If somebody shot me with a wad....I'd beat them within an inch of their life. I am not a violent person by any means, but I do not take that kind of **** from nobody. You can actually die from that if the wad enters your body and nicks an artery.
I wasn't thrilled either but it was done by a guy I completely trust, after 2 deployments together (I trained him myself). Never close enough to break skin, and honestly after taking one at 10ft, you'd pretty much have to point blank it to get it to penetrate. at 15+ft you don't even hardly feel it.
