Yes sort of. Anything loaded in a shell like this will come out of the barrel at high velocity and could definitely penetrate skin at close range. The pills will probably turn into fine powder, so the effective range is probably like 1m?
Based on some quick research, the difference is more than 5x.
Bio-availability via oral dosage is 40-60% whereas as topical is less than 10%.
Intravenous is 100% bio-availability so open wounds should help so coating buck shot with it as others have suggested should be affective. It's also immediate, oral is 1 to 4 hours.
So you're saying to load this shell second.
Depends, if the pills stay whole (or in large enough chunks) they don't need shot to help them penetrate.
You just gotta be extra close if you want them to go see ~~Mr Toppum Hat~~ an old friend.
