Well the PTO shaft is about 2-3" diameter and spinning at 540rpm, divide by 60 and you get 9rps. So if your arm is kind of normal human size it would wrap around three or four times. Call it four and a half for ease of counting, and it's all happened in half a second.

I never even mentioned shotguns but most people are *reasonably* careful with them here. A lot of farms are getting chippers or shredders, and fallen stock incinerators. I expect we'll see a lot of astoundingly gruesome accidents from those.
