I can understand wanting a shotgun if your home defense plan involves breaching doors within your own house.
But what are the chances the geesemen being able to lock your doors inside your house with their long feathery fingers? |

Same turds with the same shitty smell in each one of these AR vs shotgun threads.
It makes GD smell like an outhouse every time one comes up..... |

Everytime i think about how cool it would be to have Benelli m4, my logic grabs hold and tells me how much ammo, or other stuff I can buy for my ARs.

And my second choice depending on mood for social work is the AK.
So much fail. Fail you say? seemed to work pretty well for the VC in a denser environment... I once had to live in a construction yard trailer for a month in a very bad part of town. the yard was about 75 yards square. My preferred go to gun was an under folder AK.. the AK was also very compact in the trailer. I have a very nice AR but I did not want to leave it in my car all day at work. The 7.62X39 round is far superior for going thru shit like the old vehicles and misc junk and construction materials that were scattered about the place. At 75-100 yards I would have had no problem hitting or penetrating anything. The concept of choice is based upon terrain. |

Man, that sure was a lot of typing to say things that have already been said in shotgun/rifle threads about 1000 times over.
Maybe you just wanted a finger workout. It's the only explanation I can think of. |

The answer must be an SBR with a can, and TAP.
Granted, I only read the thread title. |

There's a vast difference between 4-5 (ie, what will fit in an average, 4 door car.) wearing body armor and a military assault force. Just say "I like shotguns because I'm stuck in 80s action movies" and stop trying to justify why a manually operated, low capacity design from the 1880s is better than a modernized, semi-automatic rifle designed to kill people in combat. |

Well, I'm about off. I don't detract (I tend to extol) some of the weapons also suggested. I don't believe, and actually hate the urban myths when it comes to using the shotgun. I don't think its the right tool for every job either. I do KNOW it will work for me, in this house, if anything ever bad happens regardless of the what is, etc etc. And no, I haven't planned out what could happen to the exact detail as one suggests, but a man knowing his ground and possibilities also can rule out some things as probibilities. That being said, never be so inflexible that you can't adapt or react in the moment.
I've used about every modern small arm in the western world and most of the combloc ones. Oddly enough, I don't think I'm an idiot for holding the position that, if someone and a couple friends were to try to roll over in my house, they'd wind up hurting, and all with a lowly, "low capacity 1880s" technological fire-arm. |

If you're going to defend you house 1980's style, at least get an Uzi with a big ass Sionics can on it, none of that shotgun crap.

I guess it is that time of the month again.
I've never seen any statistics in these dumb threads. Anyone have any? Home defense engagements vs % dead bad guys for scattergun vs AR? |

The wall between reality and there is thin in some places. Sometimes thin enough you might see posts based on these different physical realities. It's why some posts here make little sense like "Shotguns are better for HD than rifles". Until the first portal opened, we had no clue WHY posts were made like that. After seeing the truth, we knew. If you're lucky, one day you might hear the tale of the portal, or find it in the archives. Many of us still have PTSTD's from that day. Learn hard, learn fast. Read the thread because you'll need to be able to know who to trust, and who not to. Who is real, and who is a geeseman in disguise. Or, if it will be your turn on the alter, and used as the key to open the portal to launch the attack against the Hitlerverse. |

^ Well this got more fun
ETA: Holy fuck. I read pages 44-47 and I can't stop laughing. I'm starting from the beginning when I get to a different location at work. |

Not to sure why someone would want a longer, heavier, lower capacity, harsher recoiling weapon for home defense, especially one that needs to be manually charged after each shot. I guess it makes sense if you were in a commie state.

Disclaimer. Ive never been to Cola Wars, i think its cool. Keep everything you have.
Add a kill house. Have guys walking through with an AR 15 or a shot gun. Shoot targets. Have a the participant lying in a bed, he then has to get up and shoot targets he isnt familar with. The Shotgun vs Ar will be solved. |

Shotguns have have a long track record of being used in successful home defense situations. There is no doubt here that a rifle is a better platform, but a shotgun seems to be pretty damn adequate based on history. I have challenged people in these threads before to present one example... just one mind you... of a real life incident where home defense failed because a properly set up shotgun ran dry on ammo. There is fantasy and fallacy on both sides of the shotgun vs. carbine debate. In the end, one does not kill people "deader" than the other. It's a stupid argument along the lines of "Which is a better grocery getter- a Ford Pinto or a Chevy Corvette?" |
