Birdshot VS Human
He ain't dead.
It doesn't look comfortable.
The thread I found the picture in estimates about 80 feet for range.
Call it 25 yards for GURPS purposes.
25 yards is outside the point blank range.
If it's one ounce of #4 each pellet should have done 1d-3(0.5) pi- and even an unarmored target gets DR1 against it. It's impossible to roll well enough in GURPS to hit with as many pellets as have obviously hit him. But small-shot isn't really the damage per pellet but the dice reflect the effect of several.
There's 134 pellets in an ounce of #4. That's a +6 to hit and 25 yards gives -7... Net -1.
So if you were trying for this with a skill of 12 you'd need an 11 or less to hit. A critical success roll of 3 would still just land 8 hits.
On average, that critical hit would do 0 points. But those zero point hits would still hurt and bleed.
Max damage for the crit hit is 8 once you add everything up.
The average to-hit roll only lands two hits. Still zero points on average with a max chance of 2 hits delivered.
