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.

Really? If you only hit soft tissue, no bones or major vessels, the 12 gauge magically kills faster than the 5.56mm?

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.

A guy in my Bn killed a charging water buffalo with a single round of m855.

5.56 clearly has as much or more stopping power as .375 H&H or .600NE.

Have you ever shot anything with a 12 gauge?

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.

Literally nobody here is mad about that. You keep saying the same thing and nobody is arguing with you because nobody is mad about it.

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.

Do you even know how blood loss leads to incapacitation?

Even if you miss vital organs and major arteries, a bigger wound will bleed you out faster.

I’m not saying that a shotgun is perfect for everything, but it will drop someone faster at close range.

LOL!

It was actually a pretty rad shot, it was a platoon from a line company that came to hang out in our AO cause it was THE SHIT for getting action. So they did a little night patrol in the fields around the powerplant (Musayib). So this kid bumps into the bedded down aqua tatanka, it springs up and head butts the fuck out of him, and mid air he pops a round off right up it's snout. Thing was DRT.  Next morning the farmer comes in all "you killed my thing pay me money". Our CO is all "we protect your fields from looters, you pay us!" They haggled for a bit, and we ended up paying the guy a little bit. (from shit fuck tons of captured BAATH money we rounded up).

"Usually"?? Wtf is usually?!

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?!

It took too many krauts out with every trigger pull, dead or wounded does it matter in war?

Now you Nancy boys brought up war in the first place.

Then lets get back to across the room or down the hallway. OP and all. You think the wounding potential is greater or less so at 12 yds? How about 20yds?
How about 50yds, sure as hell you will be hit, you might even be dead and all your dumb ass friends might have xtra hole in their ass.

Well, you missed the point that each firearm has a area in which it is best.

Carry during the day, a pistol

As to your "reply"  Oh my, You seem so touchy touchy touchy....

Well seems like you think anyone who doesn't use an AR for any and all defense is going to die a gruesome death...

Will a 5.56 that doesn't hit anything valuable kill faster than an ice pick?
Did anyone need "5.56 is like an icepick" for bingo? You guys busting out troll accounts to win the bingo game for this thread?
Same stupid argument.  If you don't hit anything immediately vital, they argue a  12 gauge isn't better than a 5.56, so, a 5.56 isn't any better than an ice pick.  Not my argument.  One's true, both are.  One's false, both are.  I'm northern European, calling me a troll is racist.  Got that on your bingo card?

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.  Go send beans to Chile.

I'm not saying 5.56 is ineffective.

5.56 is definitely deadly, but 12 gauge will do more damage in a single shot at close range.

I have. Lots of things.
Have you ever shot anyone with 5.56? If we're talking home defense distances, it's potentially moving 3 times as fast as buck shot, and it stretches things like some organs until they don't want to stretch anymore, and the dude has an unusual amount of hemorrhaging going on in his life.

Or not.

Really should look at pictures of 5.56 wounds before making statements like that. I mean, buckshot leaves the same devastation as being hit with a few non-expanding .380 rounds (but in worse form factor projectile wise), so sure catching a lungfull is a game ender.

But 5.56 leaves some fuck off nightmare fuel blow outs.

An AR makes a nasty head wound but a direct hit with a shotty removes most of it.
