20 gauge shotgun risky?

[Sourdough]

Is using a 20 gauge instead of a 12 gauge more risky?

It mightt... be a little more risky but not by much. Gunshot is my method and the 20 / 12 are 2 of my 3 options which I am quite confident in them all.

Some #2 / 3 buckshot (or slugs I guess) in a 20 or 12 Should be Lights Out. Unless you have a massive flinch or some crazy shit goes on.

Bigger the better but people have also died from .22lr

No. The opposite must be true - your attempt has less chance of failing. Every source of information claims the biggest possible size of gun is always better to affect as big as possibe an area of the brain being the least accurate.

A pistol round in comparison will take a much more accurate shot since it is much smaller.
