For anyone that doubts the effectiveness of ANY projectile at close range:

Basically: One guy shot another with a .44cal muzzleloading pistol at VERY close range, loaded with powder, wadding and cigarette butts, as a joke. The target of the joke died because of 3 butts penetrating his chest near the heart. Of course, there are some interesting contradictions in the story. In the first paragraph, he used a muzzleloading rifle, later, he was charged with loading a muzzleloading pistol. Anyway, If cigarette butts can penetrate a torso and cause death, breathmints certainly can.
