[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 2886571, member: 35089"] I have to agree with the above. I am the proud owner of (IMO) the finest HD shotgun readily available which is the VEPR12 and up until now I considered it the pinnacle of HD weaponry...Started a thread on another forum about combat shotguns and SMS & Uncle Money Bags have successfully changed my opinion. What does a shotgun do for HD better than...say...a 5.56 or 300blk AR? - buckshot does NOT fan out at inside the home distances so you have to aim JUST AS WELL to hit you target with either. - It kicks like a sumbitch making follow up shots slower and less accurate. - it has limited capacity (think multiple targets). - MOST people run buckshot and or slugs so barrier penetration is equally an issue. - If you run birdshot to avoid barrier penetration, you decrease your chances of neutralizing a threat. I hate to just ship and argue the other side but as it sits right now I have to say rifle > shotgun...not that anyone cares. [/QUOTE]
