I read this article myself, many years ago; I forgot the name of the author though. I do remember that the slug broke up. Part of the slug did penetrate the heart and kill the buff. However, it was a short range, broad side shot under perfect conditions. If I recall correctly, the takeaway was that while possible under ideal conditions, the performance wasn't convincing enough to make the practice sensible.
