One reason shotguns suck for some defense

One of many reasons I think shotguns make a lousy home defense weapon.
See the lack of spread in the buckshot pattern in the wall...including the pass-through in the bathroom.

I can't think of anything better than pump action w/ 18" inch barrel and #4 buckshot.

Nevermind the intruder had the shotgun. Winner had a revolver.

Sawed off and don't use buckshot. Number 6's will do fine in close quarters

I always thought the first two shells #6s were for inside the house and then you hit em with the buckshot or a slug when they were running away.

I recommend #6 shot (yes, birdshot) for household range shotgun engagements. Little wider spread and hits as a solid mass, for impact purposes. Much less likely to penetrate inside walls to kill/injure kids or neighbors.
#6 in the chamber and second shot, subsequent shots can be buckshot, in case the intruder is armored. Everyone has had a chance to take cover if you get to the 3rd and subsequent shot.

You don't get any spread worth mentioning.
-Using an 870
-18.5 inch barrel
-00 buckshot
EVERY 00 pellet will hit a Treasury Silhouette EVERY time.
Not too many of us have a 20+ yard long hallway or room in our house.
May as well have a carbine where you can get off quick follow-up shots and more of them.

We not talking bout inside the house? I've got the bases coeved. As posted before my bedroom arsenal for home defense:
That's a thermal imaging scope on the AR with a detection range of over 1000 yrds. They can run, but they can't hide.

office cockblocks youtube, so i could not see it. perhaps i should have said experienced gunhandler with shotgun wins everytime. can you shoot a shotgun sideways with one hand?
Posted on 5/6/13 at 2:52 pm to CoastieGM
Is there a non-shotgun that gets more spread?
Posted on 5/6/13 at 2:53 pm to CoastieGM
Yeah but it sounded like in the video the intruder assumed the homeowner was unarmed.

Off the paper sometimes. With rifles, too.

A double-barrel shotgun has advantages inside due to its short length

That's because there is nothing better than that inside a house.

#4 highbrass will put a hurtin on ya close range.
Besides, if a bullet can't go through sheetrock, it sure as hell aint going to go through the bad guy
