.

Bio-availability via oral dosage is 40-60% whereas as topical is less than 10%.

Intravenous is 100% bio-availability so open wounds should help so coating buck shot with it as others have suggested should be affective. It's also immediate, oral is 1 to 4 hours.

So you're saying to load this shell second.

… yea, in case the buckshot to the face doesn’t put them to sleep first

[–] Mini@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

That’s why you use rat or snake shot

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Depends, if the pills stay whole (or in large enough chunks) they don't need shot to help them penetrate.

You just gotta be extra close if you want them to go see ~~Mr Toppum Hat~~ an old friend.

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Or mix in some bird shot perhaps?

[–] 000999@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

If they mixed ground benadryl with oil and coated birdshot inside the cartridge with the mixture it might work. Not sure if the drug would enter the bloodstream of the home intruder in a large enough quantity to cause hallucinations though

Overdosing on benydryll will make you halucinate. And not the fun kind

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 points 1 month ago

DELIRIUM !!! WOOO

I do not recommend experiencing it.

I do recommend reading on it, so people who are curious can change that opinion themselves.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wouldn't having a home intruder hallucinating terrifying things be worse than the alternative? In a fight or flight scenario, they may be more inclined to fight...

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe their kit included a scarecrow mask from the Batman movies

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Exactly what I thought lol

Benny overydose will have you seeing the shadowman

High doses of Benadryl can give you a REALLY dissociative high.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Bang filled with boom, or a cartridge filled with ~~benzos~~ benadryl
