i'm blasting regardless

(IANAL this isn't legal advice): Do not use less lethal ammunition against a human threat. Legally, it's still a lethal use of force AND they are less effective at stopping a threat. Cops get away with it because they can kill with impunity. To everyone else that's just a gun you shot at a person.

Rubber Slugs do not work how they work in movies. The person who is hit with one will either have life changing, permanent, often lethal damage, or they'll get up after a relatively short time bruised and pissed off.
These have the same issue. There is, at least, an argument for both of the "rubber slugs" as an animal control round.
Pepper is even worse. The rubber slug you can at least point to their potential use during animal incidents and decide that, while mostly useless, there is SOME use case for the thing to exist - specifically, bears or large dogs, where a lethal response is better than an ineffective one but "no go the fuck away" is the intended goal rather than an absolute end of the threat. Pepper has no such use case, as you are pointing a loaded gun at someone and then using less-lethal force against them. And animals will respond animalisticly and pepper actually might make aggression worse.
Another "pepper blast" cartridge. Again, these are not to be considered consistently effective at stopping a threat, and they count as lethal force.
