They only mention fragments for a few shotgun cases: can we assume the other shotgun survivors are from slugs? Also, what do you think about rifle vs slug? Similar in lethality? There is probably reasons why shotgun seems to be preferred over rifle, but it might just be convenience and access.
I think it's easier to handle a shotgun versus a rifle based on the length of each weapon
Yeah you are probably right considering probability, because slugs seem to be less used than both buckshot and birdshot. But contact wound from standard shotgun buckshot also has high chances of bursting the head- based on survival from variety of guns, I would not conclude any is lethal enough to succeed without proper aim, and "provide damage everywhere".
I agree with everything but the last statement: one of the study you showed concluded that head bursting was a consequence of kinetic energy, not impacted by type of ammunition. And I don't know if that is even the right conclusion.
Yeah I understood the first part, I'm not sure about the second part: Buckshots inherently have less energy than slugs. This is something that ultimately depends on the specific ammunition used, usually will be shown on packaging. Definitely something to consider when choosing.
