Now this maybe childish but it's something that bug me for sometime. When i had my noble i should had did this. can a 12ga with buckshot make kill headshot? i seen this on tv and moives(zombie moives a lot) and i would really like to know this. I know at about 20 yards is the best a 18'' shotgun can get on a man size target for body shots. My noble would shoot a slug ok but buckshot close range was it(15 was the best i could get).
