So you understand how birdshot is different than a FMJ? A pellet isn't going through 3 walls, a FMJ is. There is massively more penetration and lethality after penetration. Have you ever shot a gun?
And yes a shotgun is much easier to use, are you crazy? You need much much much less accuracy. You literally can just aim down a hallway and get great coverage.

Holy fuck just stop ... Birdshot as I have explained does not fan out. Stop watching cowboy movies. I own multiple shotguns in multiple different gauges and have my own range. I've been shooting probably longer than you have been alive. You clearly have never shot a shotgun and telling me you get great coverage down a hallway is complete nonsense, birdshot will not fan out down a hallway. The recoil and weight of a shotgun removes it as a good defense weapon for basically everyone but people who are physically strong. It's a terrible home defense gun.
Did you all learn everything about firearms from Hollywood?
Nope, use shotguns and understand how different chokes can impact spread.
With no choke I would expect a 2 inch spread at 10 feet. 2 inches is a lot of grace in a life or death situation.
Yes it has a lot of recoil, but in reality you're not getting into a shoot out. You're shooting once, maybe twice, before the encounter is over or into a scuffle.
They are not creating this massive wall of birdshot that you are claiming. Doesn't matter what fucking chokes you use.
Most people have no clue about chokes and there is not a single one giving you a massive wall of pellets at 10'.
ROFL no just no...there is a reason LEOs have gone from revolvers to double stack handguns....fire fights can last a lot longer than the bullets do and you want to be the last person with them. You %100 should not be skuffling with someone trying to kill you in your home with rounds still in the firearm you are using.
The amount of just wrong and ignorance in this thread is astonishing.
