I like the AR in a gunfight, but for the a brief short range defensive encounter....the 12 gauge reigns supreme.

Not saying the 12 gauge is a pea shooter or anything because it creates some devastating wounds.

But in the same amount of time you can get about 2-3 rounds off with an AR.

I think both are excellent CQB weapons and it really depends on the shooter. For a small female, the AR is easily a better choice though.
