Oh.
Two things:
First of all, I don't understand why you guys don't like cats. They don't give a fuck about you or your possessions. They want your love, but it has to be on their terms. And they expect you to support them no matter how your life is going. Basically, they are like a hockey team, but with more hairballs (except for the Flyers, thanks Hartnell).
Second:
I'm trying to figure out why you would want maximum collateral damage given that everything you break... is yours.
Pay close attention to the "sleep induced stupor" part. If you're shooting at someone to defend yourself, and you're half-asleep, you probably aren't going to trust your accuracy, so you want that maximum spread to account for your own inaccuracy. Given a choice between survival with damaged possessions and death with intact possessions, I would take the former every time.
