I had thunder 5 which was the first modern 5 shot shotgun revolver. Good for about 12 feet. After that the 45s or 45-70s started tumbling. Wasn't impress with 410 at 10 foot it would verily penetrate 5 gallon plastic bucket. The judge is much better with longer barrel.

Thunder 5 was good for up close like from your bed to the bedroom door couldn't miss with the 410 load, and beside with the 2" barrel it shot flames about 5'. Loaded it with two shot loads, one buckshot load, one slug load and last 45 long colt or 45-70. Which even with short Barrel and the weight it buck little with the 45-70. Nothing compared to .454
