My wife and I were watching the discovery channell a few months ago when a
show on non-lethal arms came on.  Now she wants her own shotgun - with
beanbag loads.  Ballistic cloth surrounding lead shot.  Apparently doesn't
break the skin - but can cause all sorts of broken bones.  You should have
see the gin on her face during the slow-motion demonstration clips!

Another interesting load a freind (used work for the DOD) told me about is
unsabboted dimes.  Yes - it's an expensive load, but apparently quite
effective.  Imagine ten or fifteen dimes flipping and spinning and rotating
through the air...
