Why are people so mad that a 12 gauge slug is more powerful than a 5.56 round?
Obviously a shotgun has limitations, but inside 25 yards, a non CNS hit with a 12 gauge slug will kill a home intruder faster than the same hit with a 5.56. A 12 gauge slug has more than twice the energy. Even buckshot has about 50% more energy It will disrupt more tissue and cause more bleeding. |

I'd like to put these people in the middle of Kodiak island at night, right after break up, smeared in salmon oil and peanut butter, then offer them an AR with 9 mags of ammo of their choice, or a semi 12 with ammo of their choice. When they pick the 12, I'd give them their AR and wish them luck. Especially since "stopping power" doesn't exist. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Folks who insult the 12 gauge have probably never used it for hunting or self defense. It drops large mammals. It is not as good as 5.56 against armored targets. On a one shot basis against unarmored targets, 12 gauge has more stopping power. Depending on the load, a 12 gauge can be more than three times more powerful. That's just the science folks. A 2 1/2" slug has about 3000 ft lbs of energy. A 3 1/2" slug has close to 5000 ft lbs of energy. 5.56 is 1300 ft lbs. When they pick the 12, I'd give them their AR and wish them luck. Especially since "stopping power" doesn't exist. 5.56 clearly has as much or more stopping power as .375 H&H or .600NE. |

Really? If you only hit soft tissue, no bones or major vessels, the 12 gauge magically kills faster than the 5.56mm? Did anyone need "You don't even need to aim" for their bingo sheet? View Quote Bloodloss from a 12 gauge wound will lower your blood pressure to point of unconsciousness very rapidly. After that you will continue bleeding until you die. |

Obviously a shotgun has limitations, but inside 25 yards, a non CNS hit with a 12 gauge slug will kill a home intruder faster than the same hit with a 5.56. View Quote Using your logic that "more energy more better," why not use an 8 bore? A 12 gauge slug won't necessarily kill an intruder faster than a 5.56. Assuming they both hit, for example, the aortic arch and prevent any further blood flow to the brain, the person can still attack for 10-15 seconds with both. Assuming they have to bleed out to lower blood pressure, there's a limit here. Whether I drill a .75" hole or a 1.5" hole in my pump doesn't matter - it's not going to have any head either way. I think you're assuming "energy" kills people faster? Then we have to talk about the limitations of each system. By pigeonholing the argument into the shotgun, you basically now have a rifle with (usually) low capacity, (usually) more difficulty in adding optics and lights, and (usually) manual operation. If you have a semi-auto, mag-fed shotgun with a rail and a light... you're basically trying to replicate a rifle at that point. |

If you're within 10 feet, and I put a single 5.56 one inch to the right of your heart, what happens? If you're at the same distance and my POI is the exact same spot with a 12 ga 3" 00 load, what happens? Which shot is more likely to put you down? Now let's assume the rifle is an AR, and my shotgun isn't a 28" bbl break action SxS, and it's an actual modern semi auto, (higher than average) capacity built for home defense or aggression. No one really doubts that a 5.56 to a vital won't do the job, but which one will cause more trauma to the heart, or will increase your chances of getting a CNS hit, will lead to more blood loss, and can project more holes faster? Everyone here expects to put their 5.56 22 caliber bullet directly into the heart of a running, ducking, panicked target while they're potentially getting shot at, like they're shooting at their "tactical" target. It doesn't work that way. You can plan all you want, but a good plan rarely survives aggressive contact. A good shotgun increases your odds through pure and simple firepower. And how the fuck is putting a light, a rail, and having a modern shotgun trying to turn it into a rifle?! |

Will a 5.56 that doesn't hit anything valuable kill faster than an ice pick? What's faster to hit with? A rifle or shotgun both have a longer sight radius (than a pistol) or could be "aimed" looking down the top of the barrel at room distances. First shot? Same. Second shot? Well, that's where the recoil comes in. A 3" 12 gauge is going to move around a tad more than an AR. Duh. So here's hoping your first shot did the trick. I doubt either is any easier or not to hit with the first time. To suggest one might be more likely to miss with a shotgun than a rifle is silly. People can miss with either. And do. People can hit with either and do. In my house, looking from the bedroom to the stairs, a there's a window. One or two panes of glass until you get to the neighbors house, then a typical frame/stucco wall and their kitchen or living room. I can pick the wrong round or the right round. How about that "barrier blind" that's been popular? Anything shot that way better stay in the target. All we get out of these arguments are the same old crap. Yeah, well, if you do this or do that then. No but you gotta to that and then this... One post and some simpleton is throwing out "troll" because his feelings are hurt. Jeez. Get a life.
