Because it would be shocking.

But on a human body, a shotgun would devastate, pulping part of a human body.


The effects of a shotgun blast on a dummy depend on the type of ammunition used; lead pellets can cause extensive and deep injuries, and the heat or impact can be very severe at close range.

Effect Details:

Pellet ammunition (hunting cartridges).
Extensive Damage: A close-range shot with lead pellets can cause extensive and deep injuries, as the combined mass of all the pellets has considerable kinetic energy.

Fractures: The force of the impact can also cause bone fractures, a phenomenon visible on an X-ray.
Heat: The heat generated by the pellets and gunpowder can also be observed.
