When I went to high school in East Texas in the late eighties, a lot of my classmates would 'hunt' each other for fun using shotguns loaded with paper. I never participated because I did not have a shotgun and preferred painless amusement - it really smarted if you were hit from close range. I remember one guy was banned from playing because he used magnum shells and got pieces of paper embedded in the skin of one of the other kids.
A LOT of people in the country kept shells loaded with rock salt for driving trespassers and neighbors' pets off their land. That would break skin at a decent range and really hurt, but usually didn't cause serious injuries.

If I had to be shot with cereal I think that Rice Krispies would be high on the list. Would be way better than getting hit by honey bunches of oats or wheaties.
